You'd be right about that. [Though 'cunning' might not have been the word she'd have chosen. Too flattering.] They did not rely on strength for they knew they would not stand a chance. Instead they relied on abducting mages and torturing them.
The surest way to find them is to look for any display, big or small, of hatred against mages or magic in general. It can be an artwork on a wall, a propaganda leaflet,... What made the Hands of Decay so difficult to find is that they hide in plain sight and that they always find citizens who support their ideals or share their fears.
This is why I try to focus on increasing the collaboration between mages and non mages rather than solely hunting down the Hands of Decay. But I agree we should still keep an eye out for any increase of crimes or segregation against mages. ...Segregation against any group, actually.
I remember you mentioned the Serthis before. Would you mind telling me more about them and how your Clan used to deal with them?
