==Overview==
The wild hunts Beastmasters stage in the [[Wych Cult]] arenas remain a popular favourite of the crowds. Although the Beastmasters are part of the [[Wych Cults]]cults, they keep themselves distant from the Wyches and are also predominantly male, unlike the mostly female Wyches.{{Fn|1}}
Some suspect that Beastmasters have roots in shamanic traditions, as when entering battle they adorn themselves in totems and masks that echo the beasts under their control. In fact, their masks contain complex sonic emitters and pheromone traps that can partially control the beasts, although all Beastmasters, even unmasked, have a natural ability to dominate lower creatures.{{Fn|1}}
