Editing Hunter's Guild of Noelictus (section)

=== Applicants and Novice Hunters ===
To be accepted for training to the Hunter's Guild, applicants must pass an interview conducted by a [Hunter], a Watch representative, and a third person unaffiliated with the law or guild appointed by the local mayor.  Afterwards, there are several tests for physical fitness, including running a mile in six minutes without Skills, cocking a crossbow with a hundred pounds of draw, marching fifty miles in a day with a pack and wearing armor, climbing a cliff barehanded, and swimming across a lake. Those who fail the first round of training must do chores or pick up skills such as basic alchemy and blacksmithing in order to continue.

Applicants are accepted as Novice Hunters after six months of training, and are given a hatchet, custom crossbow and iron-tipped bolts. Also called Junior Hunters, they are mentored in a squad led by an older [Hunter]. In Fiskren, Novice Hunters are assigned to slaying zombies and other lesser undead. Novices are promoted to Hunters at the discretion of the guild.
