Our parents have told us all stories of stalking
boogey men when we were young, and most of
us learned to ignore these tales. I wish I could
say that such stories were pure fantasy, but there
are boogey men out there… and they’re hunting us all. No
one knows their true name, though they’ve been dubbed the
totem hunters. These foreign beings stalk the world of Caen
hunting for trophies to take back to their homeland. Legend
would hold these hunters as diabolically evil, but I have
found that they are something far worse… they’re utterly
indifferent. The totem hunter stalks the land like it was a
bread basket hunting man and beast alike, as if they were one
and the same.
I am one of the few who has witnessed one of these
creatures and lived to speak of it. They are humanoid, but
very tall and muscular. Their skin is a dank lavender-blue
with white patches, and their heads are bald with long plain
faces. All totem hunters are masters of the mystical arts, and
they wield strange magical creations. I have also witnessed
with my own eyes their ability to draw powers from their
victims and turn around and use them themselves. They
are expert stalkers, and once they’ve chosen a target, they
don’t relent (this I must regretfully say I’ve also witnessed).
However, they do seem to bear an unusual sense of honor
and a strong sense of ritual.
Yet there is more to this tale. In my travels I once met a

man who claimed to have been to the totem hunters’ home
city. He said that it was on a continent far to the south of
Immoren, and he boasted that he was the only captive ever to
escape. The whole place he reported to be a mining operation
that funneled into a large, self-contained city. There
were many of these creatures there, and the ones known to
our realm were very different from many of the others, who
seemed only to be simple laborers.
There they practiced strange things, and the man was
privy to a bizarre society that was clearly very complex. He
did not discover the nature of their hunts in our realm, but
he boasted that it was little more than sport to them. He of
course claimed to be the ultimate sportsman, in that he outwitted
them. However, I must say that this man’s testimony
was highly suspect, as I discovered him raving insane in an
abandoned ruin, and madmen do tell strange tales.…
Combat
Totem hunters are cunning and intelligent combatants.
They hunt for sport, choosing their targets carefully and pursuing
them relentlessly (though never fighting to the death). They
hunt either alone or in small packs, and they have been known
to make any region their hunting ground and any creature their
target (the more challenging, the more appealing). They tend
to rely on their magic items, although once they’ve begun totem
