The Hunting Guild traces its origins back to the late 17th century, where it began as an exclusive hunting party of the Imperator and his guests of the aristocracy. These expeditions, often held in foreign lands or estates owned by the Imperator, not only offered a retreat from the burgeoning urbanity of Venceia and other prominent cities - which were perceived as becoming increasingly diluted in their exclusivity and opulence - but also evolved to mix leisure with strategic alliance-building. The expeditions became a way to foster private discourse and networking among the elite, as well as provide rare intimate access to the Imperator. Over time, the Hunting Guild evolved into a comprehensive socio-political institution.

The Hunting Guild holds significant authority and responsibility in the management and regulation of hunting activities within Caphiria and its territories. It offers training and educational resources to hunters, emphasizing the importance of ethical practices, wildlife conservation, and respect for natural ecosystems. The Guild's published code of ethics underscores a commitment to sustainable hunting, mandating compliance with game laws, fostering a positive impact on wildlife, and supporting the conservation efforts of game and fish officers. Moreover, the Hunting Guild plays a crucial role in big game management, implementing strategies to ensure the health and viability of wildlife populations. In addition to its conservation and regulatory functions, the Guild actively preserves and celebrates the heritage of hunting and angling in Caphiria. It organizes competitions and events that not only showcase the skills and traditions of hunting but also strengthen the community of hunters and anglers. These events serve as a platform for sharing knowledge, experiences, and fostering a collective identity among enthusiasts. The hunting grounds were initially given to the guild by the Imperator, and have since been supplemented by exclusive hunting rights negotiated with foreign powers, alongside direct acquisitions by the guild itself. Consequently, the Hunting Guild plays an important role in Caphiria's diplomacy. Today, the Hunting Guild oversees an expansive and prestigious network of hunting territories, domestically and internationally, providing its members with access to a variety of prestigious and ecologically rich hunting experiences. Members of the Guild are granted access to these territories through a system that emphasizes fairness, conservation, and the promotion of hunting excellence. Hunts are organized with precision, respecting local regulations and customs, and are often accompanied by cultural exchanges and celebrations that enrich the experience. The territories also serve as living laboratories for ecological study and conservation efforts, contributing to the Guild's mission of sustainable interaction with the natural world.
