The Coven

[Jumpy]

I guess you think you know this story.
You don't. The real one's much more gory.
The phony one, the one you know,
Was cooked up years and years ago,
And made to sound all soft and sappy
Just to keep the children happy.
Mind you, they got the first bit right...

Travelers should be wary.

The Dreadwoods. Silent. Eerie. The March of the Damned stands as an exception to it, claiming the life of the Eternal Supreme Jianyu Xi. The nineteenth century began with a silence, followed by hushed whispers and mad cackles culminating into the attempted destruction of the Twilight Coven.

And yet it lives.

The woods are still cursed. Many enter yet few ever leave. Those who do are said to be afflicted by curses and madness alike, their minds warped in manners untold.
There remains a warlock there, rumors say. Perhaps even a coven: A gathering of witches who practice in unexplainable, forbidden magics and worship to Hel'heim and the Dark Lord.

At least that's how the tale goes.

How far would you go for the truth?
What are you willing to sacrifice for it?
