Hill fort of the Hunt
Near the pinnacle of Tyrant's tower, the largest mountain in the Dragonlands, is a fortified hall with an exterior layer of wood and thatch hiding the masterful masonry within that stands as a testament to the tenacity of the strongest amongst the Cloaked Hunters, a guild of elite monster and bounty hunters renowned for keeping their members anonymous when completing contracts. The hill fort of the hunt is their official headquarters, though few meetings are held there as the difficult to reach location serves a more primary purpose as a trial to prove one's worth to join.
Within the halls of the fort are all sorts of supplies, tools, weapons, armour and sparring equipment suitable for the hunters to hone their skills or replace what they may have lost on the climb. Less common and easily replaced items are also available for purchase or through credit, allowing equipment to be paid for in advance out of the money to be made from a contract as long as the hunter involved has netted a profit ten times greater than the amount being requested for the guild in the past. A request board is present, filled with public contract requests available to be taken by any bounty hunter, as well as the book of contracts used for the private requests made to the cloaked hunters specifically thanks to their reputation for results and contractual ties to the state as a stand-in for a continent-wide police force.
The fort isn't solely a business front, however; a gym, hot springs, beds and other comfortable leisure facilities are present, hidden within a cave blocked off behind the fort itself; a means of rest and relaxation after a treacherous journey, or a safehouse should one of their members need it, or even just as a social hub for those of like minds and ability can mingle in a tireless job that can have you travelling across worlds for a successful hunt.
The hill fort itself is maintained by a small number of staff, most of whom are aspiring hunters under the watchful eye of a more experienced retired one, who would be granted the title of "Lord of the Hall" until they could no longer perform their duties and would pass on their title to another. Between this small squad of staff, the halls are kept clean and organised, whilst the safety and security is maintained by one of the Masked Masters at all times. The Masked Masters are so named for being the topmost positions of the guild and have ornate masks compared to the plain ones of the lower members, and one must always be present in the hill fort should any formal business or danger arise.
