Majorly employed via the New Peaks government, vampire hunters are exployed to hunt and kill unlicensed vampires. Hunters are contracted but receive payment on a commisionary based schedule, giving them incentive to bring as many vampires to justice as possible. Many take up vampire hunting as a method to get rich fast, but some take the position due to strong biases against the species. Vampire hunters have full legal power to kill any vampire they come across with the exception of licensed vegans.

The Freepelt pack came into existence a little over 70 years ago after the disapation of their mother pack. Freepelt prides itself as having new age thinking on werewolf and human relations that is not seen anywhere else in the US. The freepelt pack can be found just outside of Worlfreach, although many members no longer live in camp, choosing to make home within the village. Although Freepelt is currently run by an exceptionally liberal alpha, allowing members to find work and life outside Freepelt, their loyalty should ultimately belong to the pack.

The Order of Alcentants is a monotheistic cult that planted its roots within what is now the village of Rotroost. Alcentants are devoted to the god Alcen, who takes form as a towering man with the head of a moose. Alcen is believed to be the god of rebirth and new beginnings and his followers will be reborn as royalty in the new world when Alcen emmerges from a great, fresh water spring. The Order traveled to Montana in search of this spring, believing it to be hidden away somewhere within the valley. Alcentants follow many strict traditions and beliefs, most notably that they must be laid to rest within a body of water after death.

The Order of Alcentants is most known within the valley for what is referred to as 'the slaughter'. The Order held a mass summoning of Alcen within the neighboring river, resulting in the mysterious drowning and death of over 30 people. Survivors will often claim that victims were dragged beneath the water by unseen forces, but most residents of the valley believe the event to be the result of mass hysteria. Following the slaughter, many remaining followers left The Order.

Those who remain followers of Alcen are extremely devout and believe the slaughter was Alcen reaping his people to be reborn. While not inherently dangerous, most avoid Alcentants and Rotroost altogether.
