Monster Hunters

Monster hunters are traveling warriors that are paid for their ability to dispatch peculiar beasts. They live much the same life as a many-brand knight; but they don't take brands, and aren't paid to kill other people.

Monster hunters have been known to live in the households of the richer land owners, being kept there just in case any peculiar beasts may cause trouble.

Monster hunters can only really be found in places where peculiar beasts are common, such as around the extremely dangerous Bolgerwater, for instance.

Alerting Methods
There are multiple methods to alerting a monster problem to a monster hunter if they are illiterate, the first of which being to draw the Aekis; a six-pointed charcoal drawing of a star.

Also, in some places that are unable to draw or just don't choose to draw an Aekis, townsfolk will mount a severed pig, cow, cat, or dog head, or a chicken corpse around their houses. These different heads mean different things: A dog head meaning pack creatures; a cow head representing large creatures; a chicken corpse representing moderate to small creatures; a pig head representing an enigmatic creature that the person doesn't know anything about; and a cat's head representing a sentient creature.
