Coven of the Earth Witch
Submitted by mike on Mon, 02/06/2012 - 15:16
Earth Witch is a daughter of Ga, the Great Earth which encompasses all. Some say she is Ty Kora Tek's twin, and from the outside their demeanor and powers can seem similar to the casual observer.

Oh look! I did a search to see what I might find before I started making stuff up, and it turns out there's already an Earth Witch writeup! This is a Hero Wars V1 writeup, so it ismore restrictive and limited than V3 requires. I can give a shot at addressing it, if Chris is going to allow a male to join the Practice.

Jon, I had to delete your post because that was copyrighted material.
Found and Lost
It's ok. That Earth Witch is unavailable to men anyway. If Chris wants that kind of cult to be for women only then Imarjan chooses the path of Black Face and Cloak. No setting of fires after dark. A black tattooed face and a "fetching" cloak. Spirit plus Darkness and Mobility Runes.
Xentha is in the Troll pantheon as the goddess of night:
When Darkness Deities invaded the surface world, Xentha led them. She is a great and commanding goddess, with mysterious powers far beyond the ken of man or troll. Most beings recognize her, but worship instead her minions who can more easily be known. During the Darkness she ruled the upper and surface world, and now shares it with Yelm.
She is usually shown as a tall figure, carved from granite, with sweeping robes.
Xentha is probably not for Imarjan either. Perhaps one of her minions is appropriate...
However, this next one is more practical because she is also worhiped by humans:
Xiola Umbar from the Troll pantheon is the goddess of the "Solace of the Dark Deep Within".
This is the goddess of brute compassion. Among all of the troll deities she is the most gentle. She is also worshiped by humans. As the sister of Zorak Zoran she often seeks to right the wrongs which he commits. Although worship of her is somewhat disparaged by the common trolls, she fulfills an important place in their social structure by healing anyone who needs it, and by caring for the helpless (usually trollkin). For the former she is scorned, for the latter she is blessed by all trolls.
Xiola Umbar is symbolized as a clay pot inscribed with a healing charm on the exterior, and a mouthless face on the inside bottom.
I paraphrased some of this before I posted it, but it can also be deleted if needed, Mike.
Xentha (pronounced "Zentha" by the way)
Xentha is a Great Spirit, far too big for mortals to contact directly. Black Face and Cloak is a Spirit Society that is both part of the Imarjan tradition and the Xenthan tradition. This happened during the time before the Pharaoh, when the Only Old One, a troll, ruled Kethaela.
Most troll pantheon "gods" are really Great Spirits, but most humans don't know that.
In any case, Black Face and Cloak could be considered a minion of Xentha. Though that is the name of the society, not a particular spirit.
Willing
After looking into The Old Bear Tradition and the Way of the Elk Horned Man Tradition, Imarjan wants to follow the Path of Black Face and Cloak. He already has Uz Mythology at 13.
