【 • Solvi • 】
Hunter of the North
She still remembers what life was like before the empire had come to her homeland. She had been a young hunter at the time, still learning the trade from her mentors. Her understanding of the meaning behind these strangers was limited at most. As she grew older and began to hunt herself, more of them had come, they had built their walls and their town. They had begun to try to bring civilization to her forests. They needed the hunters still though. The lands were too wild, too untamed for their shields and shining armor.So they had sought help. Gifts and trade in exchange for the heads and hides of the monsters in the woods. She earned her title in both the eyes of the kingdom and her kinsfolk. The first generation of Hunters in this far flung part of the empire. Enjoying the supplies and equipment, the warmth and comfort provided by the patronage of a curious princess. Some among them believed that one day they could push the wilds back, that she would become unnecessary. Solvi, like all Hunters before her had glimpsed the truth of these lands. There was no taming to be had, the beasts were just the decoration on a land older and more primal than any could truly understand.
She would hunt, enjoy her life, master her craft and handle whatever life threw at her, even an untrue princess. She knew nothing would change here. Her life, while not safe, was as secure as anyone's could be.
