Hunting in Brevoy

Hunting is a time-honored tradition in Brevoy for high- and low-born alike, as well as routine way of putting food on the table, with most who engage in a hunt praying to Erastil for blessing. As with most things in Brevic culture, there are strict and ancient rules that must be followed. Respect for the hunt and the quarry, as well as good sportsmanship must be shown at all times (so no poison use), the hunter must rely on their own skill and stalk the prey naturally (no having a servant rustle the quail out of the bushes), and the hunter must show reverence to the wilds and not be wasteful (clean up campsites when finished, use as much of the animal as possible). Failure to do so results in a severe loss of social standing, as nobody wants to share in Erastil's wrath by associating with an unscrupulous hunter. Before a hunt, it is customary to wish a hunter bad luck, so as to confuse the capricious fey spirits of the forest.
