Traditions

While all thaumaturgical traditions are available on Fate's Harvest, not all traditions are likely to have local practitioners.

Tradition		Details
Apostle of the Dark One		These tend to be stamped out when found. As an Apostle, thematically, for this area your kind are NOT popular. You are the dark rock stars with questionable religious practices. NPCs don't trust you, don't want you near their children and actively attempt to convert you to something else.
Ceremonial Magician		Very popular. Seldom anything but Western occult magic. An old master in the area will share learning and allow access to his library...if learners will ACCEPT him as their Master. He isn't the only practitioner, but he is one of the best. There are many Lefevre Ceremonial Magicians, but it is rare for them to take apprentices outside their own family, and in the local community, Lefevre training is a politely unspoken social coup.
Hedge Witch		Very popular. These are, arguably, more common even than Ceremonial Magicians. The storied Wildwitch of Eastbank was a Hedge Witch, which thaumaturges may well recognize based on the types of powers often ascribed to her. Thaumaturges of this tradition very often have generations of grannies behind them in the craft, not to mention much bickering with neighbors over whose version of a spell is most effective.
Shaman		While Tamarack Falls and Fort Brunsett do have a large number of Spirits, there aren't many local Shamans who can intercede for them. They do exist, however, and have historically been one of the least troublesome traditions here.
Taoist Alchemist		Culturally very Western as the area has been, there are no local NPC practitioners of this art. Players will be the first the area has seen.
Vodoun		Similarly waaaaay the wrong culture, there are also no local NPC practitioners of THIS art. This is not a craft which Vermont snuggles into its cold and wintry bosom.
