Dialogue
What do yo do here?
I am the elite mark hunter. I contemplate the codex, hunt the hideous, and preserve the peace. And of course, I bag the bounty of Allied Seals when I do slay one of those mischief-makers. If you have something to ask, don't tarry. The elite mark waits for no one. In fact, sometimes it will seem that a rank S elite mark appears for no one. "S" would be the most feral of the elite marks. They are ranked by danger, you see.
Tell me about the rank B elite mark. (Phecda)
A bear of unusual size from the distant heights of Abalathia's Spine, Phecda's southward migration has not been a happy one for the Black Shroud. Its uncouth appetite has emptied whole areas of the forest of edibles and game, and no hunter has returned with evidence of a cull--or returned at all. Phecda may be distinguished from its more peaceable cousins by the constant slick of blood upon its claws.
Tell me about the rank A elite mark. (Girtab)
Girtab, the mightiest among mites that ravage the North Shroud. Painstaking field observations have revealed that the Girtab prefers its prey fresh, and keeps a living larder of two- and four-legged meals artfully held fast in a web.
Tell me about the rank S elite mark. (Thousand-cast Theda)
Botanists call Thousand-cast Theda as well grown a specimen of ochu as ever has been recorded in the North Shroud, but the foolishness of botanists is a fact well known and oft deplored. Most species of this carnivorous family of bindweed use scent to lure their insect prey. Theda, however, is a plant notably lacking in patience and has evolved tentacle-like vines to pluck fish from water, and grows outsized on its rich meals. Along with the fisherfolk of the Shroud, Thousand-cast Theda is the main predator of venomous stingrays. Theda's other favored prey is, coincidentally, the fisherfolk of the Shroud. Hunters suspect a connection, but the foolishness of hunters is a fact well-known.
