Writings of the Covens
A collection of correspondence within the Coven of Covens.
The following documents are the collected writings salvaged from members of the Coven of Covens. People hope they may be useful in identifying malicious hags that are still acting in secret. In addition, it may be possible to glean some insight into the nebulous objective of the organisation.
Writings found in the home of Sister Meggett within the hamlet of Dotting. These letters were found on the 16th of Harvest, 804AA.
Daughters,
It fills me with warmth to know you have all been successful. Your respective covers and your personal tasks will continue to strengthen our ties and our standing. Listen to your Aunts for their words are my words and come with love. Together we will be strong.
Sister Meggett,
I hope gumdrop has been good&useful. pixies are easier to corrupt than I had thought i'll try a dryad next.
Sister Meggett,
You have done good work, the materials you have gathered and continue to send me have been of great benefit. However, the secrecy of your position is tenuous. I have used my influence to try to capture the ones who know you for who you are but we may need to think about moving you to a new location soon. The coven of covens cannot risk being revealed this early.
Writings found within the home of Sister Amalia a short ways west of Devyton. These letters were found on 30th of Harvest, 804AA.
Healer,
Holden is the perfect target for destabilisation. The baron is weak-minded and will crumble early while I use my influence here to block aid. The Contractor is calling in a favour to reduce resistance within the town walls. Once Holden is truely suffering, we will cast our gaze to another location. Remember, our swift, decisive action will put us above the other Covens in the eyes of Mother.
sister Amalia,
orb was good yes? brought you visitors
see if the Beauty will move it to the coast
Daughters,
Our plans have had to escalate sooner than originally thought. The Spider has been slain by some roving group of adventures. Mark well the following: an acolyte, a feline, a tinker gnome, an undead musician and a warrior already touched by our machinations. Inform your sisters of their comings and goings and do not underestimate them.
There were no writings found in the possession of Auntie Serah. However, on her person was one half of a paired set of sending stones. It is currently unknown who holds the other.
Two letters were found in the abode of Sister Auspicia, the Sight. They were written in a complex code.
Sister Auspicia,
I am deeply concerned by your latest vision. The certainty with which you comport yourself will be your downfall.- you may have seen yourself striking down the five travellers but this prediction is flawed. There are six of them! Please think about relocating yourself or seeking help from another of your sisters. Do not make me get Mother involved.
Sight,
Thank you for the guidance you have given so far. The timing of the Beauty's arrival was perfect and I'm sure the twins will appreciate her gift.
Three additional letters were located within bottles in the underwater grotto of the Twins, in the reefs to the east of Allswell. Most notable was a letter penned directly to the Hagsbane Order, not using the code now standard in the rest of the correspondence.
Sirens,
How dare you lose the orb? It was the most valuable of the articles we had gathered, far more valuable than any assistance you may have received from those ghastly fish folk. You MUST retrieve it, other activities depend on it. Thank you, at least, for securing some volume of the reagent. The Beauty will return in three weeks time for more.
Sisters,
As you well know, Auntie Serah was slain by adventurers. Mother has appointed me as your superior for the meanwhile but my activities take me back to the Feywild for the foreseeable future. Keep doing what you are doing, the reagent is one of several of paramount importance to our wider plans.
The Hagsbane Order,
If you have found this letter, you have already slain the twins. This does not surprise me. Due to the unraveling of the Coven, I wish to discuss the immediate terms of my surrender. I can be found in Geremouth, in a residence above Hobard's Emporium. I have plenty to bargain with.
Gerta is with me.
This article is a work in progress. New letters will be added as the campaign continues. It will be tidied up upon completion.
