Ever since the 'Werewolf King' emerged in the territories of the Order, Knights of the Black roamed the countryside looking for him. However, they were not hunters entirely, but also recruiters, they had been told of the Werewolf King's attack on the prospective acolytes and understood his power. While they did roam around battle ready, they were under strict instructions to capture and bring before the High Priest of the Order. The men protected themselves in plate mail as well as crosses adorning their body to protect them from any evil spells the Werewolf King might have.
The leader of the hunting party, a giant of a man, known as Căpitanul Zelea, or Captain Zelea, was not so radical on the belief that he was a 'Werewolf', let alone a King. This did not make Zelea a sceptic when it came to his faith, but he was a sceptic when it came to the insane. What he saw was a man who did not react correctly to the potion of ascension that all acolytes must take, he saw a man who succumbed to his base urges and went completely and utterly insane. There was one choice in his mind, kill the false-King. His hunting party did not necessarily agree with his views, but he was the highest ranking Knight in the group and thus he had the final choice when they captured him. Of course, he would lie and say that they were unable to capture the Werewolf King, assuming his group followed his orders. However, this was useless unless they actually found the madman.
The first wave of exploration was into the countryside rural towns, they would always approach with the banner of the Black Order as well as torches. Each hunting party was around five knights strong who held swords and shields, with fifteen men-at-arms who were equipped with crossbows and spears. If people helped with the hunt for the Werewolf King, they were rewarded with extra parcels of food. If they lied to the hunting parties, the villagers would be taken back to the Monastery-Castle of the Order and readied for sacrifice.
The second wave of exploration would be in the larger towns and cities of the Order, asking the more occult and esoteric citizens if they had seen him. This party would be more nondescript, posing as hedge-knights and cultists, not the high ranking Knights that they actually were. They would be more relaxed with their investigation, even pretending to show support for the Werewolf King if that helped them find his location.
The last wave of exploration would be into the Dark Forest of Morudkai, the home of the Unseen. A group of radical cultists that even the Order wished to avoid. The stories say that they once made contact with Baphomet and the Archangel Michael which turned them insane, now they feast on flesh and kill any who enter their homes. This party would be lightly armoured cavalry, made to run in and out as quickly as possible, to not offend the Unseen.
