As night crept over the planet Dathomir and the temperate air dropped to a subtle chill, one could see traces of the fabled Witches moving about the shadows of the forests and swamps. On this night, an eerie wisp of evil clung to every branch and reed as their small numbers began to congregate in the tunneled underground home of the infamous Spiderclan.
A coven had been called, a coven unlike any other since the days of Gethzerion. The Nightsister Clans met to decide on a union of all who followed the Book of Shadows. Here, tonight, a leader would be found. One who could make the Nighsisters both strong and whole again. Then with their new leader, a single Matriarch at the helm of all the Clans, they would rise up to take their prophesized glory among the heavens and bring the followers of the Book of Law to the true teaching of Allya! Yet, as the various Clan Mothers and Matriarchs entered, one lone sister sat above all others: Bloodraven.
Already, amongst the cobalt painted stone walls of the wide cavern, hundreds of Nightsisters stood encircling Bloodraven’s perch, gazing onwards at the demoness before them, ready to declare their loyalty. But their leader had not been decided just yet, deliberation still had to be made as was customary. Each sister putting themselves forth for consideration had to make their claims and promises while offering their power or wit as reason to rule. Yet none joined Bloodraven to stake their claim, a testament to the respect and power she commanded.
Despite this, the Matriarch sat there patiently as she waited for all sisters invited to arrive and join in the coven. As she sat, her large retinue of maleling slaves catered to her every need. Amongst the Nightsisters the number of slaves owned by a Mother or Matriarch was an indication of their power and position, and Bloodraven’s slaves numbered the combined amount of nearly every other Matriarch in attendance.
