- his hidden lair
It's not bad, but I kinda like the whole Fair Folk theme in the Wild Hunt considering.
- Avernites kinda have a blue and orange mentality going, these indoctrinated and raised from birth as the best possible killing machines probably only exacerbate that even by Avernite standards
- the 'wild' emphasizes the fact that each operative is independent and partially outside of the conventional Avernite chain of command, which is pretty robust to begin with.
- The nigh supernatural skill they have, which is in comparison to the already nigh supernatural skill of Avernite military units.
- The fact their equipment is far and away beyond anything outside of maybe the Fire Giants or Varangians and is outright nigh-magical when compared to a lot of our other stuff.
- It's just incredibly evocative, from the parallels of changelings with humans being abducted and indoctrinated by the Fae, to the notion of 'the Wild Hunt has been deployed and will have its prey hell or high water'
That and it finally breaks the awful naming convention Avernite has used so far. I swear to god if the next unit is Hel-whatever I'm going to cry.
I mean, these are people who from conception to grave have been trained and indoctrinated to fight and kill at our behest, whose very lives have been shaped as we saw fit, who competed and died for the mere privilege to be unleashed on our foes. It's a bit of a monstrous endeavor- and I've always been inclined to call a spade a spade.
And as for justifying the 'wild' adjective- what kind of human operates independently on Avernus of all places. Even if it's mostly in urban areas, for a culture as group oriented as Avernites, it definitely can be romanticized as 'wild'.
