The Beast-Rolls
The Cull's bounty registry in Coldbeck, listing fell-beasts for fear and control.
Posted publicly within the cold streets of Coldbeck, the Beast-Rolls serve as a grim bounty registry maintained by the Cull. This document explicitly lists various fell-beasts as targets for culling, transforming living creatures into official marks for elimination. Far more than a simple list, it functions as a potent tool of fear and control, dictating which beasts are hunted and reinforcing the authority of those who wield the blade.
The existence of these rolls has become a flashpoint in the ongoing struggle between Rowan's sanctuary and the Warden order. While the Cull uses them to justify their hunts, they stand as a direct threat to the safety of the creatures seeking refuge under Rowan's protection, making the Beast-Rolls central to the conflict that defines the current era.

Lore & Background
The Beast-Rolls represent the institutionalized cruelty of the Cull, reducing complex creatures to mere entries on a list for extermination. By posting these names in Coldbeck, the maintainers ensure that every citizen is aware of who—or what—is marked for death, fostering an atmosphere where fear becomes a mechanism of social control.
For Rowan's sanctuary, the rolls are a constant reminder of the danger posed by the Warden order. Every name added to the registry represents a potential loss for the sanctuary and a new challenge in their fight to protect fell-beasts from being culled, making this document the physical embodiment of their ideological clash.
