150 years since the Cleansing.
The Order of Taios rules sovereign over Aelia.
Witches are all but forgotten.
And yet ...
A great weight presses upon the Web,
magic calls the unsuspecting in,
and new powers emerge.

Ashlyn Sparrow as Nia
Coven of the Claw
Nia is a protector in her village of refugee magic users. Her parents secreted her to Iyadir and away from the Church after her noble mother wed a warlock with a pact with the god of Death. Nia is fiercely loyal to her people, and while she doesn’t have magic, she does whatever she can to look after her community as a scout and hunter.
Ashlyn Sparrow is a Senior Research Associate at the University of Chicago’s Department of Cinema Media Studies, and the founder and former Assistant Director of UC’s Weston Game Lab. As well as being a lover of lore, Ash has extensive experience in game design and game-based learning, with a focus in the applications of games for social change.
Adopted by the well-to-do Laurelle family in Isatis, Ofelia has spent her whole life at her father's side, learning to become a physician like him. A diligent and practical student, she has no time or thoughts to spare for magic as she follows the path laid out by her family's high expectations.
Annette Lee is a NYC-based actress and D&D lover. She has long been fascinated with the magical realm and how such magic creeps into our own realm. When she is not penning and conjuring her own stories, you can find Annette performing classical works on stage, creating delicious matcha lattes, and cuddling with her cat.

Tegan Mack as Emmett
Coven of the Heart
A pick-pocketing urchin running around the streets of Audun, young Emmett is an orphan who's never known a home. Instead, she's made one with the other children who haunt and hunt the university town's streets. Even without magical abilities, Emmett has always drawn others to her with her compassion and her ability to snatch purses without getting caught.
Tegan Mack is a drama student at College of Marin in the California Bay Area. While her current academic focus is theater, she has always been hyperfocused on her skills in visual art. She is passionate about storytelling, and whether it's through the medium of television, comics, stage plays, or simply through writing, she hopes to inspire others with the stories in her head.
Sara Vipond Brink likes Dungeons & Dragons just fine, but she actually prefers the Fate Core system. Her first public foray into TTRPG-based entertainment is using the D&D rules purely because she loves witches, the magical women of this coven, and the top-notch storytellers and designers at Worlds Beyond Number alike. She encourages you to pick up the game Wickedness by Witch class designer Mazey Veselak to experience some real magic at work.
Sara moved to California after getting into the finals of an OK Go music video competition. She figured that if Damien Kulash liked her first-ever attempt at animation enough for it to get that far, she could probably kickstart a career in entertainment. She picked Oakland over LA for the vibes (a *choice*), and now she's following through on the promise she made herself over a decade ago to do all this so she can tell dope stories with friends.
