Witch

Witches are creatures with magical abilities. They're are extremely scarce. Witches often birth Menfolk, who have limited magical abilities, and male witches are considered a major oddity. Witches sometimes have Familiars, animals that follow their every step and help them.

Witches often learn Latin spells to perform magical tasks but often have a main power that they can use without the assistance of a spell.

Witches used to be known for cutting off the thumb bones of people. The thumb bones contain all the energy in a person's body and they use the bones to perform spells without depleting their own energy. This practice is worn out and not used very often.

Witches in Idris are required to preserve corpses with The Animation Spell if given a price of $1,000, which will keep the memories intact and allow the body to speak of their life and history.

History

Many witches originated in Ireland, which holds one of the gates to The Underworld. They soon migrated to the rest of the world, which in turn was a bad choice considering many people began to slaughter witches since they found it unholy. Witches fled to Idris which was one of the safest places for them at the time. They began The Herb Route when Cyrodil and Idris were allies. The Herb Route was a route from Idris to Cyrodil that witches often would take to go to Cyrodan Markets to purchase ingredients for potions. During that time, they were known to capture Were creatures and take them as husbands and familiars alike, allowing the first weres to enter Idris. This started a long war over the centuries between the two countries and still is continuing.

Involvement With The Praetor Lupus

Witches are more common inside the Praetor ranks compared to the outside. They often have to control The Marking Ceremony and perform spells. The Praetor Lupus was also started by a witch and her werecat husband Wool Smith but is often forgotten and discredited for her work.
