The Cavat Conclave

A special league of elite hunters for the Bloodtrack Clan. They have a long standing accord with the fey of the Gredel Forest which grants them safe passage from the fey creatures of the wood, occaisionally they even pass over to the fey realms.

Structure

The Conclave has a leader called the Huntmaster and a second in command. Aside from those two the rest are all held as equals in the order. The members rarely gather in more than groups of three, which is their standard hunting group. They have no formal building that they work from as they are kept secret from the public. Any communications are done by word of mouth from member to member.

Culture

The Conclave take their role in the Bloodtrack Clan very seriously. They see themselves as guardians to the people of their clan. Without their presence and negotiations with the Fey of the wood their city could be overrun or at the least under constant threat of attack.

As such they keep their secret as members of the Conclave very seriously, some of the deals they must make would be viewed as barbaric and unconscionable by the general public. If they knew what had to be done for their safety they surely would be outraged. Any member who even mentions the existence of the order in mixed company would find themselves quickly disappeared from their home.

History

The Conclave has existed even longer than the The Tribal Accord. The Bloodtrack Clan regularly wandered along the treeline of Gredel Forest for many decades before the clans agreement was established. They often would have run ins with fantastical and vicious creatures when hunting in the woods. During this time Folco Bloodtrack came in contact with a representative of Count Orchid, the apparent leader of the fey creatures that lived deep in the wood.

Chief Folco Bloodtrack and Count Orchid came to an agreement and formed The Cavat Pact to prevent conflict between their peoples, at no small cost to the Bloodtrack Clan. The Conclave was formed per the pact to act as representatives of the clan and were the only ones who would be given safe passage amongst the fey.

The Conclave slowly grew over the years, starting with just a select handful of members to the dozens strong it is now. After about a decade Folco Bloodtrack handed over control of the Conclave to Vathir Bloodtrack who served as his second from the beginning. Once this ocurred the Chief was separated from the Conclave. He was still informed of any major developments but the responsibilities were largely separated.

Over the years the tributes given have been altered and adjusted through continued negotiations. Regardless of the content of the tribute the Conclave handles procuring and delivering it. The original tribute was quite severe, the fey are not known for their charity or kindness. The nightmarish stories of their cruelty and deviance is not exaggerated for the first tribute was to be a young child. The chief agonized over this, he had already agreed to the pact breaking it would result in a full scale war which he new his people would not win. Concerned for the greater good he sent his second Vathir Bloodtrack to abduct a young child in the night. Since then the tribute have variated from simple gold tributes, to materials, and back to children. All have been done in the name of peace with the fey.

Demography and Population

This small organization has between 20-30 members at any given time. All reside in Gondral. Only members know who the other members are, with the exception of Dillard Bloodtrack who knows their leader but no other members.

Military

All members of the Conclave are elites in both hunting and combat, proficient at both blade and bow. They are skilled at stealthfully approaching prey without notice. Should the agreement between the clans ever fall apart they could easily serve as masterful assassins.

Foreign Relations

The conclave are soley responsible for maintaining the treaty with the fey that secretly control the Gredel Forest. As such, while the outskirts of the forest are as safe as any other woods, they are the only ones that hunt in the depths of the forest. Any others would likely fall victim to malevolent fey that roam amongst the trees... or are the trees.
