Winds of Ghyran ~ Trapper & Trainer

The beastmasters of Karond Kar descend upon Ulthuan, aiming to capture and break all creatures in their warpath – and to those who will not be broken, only death awaits. The struggle to dominate the beasts of Ulthuan however has grown beyond its original intent. The Beastmasters, hardpressed by the Shining Guard, have taken to passing on the basics of their trade to soldiers of ‘lesser caliber’. On the other front, the forces of Order are scrambling to recapture the beasts who have been broken by the Druchii. As a gesture of good faith and solidarity in the alliance, Karl Franz has sent Ulthuan his Imperial Huntsmen – men renowned for their skill in taming wild beasts.
