Hearing the cries of anguish of the Salem witches,  Lilith and  Sara arrived to help them; magically transporting the **Abbey** from Transia along with them. They served as protection against Hiram Shaw and his dark magic. In time,  Agatha Harkness and Gregor Maar called this place home as well.

## Trivia

* The Abbey lacks a visible kitchen and bathroom that the player can access.
* A tree located in the Abbey grounds has the carving: *"LUKE W WAS HERE"*. The developers wanted to commemorate Luke Wiltshire, a fan from the UK, who died November 12th, 2021. The developers made it possible for him to play an early build of the game, long before release.
