Tracking Wiki

Gromhir, I immensely enjoy this wiki. I think you’re well suited to tracking :D
However, some minor modifications to structure might want to be made, most of these are just suggestions.
Spelling and Word Choice

Tracking is a skill used to follow a quarry or prey by following the tracks and markings they leave.

Cut the “a” in “a quarry”.

However, tracking does not remain in the realm of hunting animals, it can be applied to tracking humans and other sentient creatures though this tends to be almost impossible in cities such as Syliras.

However, tracking is not restricted to the realm of hunting animals, it can….

Learning the tracking skill teaches one a lot one’s self

Teaches one a lot about one’s self.

…indicated a creature has climbed it, these could be scarped or broken bark, broken…

Scraped*

erasing footprints however as they tend to be able to spot the ground shifted oddly.

Tend to be able to spot tampering
(Or a rephrasing of what you said, it needs to be modified though)

Other Stuff
Other than that it is good. A few of the sentences are a bit choppy and could be combined for fluidity.

Under Related Skills and Prerequisites, you need to tell people how those skills are related to tracking. Also, Interrogation seems less appropriate there than Intelligence.

Also, in the novice section, you should avoid telling us what the trackers will do, stick to telling us what they can do. It doesn’t seem prudent to say that a novice tracker will want a master, or they’ll be happy to find something to track, or etc..

Other than that, I think everything else has been said.
