Oath of the Grim Hunt

The oath of the grim hunt is a calling that requires its followers to seek out and destroy the many evils the stalk the mortal realms. Often called Grim knights, or Knight Slayers, these hunters dedicate themselves, body and soul, to hunting down the monstrous, the wicked, and the mutated, and destroying them with a burning, merciless prejudice.

Tenets of the Grim Hunt

---

• Kill the monster, burn the cult: Seek and destroy the monsters that seek to feast on the woes of mortals, and end the lives of their mortal followers.
• Defy the dark ones: Evil persists because it lays seeds. Destroy the foundations of the dark gods power and wipe their names from the histories.
• Be ever prepared: Your enemy never rests, but you must never be unable to answer the call. Abstain from drink, and gluttony. Keep your body strong, and your will unbreakable.
• No mercy for the wicked: Your enemies lack empathy and mercy. Have none and show them none.
