Witch Hunter

While this profession is accepted and appreciated in Anuire, Ryvun and Khinasi culture, it is something the Brecht and Vos people consider barbaric.    The Vos hunt the witch hunters for what they view as an unlawful murder of people whose only crime might have been helping people in a different way to a cleric or wizard.   The Brecht tend to stay out of it and keep the peace. Sometimes if they have evidence of crime involving the definition of witchcraft that these hunters hunt, they will actually request their help.
