Mage-Stalkers
The
Puritans
Followers of
Salar the Bereft
Dread Stalker: Zier Onthea, The Dark Puritan
The Mage-Stalkers hunt all of those
who possess magic, not
just the wizards of the realms. They are charged by Lord Salar to
eradicate the users of magic from the lands. Lord Salar's true love was
a stalker of his faith that met with a powerful wizard and failed her
mission, since that time all magic-users are considered enemies of
Salar. Only the Mage-Stalker's limited magical ability is allowed.
Diviners, necromancers and the bards are not targets of the
Puritans. Though should the magic of one of these be beyond the skill
of the specialist stalker, they may call in a mage-stalker as a
reinforcement. The Mage-Stalker Faith is further seperated by the
uncommon magicks.

The hunters of the
Druids are not the
domain of the Unholy, but are the targets of those who hunt

not

Bane, instead.

neutral and evil faiths are
targets of the Unholy. Those who are found worthy are placed in one of

with a price on their head.

of the Seer-Stalkers,
while the travelling Mystics are the targets of this Stalker Faith.

equally dynamic manner.

the Slayers. Both groups together seek to undo Marn's following in the
human lands.
