Who They Are

Inquisitive Hunters follow the older traditions of hunting — methodical, documented, historically grounded approaches that predate the Sundering. They believe understanding is the prerequisite to effective action: you do not hunt what you do not comprehend. They're the researchers, archivists, and scholars of the Hunter community, and often serve as the Society of Leopold's institutional knowledge base.
