Banthi Caverns

Guild
You make your way into a dimly lit cave in a remote location far from any towns or villages. The dampness sinks into your layers of clothing as echoing droplets, whispering-low growls and the sound of shuffling feet can barely be heard from the depths of the cavern. You had heard rumor of strange and powerful beasts that live in the cave... and the few people who dwelled in the darkness to take care of them.
The nature of these beasts is true mystery. Some say they're possessed feral creatures abandoned and left to rot through for centuries in the chilly abyss, others say they are demons creeping upwards from the underworld to claim the lives of lost travelers. Some say that these creatures can be called from a life of imprisonment to serve humanity.
As you journey farther and farther into the cave, you can see several figures calmly lounging within the shadows. Torchlight reveals two women sitting at a long oak table, one of raven hair and the other of an oddly bright magenta. The dark haired woman turns to greet you as you wearily approach, leaning her elbows onto the table. "Well hello! I suppose you're here to try and tame one of these wild creatures for your own, eh? It will take one who is truly dedicated to calm and train such a beast as the Banthi." You nod slowly, pretty much everything the weird lady had uttered might as well have been in another language. Unsure of what you're getting yourself into, you consider turning tail and leaving this awful place of mysticism. Before you could make a decision, you're stopped just as the magenta haired woman turns. Digging into a pile of rubble and dust behind, she produces what appears to be a petrified limb, clawed talons digging into a dimly shimmering gem held firmly in place. "If you want one of these babies for yourself, you're gonna have to read the rules first." She gave an unsettling smirk and motioned her hand in a shooing gesture, tossing an extremely large, dusty and worn book onto the table. "You still here? Get reading!"
