Winterernte

The Winterernte is an organization that was developed under the leadership of Rudel von Hahn and acts as an independent group adjacent to Luthen's military. This group has been described by some as Hahn's personal task force, with members of the group being documented as running research sites, heading expeditions, or acting as special operations soldiers.

However, there is some speculation as to a true, more malicious reason for the group's existence. The Winterernte, which translates to winter harvest in Luthish, is an organization founded with the purpose to tracking down and killing heroes before they can become a bother to the Nationalist Party and it's ambitions. Inside of the known Torosi world, there has been a long history of heroes appearing at the most inconvenient times possible for fledgling empires and seeding rebellions or going on small, highly disruptive campaigns against ruling powers. For this reason, it is said that the job of the Winterernte is to nip these flowers in the bud before they can bloom and shut down heroic resistance before it can begin to be a problem.
