Hedge Wizards

Hedge Wizards are wizards who are not members of a formally established order. They are forbidden from providing their services as magisters, and are subject to harsh sentences for misusing their powers by The Tempus Brand. (Since 805)

The Purges of 785-805
The Tempus Brand killed an estimated 15,000 hedge wizards during this time; many on trumped up charges (or for leaving the Arcanum in Lavarr). After the start of the Tarsaht-Commonwealth war, The Tempus Brand stopped the hunting of hedge wizards after The Commonwealth threatened invasion.
