I apologize if this post isn't on topic, I feel it is though somewhat. Also i didn't wanna make a whole new topic just to ask this question.
In a post on the Fb group it was disclosed to me that many in the Coryani Legions are common folk who joined out of need for money, patriotic fervor, or a host of other reasons. However as was also stated many common folk fear the arcane so much they are willing to "drop a dime" on casters to the harvesters many spies. Also, as was stated, some if not all members of the legions who serve with casters take a "our heretic" view of them.
So in 5E, my Dark-Kin is a Former Legionnaire of Legio Anguis Reptatus. I was told that this legion has a fair number of casters in it. So would it be unreasonable for me to draw on this for a more concrete reason on why my character is willing to work with arcane casters despite his commoner status? For obvious reasons, as a PC I'm obviously going to work with whoever is at my table. Still I desire a somewhat in game reasoning.
I think you misunderstand the way the harvesters do their work..
yes they do have some paid informants.. many in every city, willing to sacrifice people they don't care about for some extra coin...
but people also talk, inns, taverns, and around Tabernas (shops)
Code:
"did you see that fight last night, there was a huge blast of fire, people are saying they heard it all the way across town!"
"Ya, ya, ya.... momma domain said she saw the entire thing, she said it was a gnome.. twisted fellow.. raving his hands in the air... I hear he also called something from the hells to fight off a group of armed men!!"
all the while the shop keeper keeps a keen ear and takes note....
It's not that everyone will sell you down the river..
but people talk.. and when something fantastic happens.. they talk a lot.
all someone has to do is listen.
