Witches

**Witches** are supernatural beings gifted with the power to affect change by magical means. The male counterpart of a witch is a Warlock. When a witch or warlock uses magic, their pupils usually glow yellow or orange.

## Origins

At the dawn of time, witches ruled the Earth. Among the most terrible and powerful, The Witch Lords were willing to bring total destruction but were hampered. When Dark Magic was fought and banished, The Witch Council took command, imposing strict rules of conduct, and binding the witches' powers to avoid further witches to pursue evil plans of the Witch Lords.

## Covens

Witches and warlocks form covens. According to axeandcross.com, modern witches walk among men in every city across the globe. Stripped of their most vital enchantments by the Witch Council and yielding to earthy vice, they appear indistinguishable from humans. Some circulate only among their own kind, indulging in authorized white magic. Some believe their powers to be beyond judgment and abuse dark magic openly. Among these lawless covens lurk the Servants of the Six, the Witch Lords’ dogs and disciples.

### Witch Prison

The Witch Prison is an underground prison used for the incarceration of every criminal witch and warlock brought to justice by the Axe and Cross order and punished by the Witch Council for breaking the law and for violating the peaceful truce between humans and witches.

## Dreamwalkers

A subsection of witches known as Dreamwalkers are able to enter a person's mind and pry out a person's most precious memories. They don't need memory potions, the power is inside of them. The Dreamwalkers were once the Witch Queen's most deadliest assassins and once they entered a person's mind, they pried out a person's most precious memories and twisted them into their worst nightmares.
