Sisters of Sartellia

A group of witches that come from a legendary lost land. They date back as far as the Golden Age when The original sisters for which the namesake comes ended up actually favored by Lord Azital. This was shortly after the passing of Terrinovious, and some claim they the witches had something to do with the assasination. Shea, and Freyna were the original sisters that first made the group known to our history although it is presumed of course their influence in Sartellian matters predates this.

When William the Great Foe of Lord Azital destroyed Azital's influence in the land. The Sisters retreated back to the mountains of Sartellia. Freyna and Shea were soon after killed as a result of some resistance that was put up by the witches. The group continued under the leadership of others such as the Amrey. (Do they have a shared last name, or are they largely extended family at this point? or are they foreigners from the far west or north, who are only family in the sense that they are different?) who continued the resistance effort during that time.

They always are in the background of the history of Sartellia from this point, and if they were ever were foreigners to the land it is no longer. They are as much apart of Sartellia as the mountains they inhabit. The stories and myths that come from their great storytellers are one of the first things children of Sartellia ever learn.

Although no one knows exactly when, the stories say that a descendant of one the sisters Amanda started recruiting witches from the general population, and expanding the ranks, and under the sign of the Sister of Sartellia, an Insigna that displays three women holding hands in a line, they united as 3 great tribes.

The most famous of these tribes is the lost tribe of Tanna, or the Tannan tribe as they have come to be known. In the time of the renewal of contracts a war was waged among the witches and after a devastating battle called Blazing Tide they were completely wiped out. The tribe survives in memory despite the fact that so little is known about the reason for fighting. After Anke was destroyed there were some of the golems who were said to be great storytellers. They told a story of their origin. The most common version come down to modern times is called Amria Jekhipi or oneness oath. It tells a story about a group of witches lost to shadow who found a new way of life. Due to this story and many other some suspect the lost tribe was not lost but merely became one with the golems of the north.

The witches also fought in the second great war against the commandant and his great influence resulting finally in the death of the two remaining sisters by the hand of General Trink in the battle know as the victory of the dead.
