The Grand Tome of Adversaries, the next exciting supplement for the critically-acclaimed Witch Hunter: the Invisible World, is coming soon. This week we are happy to present the first of the great forbidden societies of the Invisible world.
Of all the Forbidden Societies in the world, the Coven of the Dark Canticle is perhaps the most feared. Not even the Orders of Solomon themselves strike up as much trepidation as this age-long sisterhood does. When their name is spoken, I find peasants usually do so with a glance placed over the shoulder, or with a sign against the evil eye. Whenever they arrive, these beings create legends and folklore in their wake. There are sites across the world that are known simply because a member of this society worked her magic in that place, or said a few passing words to a complete stranger.
Little is publicly known about this society, for when the Dark Canticle works their machinations, it is usually from the shadows and the darkness. However, the evidence of their work can be seen on just about every continent on earth. They are behind such events as the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius, the rise of Vlad Tepes, and the fall of Babylon.
Ironically, this society is responsible for the very birth of Witch Hunters, for it was this sisterhood that caused the corruption of the Great Seal of Solomon. For that reason alone, most Witch Hunters steel themselves when they hear the name of this most dreaded circle of witches.
