As of Winter 807WK

Elder Josephine Miskell is the leader of the coven and town. She is an elderly, kind-looking, human woman still in good health. She is famed for her wisdom and is said to be an Oracle of Knowledge, knowing much about the ways of magic. She seldom travels to court in Castle Chilton but is visited by the Duke, who considers her a friend and respects her council. She prefers to dress in gowns of locally made linen, even though her friend Lady Elisabeth DeWinter has made her gifts of more courtly attire.


The small town of Slippery Rock was settled in 770WK by a community of idealistic white witches and warlocks. Although the town reports to Duke Leto, he has always allowed the coven to govern locally. He has actively encouraged both the Wiccan and the Slippery Rock communities. Most people within Carzala know of the coven and seek guidance and healing from them when in need. The coven also trains Wicca from the Seagate Adventurers' Guild.


A small shop within town sells amulets (to order taking a day to make) as well as a range of herbs.

Local villages and hamlets that seek guidance from the coven are: Blight Ruins, Thok Ruins, Westwind Ruins, Tim's Ruins, and Byson Ruins
