Steel Witch
The Steel Witches of Wexe form an integral part of the Legions of Doom, and are the counterpart to the more numerous Warlocks. It is unknown what bargain Xaph struck with them to bring them into his employ, but their skill with Herbcraft, Hexcraft, and Enchantments make them an indispensable supporting force within the Legions of Doom.
Their robes and overcoats are embroidered with intricate patterns in threads of copper and silver, and their heavy hats are reinforced with steel struts that maintain their pointed shape even when bumped against doorways and low ceilings. Even their boots are inlaid with metal, as dropping an iron cauldron on your toes is considered to be unwise and very painful.
Although physically weak and fragile, the Steel Witches are a practical sort who are not above getting their hands dirty. They are of the opinion that if something should be done right, then it should be done themselves. More than one witch hunter laden with magic dampening enchantments have met their end to a steak knife hidden up a witch's sleeve.
The Steel Witches are distributed throughout Xaph's Citadel and the various parts of Wexe that the Legions of Doom operate in. They are most densely concentrated in the labyrinthine Rust Warrens, where they tend the secret arcane smithies that forge the enchanted chains that bind Wraiths to the world.
