The Coven of Moonfall has a long, guarded history as aides to the Demons of Atrellya, acting as advisors and communicating directly with humanity on behalf of their masters. Powerful witches and warlocks are respected and rank higher than many Demons. Their witchcraft specializes in Demonology in particular.

A scarlet crescent moon adorns the front. The contents of this tome may only be accessed by a blood descendant of the Moonfall Coven, or one who has been inducted by a Witch or Warlock directly, signing their name and blood in soul and thus binding them to the cursed pact of witchery.

The writings begin with a history lesson. It details the role the Coven has played in the course of humanity, from ushering in a legion of demons that eventually led to the end of the great Petrakis Monarchy of Esshar, to the travels in Atreylla and the collaboration with the one who would eventually become the Demon King. In the writings his identity is not directly revealed, but he is sometimes referred to as the 'Abyssal Dragon', capable of destroying entire countries, a collector of the deep lores and knowledge of the world.

The Moonfall Coven work hand in hand with the Demon King, but few Witches have direct contact. They also serve the three Noble Demon Clans: The Wolf, Serpent, and Spider. Their influence reaches well beyond Atrellya, into neighboring small countries and villages. The bloodlines are a millenia of selective breeding, evolution and cultivation of the finest qualities of a Demon. They are, in the eyes of the Moonfall Coven, 'at the top of the food chain' and 'rightful masters of the world'. Long-lived, relentless, and selfish in their pursuit of advancement. The Demon King is written of as a god given their vast knowledge and seemingly limitless power; it is also implied that they made a direct pact with an Elaide Witch long ago, descendant of the first, Amelia.

The tome highlights the ideals of a Witch. To never reveal a secret lightly, to work in the shadows and to find solutions to the folly of man. Few Witches and Warlocks are able to obtain a long live, where their years are extended beyond a mortal's. Rituals to extend lifespan and maintain youth are written in detail but are especially advanced and difficult; often requiring blood bathing of the vitae of innocents, strong magical mastery and Demonology. There are no limits or taboos if it means bringing you closer to your dream, though betrayal of the Coven is a certain death.

Alongside the Black Arts of Witchcraft (https://chronicles-of-eternia.com/lore/index.php?title=Black_Magic) the tome has a heavy focus on Demonology. By far and wide it is the most advanced resource for this specialization. There are many rituals and spells (OOC: limited to your own creativity!) and several lifetimes would be necessary to explore them all. In particular, however, these are perhaps the most notable:
