Hunter

What it governs

• Not combat: thinking ahead of an animal instead of meeting it.Charter, Part III — Gathering group
• Traps work while nobody watches, and one checked late feeds a scavenger.
• Furs keep travellers warm: in the far south, wear furs or freeze.
• An animal taken alive can be kept instead of eaten; there is no taming.
