Hunting Fleet Eagle

Hunting Fleet Eagles are large birds of prey kept by the tribes of the Freljord, and above all by the Winter's Claw, who rely on them for scouting and for the hunt. They range across the mountain peaks and open skies of the frozen north, at home in a land where few creatures can survive. These eagles have adapted to the extreme cold of the Freljord with thick plumage that shields them against wind and ice, and with incredibly sharp talons suited to seizing prey. Soaring high above the frozen landscape, they can spot quarry from great distances and dive on it with lethal precision, which makes them formidable hunters in their own right and invaluable partners to those who train them. Freljordian hunters prize the bond they form with these raptors, a partnership that must be earned. In this the eagles embody the harsh, survival-focused culture of the Freljord, where every living thing, whether human or animal, must be strong enough to endure the cold. A bird that thrives in such a place makes a fitting companion for the people who share it.
