The Lonely Hunters



The Lonely Hunters live in the City of the Dead during the Ninth Hour of Night. Some of them seek out their prey, some of them wait for their prey to seek them out. Some of them are well-known, some of them are known only by a few.

The Four Women are separate from the Lonely Hunters. They do not hunt. They give, if you seek them out, if you supplicate yourself to them. If you wish knowledge or power or freedom, they can give it to you if you are willing to pay their price.
