(OC locations) Huntsman houses.

When the huntsman system was first introduced, huntsmen soon noticed that they needed to move to find work when missions ran short during stable periods, and many hotel owners were hesitant to offer rooms because huntsmen gained a reputation as troublemakers and rowdy customers in certain kingdoms. Yet as some people started giving services to huntsmen as preferred customers, word quickly got around, and huntsmen travelled to these locations, becoming preferred places for them to gather.

These places became known as Huntsman houses and are still called as such by many to this day.

Houses provide housing, often having a place to train for huntsmen who are away from the academies, while also serving food and drink to help cover their maintenance. Also, in smaller towns, houses serve as places where people who need a huntsman leave their missions.

Well-established and richer houses developed over time into companies that set up around big roads and all over the kingdom, like Green Dragons in Mistral that operates near the railroads with its main rival being Brown Caultron, which has set up on key parts of the railroad and Rowdy Ducks in Vacuo that has set up fortified roadside inns around one of the biggest roads in the kingdom to the coast to profit from the kingdom convoys while giving safe locations to snoze.

Every house is usually big enough for 2 teams to remain comfortably, while bigger ones can house several teams plus several normal people who live there, many having dedicated rooms for huntman teams.

In houses set up along roads and rails, many huntsmen can find regular employment as security for buses and trains, even as bouncers or security guards for the building, while, on occasion, helping travellers in more hostile times and territories.

These days, every city and town that has survived holds at least one Huntsman House, and many new companies trace their origin to newly set-up towns.

Because of these houses, many huntsmen feel the need to stay in one location or kingdom permanently while maintaining their independence.
