"The
men and women of the nomadic Kirooki tribe shadow the migration of the
Great Plains buffalo and worship the same gods found in the Glorious
Soaring temples to the mountainous east. Amongst these resilient nomads is one of the more interesting denizens of the northern Great Plains, a
rare artisan amongst falconers, the Eagle Hunter. These hunters, when
paired with the great Golden Eagles of the north are a proud sight to
behold. Who knew anyone would have the deft or skill to tame such a
majestic creature? In their natural habitat the Golden Eagle feeds on
birds, owls and vermin but when paired with the right hunter they can be trained to take down fox, wolf and even bear! The
training of these birds is as much an art as it is a skill. Caught when
young, the eagles are hand fed, massaged, groomed, bonded, taught to
hunt, and after 6 seasons released back to the wild. Releasing the
Golden Eagle back to the heavens is done with honor and reverence and as
such, closes an important chapter in the life of a Kirooki Eagle
Hunter." - Chapters of the North, Volume IV - Mahotsukai Hoohige
