Witches are strange casters serving the Pagan Cult of Miecara and his ascended children, including The Warlock King, The Raven Queen, The Elk King, The One who Sleeps, The Idle Heart, The Queen of Crows, The Queen of Harts, The Lady Lamb, The Endless Pyre, The Mistress Mouse, Brother Dearest, and The Forgotten One. Witches are powerful casters capturing conceptual beings, normally Demons, and binding them into their bodies to fuel their magic. The rituals created by Miecara, the Warlock King, and the Raven Queen are kept secret within the Coven. Witches cast their magic primarily outward, enhancing their bodies with demonic presence as well. 

Witchcraft primarily draws upon the power of captured Concepts, mainly demons, as well as other outsiders. They draw elements of the Outsider elementally, conceptually, and ideologically, partially enhancing their bodies. Witches are empowered by Presence, primarily focusing on improving their beauty, terror, command, disgust, or general gravitas. The effect their appearance has on others bolsters or diminishes their magic on the observer. Witches also rely on a blend of alchemy, herbology, symbology, chemistry, science, and theology to bolster, augment, and call upon symbolic, theological, or culturally amplified views of plants, minerals, animals, and objects. Witches do not age and only scar from injuries from magic or iron.  

Witches are highly ordered, segmented into Covens, Orders, Services, and many form smaller coven groups with personal hierarchies. The primary order of Witches is as follows. 

Miecara – The Pagan God Miecara. 

The Warlock King and The Raven Queen – Pagan Gods of the Covens. 

The Coven Gods – The Elk King, The One who Sleeps, The Idle Heart, The Queen of Crows, The Queen of Harts, Lady Lamb, The Endless Pyre, Mistress Mouse, Brother Dearest, and The Forgotten One. They lead a main Coven. 

Coven Mother – Supreme Witches leading a faction, Service, or Order. 

Coven Matron – High Witches Serving as leaders, lieutenants of Coven Mothers, and as masters of their craft. 

Witchguard – Elite Witches trained to serve as the personal guard of Coven Gods, Mothers, and Matrons.  

Coven Sisters – Witches serving a variety of roles in the Coven. 

Coven Daughters – Freshly trained witches who haven’t gained the trust to act on their own.  

Hopefuls – Those born with witch blood and seek to learn the ways of the Coven. 

The Orders are internal organizations often based on the Demons acquired, while each Coven focuses on drawing on specific demons; they do not rely exclusively on a single source. Orders usually form around combining the powers from different Sins and what works best together. 

The Services are interior groups of Witches serving a specific cause, including Alchemists, Acquisitions, Coven Theology, Maternity, Martial, Hexcraft, Espionage, and Politics.
