Hunters' Guild

The Hunters' Guild is an organization that handles the registration and management of Hunters. They also mediate jobs between different clients and Hunters.

## Overview

The Hunters' Guild is a supranational organization, straddling between nations, that does not get involved in wars or political matters, and does not accept orders or coercion from the state. The guild registers hunters, promotes them, arranges jobs for them, and provides support to hunters who get into trouble while on a legitimate mission from the guild.

## Ranking System

* G-rank - "Guild Hopefuls" children six to nine years of age who are given odd jobs around the town or tasks to join those going out to collect herbs
* F-rank - Must be at least ten years of age and jobs include collecting plants and minerals; tracking birds, deer, and wild boars for harvest; and weeding out jackalopes and other lesser monsters.
* E-rank - Can take on jobs to hunt goblins  and orcs
* D-rank - No job restrictions but the rank has somewhat of a lesser reputation so some jobs ask for a higher rank
* C-rank - "full-fledged hunters" largest number of hunters are this rank
* B-rank - "first-class hunters" highly esteemed and are celebrities in neighboring cities
* A-rank - "Veritable legends" and are celebrities in the country
* S-rank - "Hero Rank"

## Regulations

**Promotions:** Promotions are decided by committee and are based on a hunter’s completed jobs, achievements, and contributions to the guild. A minimum amount of time is required to be registered before a promotion occurred. An exception to this is completing the Hunters’ Prep School.
