Military action
Sanctioned by the High Chancellor of the Mythika Priesthood, the Mythrian Empire wages holy war against the Beastfolk and their magic; seeking to eradicate and/or expel them from imperial territories.
During this time, knowledge, as well as the discussion, of magic was deemed heresy by the Priesthood. Any found in violation, or suspected of sympathising, were arrested and subjected to torture, and even execution. This saw many Pagan communities either disband or go into hiding, with some even fighting alongside the Beastfolk.
