Dire Hunter
Forever the hunter, never the prey. Your upbringing failed you, leaving you to learn quick to survive in the Dying World. Raised amongst beasts and wildkin within the wilderness, starved amongst a sea of sand and cragged rocks for a lifetime. You wear the corpse of the creature that stalked your childhood as a grim memento.

- Boots made from another creature, your footprints become a warning.
- A mosaic of the myriad of scars from your eternal hunt.
