Highspire Haunter

Technically known as "haunters of the lower levels" haunters are a catch-all term for those brave or foolish enough to wander the underground levels of Highspire. A massive dungeon full of failed experiments, monsters, bizarre ecological hazards and every kind of criminal that's ever needed to disappear somewhere.
Haunters are something of a law unto themselves, primarily because no one else wants to try enforcing law down there. Haunters do everything from rescuing travelers lost in the winding passages into the city to hunting strange beasts to locating rare materials to capturing or killing notorious criminals.

Career

Qualifications

There are no formal qualifications to become a haunter. One must merely descend and stay alive.

Career Progression

While there are no formal ranks among haunters, those of great skill tend to develop a reputation in the underground, and find themselves solving bigger problems and roaming larger territory. Sometimes junior haunters will even seek them out for especially difficult problems, and a few are so (in)famous that word of them reaches the surface, or even the higher levels of the spire.

Payment & Reimbursement

You keep what you kill. There's no formal salary, though haunters sometimes collect bounty contracts or sell parts of animals or monsters that alchemists can use for their experiments.
