Of course it's possible, but same could be said about sorcerers for exemple yet you have court mages in Whiterun, Riften, Markharth, Solitude, etc. There's even a college for that, even if it's not very popular among the inhabitants.

My point is, it's not because you have a power that you will abuse it and there are bad or mad people in every category of a population. I'm sure some people will freak out yes, but not everyone.

Something we should consider is their popularity, let's say Kodlak lived. I don't see someone like that being killed after a trial. Controlled yes, but not put to death.

@ a FANDOM user : Enlighten me, people : Since the Vigilant HQ is destroyed, can't we assume they lack power or numbers for something like that? Vigilant Tyranus and Vigilant Tolan the last ones ( and the two of them died pretty quickly), yes ? As for the Silver Hand in the end, we don't know a lot about them so it's difficult to say. If they are intelligent enough to infiltrate the city guard, maybe. I wonder how many they are.
