Witch hunters

[Pestilence]

Quick Info:From what I have learned from websites with info on the forgotten realms, there are many people who hunt demons. There are those who would say they are thirsty for something. Witch hunters are people who hunt down these beings and slay them. Be it by burning them or by cleansing the demons themselves. I am thinking of an idea of a group of them.

The faction itself: The faction would go on many ventures to track down and slay demons, cause bonfires and burn the dark creatures that associate with the fowl demonicy and such. I think that it would be an interesting thing to do. Of course, some of the other factions would associate or rebel against the philosophy of them. Some even call them heretics.

Preferred Alignment: Alignment would be most likely lawful. As it says in the alignments, chaotic is sometimes called demonic to some. I'd say LN, LE, LG, N, and NG would fit as alignments. If making a Lawful character for this, they must be extremely Lawful. They are members of order and destroy the demons through Law.

Class restriction: Quick class to restrict is sorceror. Witch hunters often think sorcery is related to demonicy and would most likely cut their hands off and burn them.

Preferred Deity: Azuth, Tyr, Torm, and Kelemvor are my first thought.
 
Azuth: As told, a sect if Azuthians believe that Magic only exists by those who learn it on their own. They wish to show lawfulty to a demons wild magic ( also sorcery). They are trained as wizards and will slay a sorceror to prevent their wild magic. They serve as wizard witch hunters.

Tyr: Being the lord of justice, people who worship Tyr as a witch hunter they feel as Justice and law must be delivered to the powers of chaos of demonicy. People who worship Tyr as witchhunters are usually extremely Lawful and want to persue justice to those who associate with demons.

Kelemvor: Some demons and undead are close together. Like how a worshipper of Orcus praise the undead. Kelemvorites of witch huntery want to see all association with demon and undead destroyed. Simple as that.

Torm: People of the Loyal fury show loyalty and honor their duty as a witch hunter. They seek to serve as loyal warriors to their divine lord and will do what they must to please him. They are dutiful to slaying demons and will do what they must to do so.

Those who want to add things onto this, make a correction, join this, or comment in how freaking cool this is, make a post.

Only chaotic evil is called demonic, not all the chaotic alignements.

One of the main things to consider when starting a faction is to have objectives that are realizable.
 
The problem with a demon-hunting faction is that, well, afaik there are no demons in EFUA :P Even the imps in the observatory quest are devils, not demons, unless when you say "demons" you include also devils and all that kind of stuff. So your faction would basically have nothing to do but sit all day and talk about how much they want to kill demons and how bad they are.
 
I believe a better idea would be a faction that is opposed to magic. This would open a whole lot of possibilities. This would be a rather fanatical group that believes magic is the source of many of the world's ills (an example being what the ziggurat does), and as such every arcane spellcaster should be eliminated. Just an idea.

A good idea, but wizards/sorcs happen to be the easiest possible classes to gank, so this would lead us with even fewer mages than usual, either from death or concealing their power.
That idea came up here and got a mixed reception:http://www.escapefromunderdark.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21782

My suggestion would be a group hunting *anything* evil/monstrous/unnatural. Demons, devils, werewolves, shambling mounds, undead. Attract yourself some Rangers with Favoured Enemy as some of those, and literally track them down and kill them. That gives you a lot of targets and more to do than just "destroy all demons/destroy all mages".

The server has a lot of mysteries and plots tied to undead and werewolves, and setting your self up against those gets you right into that. You could try and secure a silver supply, detail scholars to Nightriser research, attempt to capture undead/wererats to interrogate, try and find how the Nightrisers teleport in for server invasions and so on. Recruit PCs and train them IC for a foe while persuading them OOC to take Ranger for FE: Undead or whatever.

Well. Since I named the thread Witch Hunters, they would hunt more than just demons. They would try to destroy Demons, undead, were people, and other dark creatures.
