Falconer
Falconry is an old and well-respected profession in some nations of Areast. Despite the name of the field, many types of birds of prey are trained including hawks, eagles, kestrels, gyrfalcons, and even the rare great owls of northern Areast. The vast majority of falconry is performed for hunting and sport, but some have found military applications for the birds.
