Halruaan magehound

Halruaan magehounds were the inquisitors of Halruaa who enforced its paramount magic laws and regulated the use of magic therein. They answered only to the Council of Elders.

"Justice? Is that what you think happens around here? I know the magehound who works the hold. He's an ugly little monkey of a man who holds a grudge against anyone better favored than he. One look at that handsome face of yours and he'll be howling for an Inquisition. If I were you, I wouldn't bet my future on the outcome."

- Tzigone of Khaerbaal

Culture
Magehounds were responsible for some of the most important tasks involved in the regulation of Halruaan magic laws. Among these were testing the Jordaini caste for magical abilities, and hunting down renegade or criminal magic users.

No wizards were beyond their authority or reach, including the Council who oversaw their actions. Because of this authority, magehounds lived a solitary and lonely lifestyle, being feared and shunned by their arcane brethren. Despite this, magehounds would keep some associates with complimentary skills to assist in their hunts.

Abilities
Magehounds honed their skills to attain increased sensitivity towards arcane magic and protect themselves from its effects.

The most powerful from among their ranks were capable of developing antimagic fields, in order to help them contain rogue spellcasters.
