Three Sisters of War

One of the first covens

A long time ago, when the Age of War was still going in its full glory, in an unknown place, 3 Beteclaw girls lived in an unknown family. They were named Evanora, Circe, and Beatrice, and each one of them were loved equally by their parents. They lived happily, only arguing once in a while, and maybe they would be completely forgotten by history if not for one event that changed them.   One day, the three of them were sent with a local merchant to take their family crops, the fruit of their labor to the town market. The day was bright and sunny and they managed to sell most of the crops, bringing quite a sum back home.
They could see the smoke and red glow long before they could see their village. Raiders attacked their home, killing everyone. Their parents, neighbors, friends, all dead. What the girls didn't know, was that the raiders haven't left yet. The cart they used was attacked. One of the bandits managed to climb on it and was about to grab Beatrice. Seeing that, Circe tried to punch him. But before her fist connected, his body exploded, spraying everything with his blood. His companions, shocked, but even more angry, decided to kill her. They pulled the strings of their bows and were ready to make a pincushion out of her when Beatrice started to scream. Hearing that, the few closest to her collapsed, never to wake up again. The rest of their group were terrified and decided to run away. But then, Evanora pointed at them, and two beasts emerged from her shadow. They chased and tore apart the remaining few bandits.   That day, when they finally reached their house and found the bodies of everyone they knew, something snapped in them in two ways. They lost their innocence but they became something else. They were Witches.
They swore to each other, that no matter what, they would always be together, supporting each other. And that they would end this whole senseless war, the thing that took away everything they had. They became one of the first Witch Covens.  

Masters of war

Since then, they kept their promise. At first, they wanted to use their newfound powers to intimidate everyone. Anytime the armies would gather, they would show up to overwhelm them with magic. At first, it worked. No matter the times, Witches always were a force to be reckoned with. And yet, as soon as they left, the armies went back to their wars. So if the intimidation didn't work, the three sisters had to use force. They killed the soldiers, their commanders, even rulers. Because of that, more and more people wanted to slay them and avenge the ones they lost. Witches were locked in a constant battle, becoming what they wanted to overcome. And they started to love it, each in her own twisted way. The three of them could stand against armies and be sure that they'll win the fight. They left Colorful marks wherever they went. They are one of the reasons why the northern part of the continent is separated from the rest by a strip made out of Oversaturation (geographic anomaly).   They were the three sisters of war.  

Three sisters

Evanora, the oldest one, The Beastmaster

Evanora was 2 years older than Circe and 7 years older than Beatrice. She was the tallest of the three. She often cut her dark brown mane to chin-length. She was a middle ground between Circe's short temper and Bea's stoic calmness. Although she, just like her sisters, was incredibly beautiful, most men were intimidated by her height, and as such, she didn't manage to find any suitor before it all went down. She loved nature and as such, once she became a Witch, she used her spells to summon beings of pure (Black and Red) Color to serve her. Beings of teeth and claws capable of tearing apart armies in mere seconds. She would watch as her pets hunt down her enemies.  

Circe, the middle one, The Fighter

The smallest of the three, Circe often let her emotions control her. She tied her curly, light brown mane down. She was interested in everything athletic. Since childhood, she climbed trees and rocks, swam in lakes and rivers, and ran long distances. Her sisters could never keep up with her pace. Both when living in the village and way later, she had many lovers, whose hearts she would break. Once she became a Witch, she decided to use the Colors to further strengthen her body. By covering it with Black and Red swirls, she can destroy buildings with her kicks and any attacks with simple weapons bounce off of her skin. She loved seeing her attacks turning her enemies into a bloody mass.  

Beatrice, the youngest one, The Caster

The youngest of the three was always a quiet child. Instead of going out, she liked to read books and research everything that intrigued her at the moment. She had the longest, most beautiful dark blonde mane in the village, which her sisters helped her to braid. She was never interested in finding anyone to love. Books were the only thing that could pluck at her heartstrings. Once she became a Witch, her vast knowledge and curiosity pushed her to research Colors more. She started creating Black and Red spells of mass destruction, burning, crushing, slashing, blowing up. She could finally research many ways a person can die.

Color:
All three sisters specialized in using Black and Red at the same time. Additionally, Eva prefered using Green as her third Color as it increases the range of the control she had over her creatures. Circe tended to use Yellow to shield herself and her sisters from enemy attacks. Bea, on the other hand, liked to add some chaos to her spells with White.

What happened to them

At some point, all three of them disappeared, never to be heard again. According to some, they perished in some battle, others think they were poisoned in their sleep, and yet other rumors say that they finally got tired of fighting and hid, taking on new identities.
The truth
Whatever they told you about the disappearance of those three, it's not true or only partially true. At least two of them are still alive.   Eva
According to some hidden sources, Eva was somehow killed during one of the battles. The battle itself either never was chronicled or was struck out of all of the records. The main question is, what happened with her Colors? When the Witch dies, her Colors spill out, oversaturating everything around her. And the problem is, there is no land corrupted with Oversaturation (geographic anomaly) resembling the mixed Color the three of them used. So either the two younger sisters somehow contained her explosion or she isn't dead. At least not fully.   Circe
Circe is the only one we can confirm that just went off somewhere, hiding her identity. Apparently, after Eva's death and what happened to Beatrice, she had to disappear. And she still hasn't returned.   Bea
Beatrice is a curious case. One of the very few Witches that started Fading. Her body constantly produces and balances Colors (due to her being a Witch) and purges them because of her condition. Circe left her in a safe place that now jumps between being oversaturated, normal, and Gray on an hourly basis.

Throw a whitewashed cultist into beatrice's rainbow land. Maybe after a few hours or days beatrice's wild color correcting will balance them out.
