The Bestia

The Bestia is an organization of Mercenaries within Ferallum who are known to protect the travelers by eliminating threats on the roads. They don’t normally take official contracts for marks, instead making a living by selling off monster parts from quarries they slay.

Structure

There are It takes nutrients from the ground, Ferallum, and helps to feed the organization. Clans often consist of an Alpha and four followers, but exceptions always exist. They are encouraged to live within the wilds, and keep vigilant for any threats that could bring harm to travelers.
The Stem is the communication and intelligence network of The Bestia, capable of dispatching and relaying information to clans nearly instantly. The main headquarters is based out of Gallic, its central location allows it to get messages and packages out quickly all across Ferallum.
The Canopy is the top, those who oversee the happenings across Pallet and make choices of The Bestia. When great threats from outside Ferallum come, they are the ones who get involved with fighting off draconic invaders from the outer continents, demons from Galalland, and other threats to the wellbeing of Ferallum. Many argue they do more then the Beast King themselves, as they are actively trying to make changes.

Culture

Those who pledge themselves to The Bestia are encouraged to live within the Wilds of Ferallum, to be self-sufficient and not take from the citizens. Their purpose is to protect the citizens without causing a burden.
The only exception to this is those of The Stem, who often live in Gallic and small communities, as its their job to hear of the issues the citizens are encountering.

Assets

The Bestia greatest asset they have is their communication network. Employing Feathered Folk to transport vital missives and packages, they are the lifeline of not just The Bestia, but all of Ferallum.
Various Beast Kings have tried several times to employ the Feathered Folk into their own courts, but the deal that The Bestia has with them is to good that none have succeed save for a few individuals.

History

The Bestia was once a dispatch of the first Beast King, said to have helped build the wall that kept the Bullkin upon Sentinel Hill during the Battle of the Horn. They stood by the first king during his reign, but broke off from Second King due to disagreements on how things should be run.
They saw the second king as too passive, and allowed much of the land to fall out of his control. As such, they took it upon themselves to begin hunting the beast and threats that patrolled Harkarl, rather than the political battlefield.
Eventually, they became a faction on their own, not aligned to the Beast King, but sharing similar goals, meeting them through different means. The Beast King believes that people should unite and advance, while The Bestia believes that people should embrace their primal origins, making their own choices.
However, as neither side are actively forcing their will, allowing choice, they very rarely get into conflict.
