Farland: Witch Slayer

The Witch Slayer has determined that magic and those who use it are what is wrong with the world. He spends his life learning defenses against magic, so that he can track and kill those who use magic in a way that he sees as wrong. In the beginning, the Order of Witch Slayers was founded by an ancient king of Kelerak to combat a coven of wizards who threatened his throne, but later Witch Slayers became more diverse-- some have stayed true to the original code of their order, to slay evil spellcasters, but others live a mercenary life, hunting and killing magic users for pay.
