Witch Hunters

Secret Police and mass executioners for the empire. Their Presence is strongest in Britania and the Former Eastern Kingdom. This organization is responsible for the deaths of millions of sorcerers and would be magic users. After the fall of the Eastern Kingdom they carried out a mass genocide of magic users in the area that this world has never seen to date. Today they torment the common folk for suspected disloyalty to the empire or for even having an accusation of witchcraft made against someone. For being accused of witchcraft in of itself is a death sentence. Someone who dislikes you could go as far to say that you are a Witch and this would send the Witch Hunters to your doorstep, you'd be lucky to survive the night. This is a cruel and ruthless organization that keeps the population in order through fear; The Empire's main weapon against uprising.
