Preface

A man I long respected once said, "Fate will guide you to where you need to be." Growing up on my family's estate, one could not have convinced the youth of those times that he would one day live in the distance reaches of famed Jontara. He would likewise find it incredulous to be believe he would be beholden to an Oath to spend his days attending to the destruction of the undead. Such a thing would have been wholly impossible on every front.

Fate guided me to the west, where a small monastery outside of a frontier town housed the beginning steps upon the mysteries of would become my duty to the Order of Voln. Fate would later guide me south, to Aldora, where my training in those mysteries would be completed.

More than a decade later, I now find myself at the pinnacle of my Order's teachings. Somewhere along that journey, I shifted from novitiate to Master. Now, perhaps the time has come to become something more. To move my duties from mere Hunter, to Teacher. It is a hubris to presume that one has something to offer others in ways of knowledge and understanding and a great many fools presume themselves wise in the course of spreading false or mistaken knowledge. However, I have been proded to this work by people whom I respect. They likewise assure me that this attempt is not an excercise of ego, but of my greater duty to the Order. I will proceed with this principle in mind.

This guide is not meant for a particular audience. Nor do I intend for it to inspire people to the work of the Hunter either through my Order or otherwise. Instead, let it simply be said that not all evils in this world can be avoided. Should your life, your work, or your calling bring you into conflict with the evils written upon these pages may these words provide some glimmer of advantage in that moment.
