The point about hope is that it is something that occurs in very dark moments. It is like a flame in the darkness; it isn’t like a confidence and a promise.
— John Berger
Keeping the Vigil is a choice. Nothing stops them from going home, locking the door, putting out the light, and pretending that all is right with the world. Billions of people do just that every day.
But the hunter lights their candle anyway. Whether out of compassion, hope, curiosity, anger, or boredom, they keep it lit. Moreover, their stubborn refusal to give the night to the darkness often serves to spread that flame to others.
Tending the Flame is a companion book to Hunter: The Vigil Second Edition, expanding on what’s in the core book.
It contains:
- Narrative and systems support to successfully hunt at Tier One, plus tips for navigating hunter society.
- Eight Compacts, including a mix of updated first edition favorites and exciting new groups to join.
- Eight Conspiracies, including an expanded version of Aegis Kai Doru, as well as several new hunter organizations.
- New Tactics and Endowments.
