Giant-Slayers
The Lesson of the Giant
The Giant-Slayers are a group of various warriors intent on defending humanity from giants, they separate
themselves according to the race of giants they hunt, i.e. Fire Giant-Slayers, Frost Giant-Slayers, etc.
Far from teaching that giants are inherently evil, the Lesson of the Giant is one of education of the
ignorant and patience with the less intelligent.
Dragon-Slayers
The Lesson of the Dragon
The Dragon-Slayers are divided by the race of dragon they seek(Shadow or Death dragons), or in some cases by
alignment (Evil dragons) or class (Wizard Dragons). Their only common bond is the hate of dragon-kin and
adherence to the Lesson of the Dragon, which teaches to never underestimate your opponent nor fall victim to
pride.
Wild-Slayers
The Lesson of the Wild
Wild-Slayers are warriors in the remote regions deep in the wilderness. They are specialists in their clime and
terrain and are classified as such. The Mountaineers are skilled climbers, the Plainsmen are expert trackers, the
Foresters are nearly invisible hunters, and so on. They follow the Lady's teachings and the Lesson of the Wild. A
lesson in avoiding assumption and admiring the beauty of the unfamiliar.
Sky-Slayers
The Lesson of the Sky
The Sky-Slayers or Wind-Riders are rangers mounted on aerial beasts. They are separated into groups based upon the
mount they ride. There are no Dragon-Riders, but the wings of griffin-riders, hawk-riders, and hippogriff-riders
are numerous. Drake-riders are rare, except for the Knights of the Order of the Drake, though they are warriors
for Marcora they are close allies and followers of the Lesson of the Sky. It teaches endless possibilities and
never ending frontiers.
Deep-Slayers
The Lesson of the Deep
Deep-Slayers are the defense against invasion from below. They hunt any intruding force of subterranean creatures.
Most are specialists in one race of the Deepndark. The Derro-Slayers and Duergar-Slayers work together to keep
the close presence of the evil dwarves from gaining a foothold in the human lands. The Drow-Slayers keep the areas
near the dark elf border to the south. The Lesson of the Deep teaches the ruthlessness of those races born
in the Deepndark.
