Coven of the Long Night
The Coven of the Long Night, also known as the "Coven of Darkness," is a druidic circle affiliated with the church of Kurxang. This druidic circle is dedicated to the worship and reverence of Kurxang, the god of vengeance, fear, torture, lies, and trickery. Though they see themselves as druidic they are seen by most outsiders that find them as witches
In the depths of the night, where shadows dance and secrets whisper, the Coven of the Long Night finds its purpose. Veiled from the prying eyes of most folk, we exist as stewards of vengeance and manipulation, safeguarding those who dare approach us. In rural enclaves, where the spirits of the land hold sway and traditional beliefs linger, we embrace the perception of witches, intertwining the druidic arts with our age-old craft.
The Coven of the Long Night dedicates itself to the timeless pursuit of equilibrium and empowerment for those who seek our guidance. We understand that the balance of life rests on the fulcrum of manipulation and vengeance, and we harness these forces to shape a world shrouded in shadows and intrigue.
