Witch Hunts

Were you looking for info about the Wild Hunt?

The Witch Hunts were a series of purges that nearly brought about the end of the witches.

History

Occurring in the 17th century during the Middle Ages, humans enacted hunts in retaliation towards the witches. While the actual event in the real world was the result of superstitious people, it is implied by the Earl of Hanbridge that witches may have used their powers to terrorize the locals. It's unclear how much it affected wizards, however.

Even Luna Nova wasn't safe from witch hunts, as a significant portion of the building's early iteration was burnt to the ground in the 1800s by an unidentified group of witch hunters and subsequently momentarily closed down until it was eventually reopened by Jennifer the Witch who rebuilt it once Golden Age of Magic began.

After the Witch Hunting ends, witches manage to build a new reputation by helping lead the progress of human civilization during the Golden Age of Magic.

Parade

Eventually, the tradition of witch-hunting became a more peaceful parade to reproduce some aspects of the history of witch-hunting.
