The **Tlanta Coven** were a group of witches that lived and operated in the Southeastern United States 1,000 years ago, until they were disbanded in 1002, when the leader of their coven, Cassandra Tlanta was killed.

The coven was inactive, for centuries, but few members of the coven, and descendants of Cassandra survived, and activated the coven again in the early 20th century, and were based between New Orleans, and Long Island. It's current leader, and the daughter of the previous leader is Danae Tlanta, who commands her immortal witches, and mortal witches that are descended from her mother and other members of her family. Her son, Conri, leads his own coven, which he refers to as a pack, with an alpha werewolf, and his own witches. He is also a member of the coven, but spends most of his time with his own pack, rather than his mother's coven itself.

## History

The coven's origins are unknown, though it has been told by Cassandra and Danae that they had roots in Norway and Finland before coming to the New World nearly four centuries before Cassandra ascended to the role of Regent. When they arrived to the New World, they worked hard to make the place a land where they could draw their energy and grow stronger, as strong as they'd been in the Old World, before they came across a pack of werewolves, and made an alliance, protecting the ground that the pack walked on, and in exchange, they had the protection of the wolves from other threats, such as other covens, and other packs that wanted something other than peace. The coven and the pack lived in harmony for centuries, eventually settling near the shore of what would become Virginia, and were divided between the forests, where a senior member of the coven (Usually the Regent) lived, and placed powerful wards in the forest surrounding the cabin, so that the wolves and witches would be against crossing during the days leading up to the full moon, and after. Their alliance was powerful enough to the point that they shared power, but would not cross each other often.

Centuries later, young Cassandra fell in love with a higher up member of the pack, Lucius Tlanta, and they carried on their affair for a few years, before Lucius asked his uncle, who was the Alpha of the pack at the time, for permission to court Cassandra, who in turn asked her parents, the leaders of the coven. They were granted permission, and married the next spring. Their union was able to bring the pack and coven closer together, before more witches and humans started learning about the land where nobody was sick and wounded in the Old World, where the Plague was ravaging the land, and wanted to come to a land where everyone was healthy and alive.

Over the next 20 years, more and more humans came to the village, and during this time, Cassandra and Lucius had a daughter, Danae. She was the first witch in the coven, who was born of a werewolf bloodline, and carried the gene, making her a unique hybrid that was able to perform magic before her werewolf genes started driving her to make her first kill, and transform on the full moon for the first time. Danae later fell in love with a witch from a Viking family that came from the Old World, and they carried on their affair until 1001, when Danae killed her lover's brother during a full moon, and doomed her coven and family to death at the hands of her lover's Viking father, who convinced his witch wife to turn their children into vampires, before killing most of the coven unprovoked, including Cassandra, her siblings, aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Danae was the only survivor of her coven until she gave birth to her son in 1101, and they were the only members of the coven until Danae started finding people across the world with her familial scent as she was turning witches and werewolves immortal, and started tracking each one even if they weren't werewolves or witches, making sure she knew who was left. At the beginning of the 20th century, Danae began the coven again, when a large number of her descendants came into their witch powers, and gathered them on the East Coast, all across the coastline until she decided to use some of the multiple safe houses across the country as the coven grew larger over the years, and Danae had multiple safe wards put on the homes.
