The Birth of the Hunters
In the fifth year of New Edinburgh's existence, Elspeth Stewart and Captain Angus MacTavish create something new — a unit of warriors trained not for the formations and siegecraft of European warfare, but for the stalking patience of Highland hunters and the absolute darkness of Clivilius nights. The Chewbathian Hunters will become legend, but legend is built from blood and failure and the hard lessons that only survival can teach. These are the years when the methods are forged, when the traditions begin, and when young warriors learn what it means to hunt creatures that hunt back.
