HALLS OF THE BEAST-TAMERS
DM's background

Some six hundred years ago, when
Myth Drannor was a city of life and
splendor, certain of its citizens--
human, half-elven, and elven-- who
were interested in learning more of the
natural habits and pursuits of wild
creatures styled themselves "The Guild
of Naturalists." Their studies resulted in
much of what is now ranger-lore; they
traveled far in the Realms to observe
creatures in all lands, and when those
creatures easily studied had been dealt
with, they turned to more fearsome
beasts: the monsters of the Realms.
