[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 3397880, member: 2209"] Ptolus had an arcane witch hunt in its timeline with paladins burning wizards at the stake. I moved my Ptolus campaign towards reviving that scenario, and added some history to have it make more sense. Demon pact making wizards, many who use misdirection spells to avoid detecting as evil is a good start. Have them be a major force in the wizards guild. The LG church/government finds out about it and takes steps to investigate. The wizards protest and refuse to submit to testing. Many wizards feel it is a politically motivated witch hunt and they are being set up as villains so they don't want to submit to testing. Some who get tested thought they could fake it and end up spectacularly killing their church testers when their evil is revealed. Hidden war starts with the demon pacters assaulting the church with summoned demons and the Guild denying it is their members doing it. The church responds with extreme prejudice against all arcane casters and gets arcane magic outlawed in general except under strict Church control. The wizards who refuse to submit are considered extremely dangerous threats and are burned before they can call in their demonic allies. [/QUOTE]
