Hunters' Guild

The  is an organization that handles the registration and management of Hunters. They also mediate jobs between different clients and Hunters.

Overview
The  is a supranational organization, straddling between nations, that does not get involved in wars or political matters, and does not accept orders or coercion from the state. The guild registers hunters, promotes them, arranges jobs for them, and provides support to hunters who get into trouble while on a legitimate mission from the guild.
