The Old World - Grim and Perilous Beta v3

Witch Hunter
Witch Hunters are grim, cold individuals who have dedicated their life to eradicating
corruption wherever it may be. Most witch hunters are the state-issued Templars of the
Cult of Sigmar. However, there is a wide variety of others, from the Colleges’ Magisters
Vigilant to local mercenaries hired out to a nobleman’s service. What they all have in
common however is their dedication and zeal against all things tainted and impure.
All ordinary citizens agree that witch hunters are necessary and the work they do is
crucial to the safety of the Old World, but there are very few who do not feel a flush of
fear when they see a figure wearing the familiar wide-brimmed hat, a buckled tunic,
and a long black cloak...
