Hexers
Branch Purpose: Hunt the Rift’s threats early—track, confirm, and end them before they become a war.
Branch Authority Notes: Hexers can establish temporary exclusion zones, redirect patrols to pursue confirmed trails, and requisition local guides/provisions under writ. They do not overrule containment vetoes.
Mandate: Detect Rift threats before they mature and destroy them while they are still small enough to end.
Operating Style: Hexers live on the road and in the wild margins—patrol circuits, long watches, and quiet infiltration into bad ground. They prioritize evidence, speed, and clean exits: find the trail, confirm the target, cut it out, and leave a map behind for the next team.
Jurisdiction & Authority: Hexers can establish temporary exclusion zones, requisition local guides and provisions under writ, and override routine patrol orders to pursue confirmed Rift trails. Their authority ends when containment risk triggers a Mage veto or when a perimeter requires Warrior control.
Typical Members: Trackers, scouts, skirmishers, and survivors who can operate alone without losing discipline; temperament tends toward taciturn, independent, and impatient with delay. Outsider Contact: Most folk meet them as grim roadwardens, sudden interrogators after an attack, or the quiet “hunter with a seal” who asks to see your hands and your cellar.
Signature Work:

Signature Work:
- Mapping thin places, breach-belts, and early anomaly patterns.
- Tracking Riftspawn leaders, cult couriers, and tainted beasts.
- Executing “quiet removals” before panic or politics can interfere.
