The Hunter's Call

The Hunter's Call

As you continue your tour, you’ll eventually meet the latest Trading Company to join its fellows at the Outposts: The Hunter’s Call! Initially, these wily fisherfolk preferred to set up shop on remote Seaposts where the catches are more plentiful. You can still find them out there fishing away, but an uptick in dangerous wildlife has convinced them to split their time between their beloved Seaposts and a somewhat less beloved but eminently practical station at each Outpost’s docks.

The Hunter’s Call comprises one big extended family, all related to the legendary hunter Merrick – and while these folks may claim to be interested in the thrill of hunting, I have a sneaking suspicion that they really got into business just to keep their bellies full. They value meat and fish, especially if it’s been cooked just right, and delivering them a fine fillet or a perfect pork chop is a reliable way of earning reputation with their Company.

In fact, once upon a time, a fresh delivery was the only way to earn reputation with The Hunter’s Call, single-minded as they were. Now, however, with the local fauna getting out of hand, they’ve finally started offering all kinds of Voyages to pirates who like a little more guidance to their adventures.

Maybe you’ll want to take on a quiet Fishing Voyage to set off in search of rare specimens? Or perhaps picking up the trail of a rampaging Megalodon is more your speed? Maybe you’d rather stick to what you know, smashing skeletons and finishing off Phantoms on a traditional Raid Voyage. Whichever route you take, a successful Voyage will see you sailing away with a tasty pile of loot that The Hunter’s Call will take off your hands.

It's not even the end of the world if you find your fishing line just isn’t getting any nibbles. The Hunter’s Call will happily accept any Treacherous Plunder you haul up while fishing – or ‘junk’, as normal pirates call it. Just don’t expect to become a millionaire by handing over soggy old boots.

I’m Nine-Cat Nura, writing to you from the Sea of Thieves. Why? I was promised a good amount of gold if I did, that’s why. Besides, the rest of my crew are ashore, handing in a couple of skulls to Madame Olive over at the—well, I’m getting ahead of myself.
