Animal tamers will often go out of their way to discover new and exotic beasts to study. Some creatures even get added to their collection. Tamers report that they feel they are “born with the gift” and able to tame all sorts of creatures, large or small.
It is not unusual to find an animal tamer scouring through the pages of Larx Pokenpop's book, Encyclopedia of Animagical Kinship. The book often aids the animal trainer in proper training techniques.
Hound, Hell: A mystical beast with soulless eyes and fur of flames. Summoned by burning immortal flesh with a splash of innocent blood. If safety is a concern, summon to a place very cold. The hellhound has never been tamed. - Festival of Heroes (GS-ADV1)
Feeling a bit nervous, you have joined up with the Heroes Guild. As you set out on your journey, you have your eyes set one one thing: taming the wildest of all beasts. The hellhound! Taming one would surely guarantee that you are remembered as one of the greatest tamers of all time.
Hearing screams from the main boulevard, you race towards what very well could be waiting danger. You witness a beast savagely clawing through the crowd. The Immortal Knight is thrown from her horse. It's a Werewolf!
The horse races into a nearby alley. Your instincts cause you to follow. You calmly approach the frightened animal. Using a soothing voice, you are able to get closer and grab the reigns of the horse. You return him to the Immortal Knight as she sends would-be heroes off on their quest to find the Werewolf.
Upon entering the catacombs of Azema, you encounter a horde of zombies. You discover that with great concentration and the correct spell, you might be able to control the horde.
Following the encounter, you explore the catacombs further and are drawn to remnants of undying flesh hanging from Azema's bones. One of the requirements from Larx Pokenpop's summoning spell to tame a hellhound!
In either case, you find yourself one step closer to taming the famed hellhound.
Innocent blood, the next ingredient needed, is found in Laz'arax's hive. An unattended hatchling is within your reach. All that is needed is a vile of its blood.
You must travel someplace cold to safely summon your quarry. - The Hive (GS-ADV3)
You spy a lone, dead dry tree in Morningside Meadow. This seems odd as life blooms all around the tree. If your character is equipped with a splitting maul, you decide to chop the tree down.
A creature emerges from the tree and escapes into the tall grasses. Left behind, you find several foul-smelling gobs, squirming in the muck and blood.
You meet Hazan while visiting Hornhelm. She has many familiars for sale and you gladly purchase a new one.
Depending on previous encounters, you may have met her brother, Bogli. Sharing his story with her causes her to release the animals on her cart. You manage to capture one and add it to your menagerie of creatures.
The Heroes Guild finally makes their way to the Frozen Expanse providing you the perfect setting to summon the hellhound. You throw Azema's flesh into the fire that you have created.
Your choices will determine if you truly are a master animal tamer or not.
