The witch hunter catalog was a publication that emerged during the height of the European witch hunts in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. It served as a guide for witch hunters, providing them with information on identifying and persecuting those suspected of practicing witchcraft. The catalog typically included a list of signs and symptoms that were believed to indicate someone's involvement in witchcraft. These signs often included physical characteristics such as birthmarks, unusual scars, or extra nipples, as well as behavior such as having an affinity for animals or practicing herbal medicine. The catalog also provided descriptions of alleged witches' meetings and rituals, helping witch hunters to identify places where they believed occult activities took place. In addition to providing information on identifying witches, the catalog also offered guidance on the methods and techniques for interrogating and torturing suspected witches to extract confessions.
In addition to providing information on identifying witches, the catalog also offered guidance on the methods and techniques for interrogating and torturing suspected witches to extract confessions. It described various instruments of torture that could be used, such as the infamous "witch's bridle" or "scold's bridle," which was a metal contraption placed around the head to prevent the accused from speaking or screaming. The witch hunter catalog was a powerful tool that played a significant role in the mass hysteria and persecution of individuals accused of witchcraft during this period.

Dwellers of Signum choose to become monster hunters for various reasons. For some these reasons include fame and acknowledgment, for others – the sound of coins clinking in their purse. Conwenn gained his medallion with a grinning puma head on it when he was just a boy. He was a sole survivor from a small village, located in the very west of the Grypharim Empire, that was attacked by the undead of cursed baronies. Ludwig, the monster hunter, found him barely alive, walking by the road with bloodied pitchfork in hand.
“What happened, boy?” he asked. After the boy told him about the undead, Ludwig immediately went to the village and found no less than a hundred of them lying still on the ground with pitchfork wounds on them. He realized, that this boy has the makings of a great hunter and took him under his wing for training. Today, not only his extensive list of defeated enemies is a proof of his courage and skills, but also his gray hair, for the life of a hunter is a dangerous one and not many hunters live to see their hair turn gray. But he is still far from achieving his goal. To this day, he keeps seeking those who sent undead to his village.
TES IV defines the class as, "Swift on foot, and clever with spells, they use distance as their ally. Slower adversaries are fodder for their arrows."
It provided a standardized approach for witch hunters and fueled the belief in the existence of witches and their malevolent practices. However, it is important to note that the witch hunter catalog was based on superstition, paranoia, and ignorance. The criteria listed to identify witches were often unreliable and arbitrary, leading to the persecution and execution of innocent individuals. The use of torture to extract confessions further contributed to the miscarriage of justice and the suffering of innocent people. In conclusion, the witch hunter catalog was a publication that fueled the witch hunts of the late 16th and early 17th centuries. It provided witch hunters with information on identifying and persecuting suspected witches, but its content was rooted in superstition and led to the wrongful persecution of countless innocent individuals. The catalog serves as a grim reminder of the dangers of mass hysteria and the consequences of belief in the supernatural..

1. Emma - 2 stars - I was really excited to dive into the world of witch hunters when I picked up this catalog, but I was left feeling disappointed. The book was poorly organized and the information was scattered all over the place. It made it difficult to find what I was looking for and made the reading experience frustrating. Additionally, the content itself lacked depth and detail. I expected to learn about different types of witch hunters, their strategies, and the history behind their practices, but it felt like I was just scratching the surface. Overall, I found the Witch Hunter Catalog to be lacking in substance and it failed to meet my expectations.
2. Alex - 1 star - I have to say, the Witch Hunter Catalog was a huge letdown. Not only was the writing style dry and unengaging, but the information provided was often vague and repetitive. I was looking for a comprehensive guide to the world of witch hunters, but instead, I found myself browsing through pages of generic descriptions and cliché advice. The lack of in-depth content left me feeling like I wasted my time and money on this book.
