In reality, they contributed heavily to the causes of the Great War, and while they endure, they have fallen only farther and farther into corruption. Most of the power is concentrated into a few ancient, powerful families, though a growing resistance to their power has begun to form in recent decades.

			===Witchers===
			The Kingdom of Lyne is known as a place where "witchers" or "monster-hunters" are common. They are known to be trained at [[Kaer Morhen]], north of Lyne and overlooking the [[Great Lake of Telliosan]]. They are viewed with great skepticism within Lyne and, by virtue of the "dirty jobs" they tend to do and Lyne's questionable reputation abroad, may often be viewed with unease even in more magic-friendly kingdoms. Most notably, they are often called upon to hunt the deadly [[owrgs]] that so often threaten to overrun Lyne.
