 Witch
You embark on a mystical pact with a coven of fellow witches, a covenant that bestows
upon you formidable power. Your character possesses the unique ability to choose her
path of worship, aligning with one of four potent forces: the ethereal Moon, the verdant
embrace of the Green Woods, the primal connection with Beasts, or the enigmatic realm
of Death. However, the stakes are high – as a member, deviation from the coven's strict
guidelines threatens not only ostracism and the severance of your magical connection
but also the ominous specter of being hunted down and mercilessly extinguished.
Obligation looms in the air, and when your coven beckons, your services are demanded
without exception, for ignoring such summons could bring dire consequences.
