The Rose Thorn Coven

The Rose Thorn Coven, a powerful collective of sorcerers and enchantresses, had humble beginnings in the village cemetery. As the war raged on, those left behind, the women and young boys, sought solace in the old ways of witchcraft. Fueled by their frustration with inactivity and a desire to support their soldiers, they began to embrace the ancient arts, casting spells to curse the invaders and aid their protectors. Their efforts proved crucial, for the village emerged victorious against all odds, though the soldiers remained unaware of their magical supporters. Over time, the coven's devotion to the old gods deepened, and the cemetery became a sacred ground, surrounded by the growth of crimson roses with the sharpest thorns. As the boys matured into men and the mothers into crones, the coven continued to meet, engaging in wild festivals and honing their craft. However, their powers grew so formidable that they could no longer be concealed. When finally discovered, the elder men feared them so that they attempted to punish the male witches and confine the female enchantresses, only to be met with the coven's fury.
