Sisterhood of the Gentle Snow
The Sisterhood of the Gentle Snow is an all-woman group of primarily druids, but rangers as well, dedicated to the protection of the material plane against forces from the abyss or the nine hells. The group has shrunk over the years and their influence is not what it once was. However, they remain a force to be reckoned with in northern Autria.
Public Agenda
The Sisterhood's stated purpose to safeguard the land against malefic otherworldly incursions.
History
The Sisterhood came together in 2683 of The Age of Secrets primarily as a martial organization to fight against an incursion of demons and devils that had been wreaking havoc in the land. The war between them had spilled over into the material plane, and they cared little for the collateral damage. Initially a small group of rangers, they soon found that their ranks would be bolstered by the presence of druids and eventually, even wizards and sorcerers soon came to the aid of the young organization.
The early years consisted of defending towns and villages against the rampages of creatures from the nine hells or the abyss. Always on the defensive meant uncertainty for the people and the Sisterhood. Eventually, it was discovered that the archdevil Bael had been summoned to the material plane by a rogue wizard who thought he could control the creature. A combined force of Sisters, dwarves from a nearby clan, and a force of nomadic humans attacked the wizard's tower in an effort to destroy the Staff of Bael, which gave him control. Many were killed that day. However, the coalition was successful in destroying the staff and dividing it up into three parts. The Sisters safeguarded the Eye of Bael, while the other two parts were divided among the the dwarves and the humans.
