have a human keeper who organizes their hunting and provides a secret refuge for them. Their strongest urge is to drink blood. A frenzied group will sometimes rip a victim to pieces.
Celtic Witches
Little is known about Celtic witches—other than they don’t form clans; they work alone. Nor do we know much about the type of magic they use. They live in Ireland, far from the County, and worship one of the Old Gods called the Morrigan, whose other name is the Goddess of Slaughter. We know more about the goddess than her witches.
Romanian Witches
These witches live in big houses and are wealthy. Their covens don’t meet in the flesh because they are able to project their souls out of their bodies in the form of glowing orbs. If people see the orbs dancing in the sky, they are drawn toward them and face certain death, for the witches absorb their life force. I am glad that Romania is a long way from the County!
