Because witch hunts by their very nature are based on paranoia, irrationality, ignorance, and generally keeping women from getting too much respect. In real life anyway.

Just burn them and get it over with


Not being the usual evil witch hunter is nice and all but it's to much work to much red tape and way to much retarded potatoe farmers wanting some land

Burn the villagers and the accused witches. After all, if they've been around long enough to form a coven, there was obvious collusion. Maybe they'll recant when being tied to the stake. Heretics tend to do such things.

And hilariously, despite all the misunderstandings to the contrary, the Church frequently intervened to stop witch hunts. They'd catch wind of it and send a priest to go tell the peasantry to stop being so utterly retarded. A noble sentiment, but peasants gonna peasant.

That was one thing I liked about Victor Saltzpyre in Vermintide. He's a class A dick, but always does his duty.

He deliberately intervened in one case to make sure a Bright Wizard, who was blatantly guilty of arson and manslaughter, didn't get lynched out of hand and instead got a fair trial.
He also hired on a bodyguard he didn't need because he got refused leave despite seeing his regiment wiped out in front of him.

Some of the item descriptions implying he nicked a load of weapons for Skaven killing were also gold.

Flat out historically inaccurate.
I dont blame you tho i know that we are all taught this garbage when we are in high school and its only taught this way because the poor teacher has to cram so much into the curriculum.

Im a history major at my university and actually just finished a 13 (yeah i know creeepy) page paper on the inquisition and how inquisitions conducted their investigations. Luckily for us inquisitioners were often some of the most intelligent men in their given countries and despite the portrayal of them in popular culture, the process of condemning a witch or warlock was actually very extensive and as an extra bonus the majority of "witch hunters" kept diaries or logbooks of each trial and the evidence which is publicly available. The inquisitions also didnt kill as many people as you may have thought - they were held in like 8 countries and over hundreds of years yet the total death count is estimated to be somewhere around 2000. To put this into perspective this is equal to the 1st year in iraq alone.
