Elf Hunters of Valinport

Synopsis

An inquisition born of fear and sharpened into terror, the Elf Hunters claim to protect Valin—by burning its future alive.

What People Know

The Elf Hunters are an officially sanctioned inquisition, formed by direct order of King Richmond the XI. Their original mandate was simple and brutal: hunt down and kill every elf within the Kingdom of Valin.

That mandate has since expanded. Today, any non-clerical magic user may be investigated, detained, or executed. The streets whisper that the Hunters now spend more time chasing spellcasters than guarding the realm—leaving Valin increasingly exposed to very real threats.

They are feared, obeyed, and rarely questioned.

Goals

Public

  • Protect the people of Valin from the “evils of magic”

  • Prevent elven influence from ever returning

  • Maintain security through vigilance and decisive action

Private

  • Eliminate all independent magic within the Kingdom

  • Consolidate power until no force rivals the inquisition

  • Rule through terror disguised as justice

Methods

  • Public arrests and executions

  • Informant networks and forced denunciations

  • Confiscation of texts, relics, and arcane tools

  • Collective punishment for suspected harboring

Fear is not a side effect.

It is the point.

Headquarters

  • The Blacktower – Prison, interrogation center, and operational command

Key Members

Values

  • Justice (as defined by decree)

  • Security through elimination

Anathema

  • Harboring those who use magic

  • Using magic without royal sanction

    (In that order.)

Mercy is considered complicity.

Reputation

Among loyalists, the Elf Hunters are necessary.

Among common folk, they are terrifying.

Among scholars and soldiers, they are quietly blamed for Valin’s growing weakness.
