Hawker

A hawker is a bounty hunter from a clan known as The Taoclave. Prior to the regulation of Imperial Seekers, hawkers roamed Eia alone, or with an apprentice. During the Rivenian era, the practice became illegal in both Yrdachai and Fordachai, and brandished The Taoclave a hive of outlaws.

Hawkers would convene with The Taoclave at a different location every year, constantly moving their shared home to remote places. By the early-mid 18th Century ASE, their numbers were so few that they remained inside a well-hidden cave for decades.

Training
Potential hawkers are selected by trusted individuals of The Taoclave, and usually sourced from foster homes or orphanages around Eia. They can be trained from as young as 5, cared for and protected by their new 'family' until given the choice at 16 to either remain or assimilate back into society.
