Beast Master

Beast Masters are a specialized rank of hunter and gather.

They have adapted to hunting alongside a beast, instead of against it. This partnership leaves both parties capable of capturing twice the food, thus more to eat for themselves and the Kingdom as a whole. They are highly respected members of society.

Overview
Being a beast master is not a line of work just anyone can get into.

It requires years of hard work, honing your skills. Only the strongest can make their mark on the world in this line of work. To be quite blunt, many have been harmed just from trying, while plenty more have been left for dead. It's not the easiest of tasks, working alongside a creature that sports both fangs and claws, but some make do with it.

Due to the harsh conditions of the north, most beast masters find that creatures like wolves and bears tend to make the best companions. It's fairly easy to succumb to the harsh winter environment. Only the biggest and the toughest can survive out here. Plus, when there's a competition for food in the freezing parts of the north, having some as large and intimidating as a bear tends to go much farther than a smaller carnivore.

The boen between beast master and beast is something to be marveled at and celebrated.

It takes years upon years to even begin to form such a bond, even even longer to find a suitable companion. Most are far too stubborn, others just don't care for mortal kind as a whole. It's a long, hard road, coated with the blood of those who tried and failed.
