Gilded Fang

The Apex directs operations and is chosen through the deadly Apex Ascension competition. Fang Masters lead dangerous hunts and train newer members.

The Apex — Venra Coldfang leads the guild and oversees contracts. Candidates compete in the Apex Ascension.
Fang Masters — Experienced hunters who lead teams on dangerous work and mentor recruits.
Fang Hunters — Full members who have completed a first contract, working alone or in teams.
Fang Initiates — Train and assist senior hunters before undertaking their own work.

Hunts — Track, capture, or eliminate difficult targets.
Clandestine work — Carry out espionage, sabotage, and discreet recovery jobs.

Seek noble-house contracts and acquire magical equipment for top hunters.
Track down and eliminate the Shadows of the Chain, a rival bounty-hunter group undermining contracts.

Establish outposts in major Imperion cities and a covert network for gathering target intelligence.

Warriors, rangers, rogues, and spellcasters join for hunting work. Some are former criminals or mercenaries; others train in the guild from youth. Efficiency, discretion, and obedience outweigh moral objections.

Train in tracking, combat, and stealth while assisting senior hunters.
Complete a first contract to become a Fang Hunter.

Secret Altoria safehouses and protection through the guild’s connections with guards and the underground.

Marking of the Fang — After a first high-profile contract, a member receives an enchanted gilded tooth pendant called the Fang Mark.

Venra Coldfang — A ruthless tracker who rose through difficult contracts and now serves as the Apex.
Korrin “Whispers” Bladeclaw — A stealth and infiltration specialist assigned to delicate jobs.
Brask Ironmaw — A close-combat specialist sent against dangerous or heavily guarded targets, often leaving considerable destruction.

Iron Bondsmen — combines force and enforcement with the Fang’s tracking skills.
Shadow Syndicate — sometimes hires discreet eliminations or recoveries, though the Fang denies formal alignment with criminals.
Crimson Cloak — competes for targets and favors public displays of force.
Grim Court — clashes with the Fang when contracts target rogue death cultists or cross its operations.

Fangspire is a fortified base disguised as a dilapidated warehouse in Shadowgrove. Only members and trusted clients know it.

Inside are training grounds, armories, and meeting rooms. Secret safehouses elsewhere in Altoria support ongoing hunts.

History

Hunters and mercenaries founded the Gilded Fang over a century ago to focus on tracking, capturing, and eliminating high-profile targets rather than large campaigns or protection work.
