Event
The Country Adjective Witchcraft Act
The increasing popular aversion towards witches and witchcraft has been increasingly brought to the attention of the court. Reports of witches' activities pile up in front of Target Ruler, requiring a prompt resolution. The reports are wide-ranging, from the seemingly harmless local healer accused of brewing potions to alleged demonic possessions. There is even a farmer who swears he got turned into a newt once but got better.
Proposals for a new act persecuting witches are increasing, and the Ruler Title has started also expressing his/her own opinion on the matter.

563historical_info = flavor_sco.10.historical_info The Scottish Witchcraft Act of 1563 made both practicing witchcraft and the fact of consulting with witches capital offenses. James VI played a major part in it through his role in the North Berwick witch trials, which were the first major series of trials under the new act. The King published a defense of witch-hunting in the 'Daemonologie' in 1597 but later became increasingly skeptical and took steps to limit prosecutions. Scotland tried an estimated 6,000 people for witchcraft, where seventy-five percent of the accused were women, and over 1,500 people were executed.
