Noble hunter



Noble hunters are male or female casteless dwarves who seek to improve their life and advance their social status in the rigidly defined caste system of Orzammar by seducing members of higher castes and siring children with them. Casteless dwarves live in the poverty and squalor of Orzammar's Dust Town ghetto and there are few opportunities for advancement beyond crime and becoming a noble hunter.

Noble hunters are in some ways the most educated and sophisticated of the casteless dwarves. Some casteless may set out to become noble hunters of their own accord out of sheer desperation but others, such as Rica from the Dwarf Commoner origin, are funded by a patron and thus educated and taught etiquette and other skills to make them attractive to higher-caste dwarves.

While casteless dwarves are disdained by the higher castes, noble hunters, paradoxically, are looked upon with respect by nobles, as they can provide new children and potential soldiers to higher caste Houses.
