In-Game text

"Till the monster stirred, that demon, that fiend Grendel who haunted the moors, the wild Marches, and made his home in a hell."

–Beowulf, circa 1000

While many make a habit of running or fleeing from the darkness, there are a few who choose to venture into it. Monster Hunting allows a pilgrim to both engage and harvest the more fearsome of creatures.
