In the beginning, the Twilight Coven was just as prestigious as the Eclipsed Hunters. Revered seekers of knowledge and worshippers of the earth and all the gods, they were the magical counterpart to their then sister order. Preservers of the sacred arts and dedicated to uncovering the secrets of the cosmos, your magic is a gift to be cultivated. However, as times have gone sour, and the Second Sun devoured, the Coven has taken it as the highest enactment of betrayal. Consumed by the darkness of Maes's wrath the coven pledges fealty to the Old Gods, gaining access to primordial magic that consumes the thralls of civilization and aims to return the world to what they consider "order."
Be it by chance or luck, somehow you found yourself to be a Dark Sister in the oldest order of witches in Novostya. Perhaps you're a survivor of the massacres, or the traditions have been passed down by your family. Nonetheless, you've grown up watching as the world despises all that you are and enjoy. Now more than ever, you work to stop the persecution of arcane magicians.

You and your fellow Dark Sisters have undergone tremendous suffering to remain alive in this world but could never communicate in the open. As such, you learn Witchtongue- a secret code only members of the Twilight Coven understand. Coven members use this as a means to identify each other and seek aid. You and your adventuring companions can expect to receive free healing and care from other coven members, though you must provide any material components needed for spells. Those in your coven will support you (but only you) at a modest lifestyle.
Suggested Characteristics
Dark Sisters of the Twilight Coven might seem like villains on the surface, and many of them became consumed by darkness after the Second Sun perished. But others have endearing, if not redeeming, characteristics. They usually adhere to a strict moral code and are often empathic sort of people.
