From the charter of the Sect of the Wild Hunt:

The contest between predator and prey is an ancient one: a competition of survival to see who is stronger and faster; who is more cunning. The hunt brings the predator - the hunter - closer to what they are: a single mortal striving to survive the odds set against them. The hunt is spiritual, and the hunter revels in the glory of the kill, the cunning needed to achieve their aims. Finding strength in a successful hunt, the hunter exults both in their skill and their continued survival.

The cult of the Wild Hunt is formed around these concepts - the glory and growth in strength that the hunt brings. The cult counts amongst their greatest foes those that would drive the forces of undeath and demons through this land, as well as spellcasters. All of these beings pose their own threats to the land, each of which must be extinguished in a glorious and bloody hunt. However, such a purpose does not render them single-minded: the cult hunts all manner of things, seeking in such an activity the blossoming of their own spirituality.
