Witch of Rastaman

 

Description:

 

The Witches of Rashaman (Wra) make up an elite organization of witches that dwell in and protect the ancient secrets of Rastaman (now known as Mistyveil). Mistyveil is locked in a perpetual twilight from low hanging fog, believed to originate from geothermal activity. Ancient magics dwell there as well which make its inroads move and shift for travelers; these same magics frustrate any attempts at mapping Mistyveil and scrying out its secrets. Only the witches seem unaffected by these hindrances, and they value their privacy highly.
