Shadow Hunters

The Shadow Hunters were originally an outlaw band that originated in Sundown to combat the vampires that controlled the city. Specializing in hit-and-run tactics and guerrilla-style warfare, the Shadow Hunters did a great deal to put a dent in Ko's plans for the city. Started by the Lord Paladin, Samuel Brookholte, the Shadow Hunters had sponsorship from the Church of the Flamebringer, but lacked the necessary firepower to overthrow the regime completely. With the arrival of Dhamizad T`anas into their ranks and later his friends and comrades that would later base themselves out of the Whispering Raven tavern, the Shadow Hunters eventually got the backing they needed to overthrow the vampire regime with a full-scale civil war.

With the vampires ousted from control, the role the Shadow Hunters play in Sundown has evolved from outlaw protector, to lawful guardians of the city. Acting as the law enforcement for Sundown, the Shadow Hunters have an all ready established rapport with the citizens and are largely respected by them. Because of this, it becomes increasingly hard for illegal operations to take place openly in the city, though there are still shadowy havens within the Old City that allow such behavior to fester. Shadow Hunters are identified by the five pointed badge they wear, with a leaping wolf etched upon it.
