Number of Attacks: 2

Special Attacks: Lust for the Dead( creates a depressive longing in the target for a dead love, leading often times to suicide. The person does not have to be dead, only believed to be by the target. ), Ashes to Ashes( the ability to cremate deceased tissue( doesnt destroy animated dead( undead warriors, vampires, etc ), though does cinder their flesh ) without the need of an oven or corpse pyre. )
Special Defenses: Corpse Shield( uses nearby dead tissue(corpses, coagulated blood, etc ) to create a flesh and blood barrier about the caster. Protection level depends on the amount of materials available. )
Special Abilites: Dust to Dust( form of travel whereas the caster transforms into dust fragments carried on the wind ).
Magic Resistence: The women possess very high resistances to necromantic, and negative energy attacks( derived from a fear of their own kind, and fed by many years of building tolerances ).


Climate/Terrain: Anywhere a large concentration of negative, or necromantic energies can be found. The founding coven was traced to Zodinu Oroch, upon the continent of Nothoa Piripson.
Frequency: Uncommon
Organization: Coven( each coven is comprised of seventeen women, as opposed to the traditional thirteen members. )
Activity Cycle: Day or Night, with a preference to the latter.
Intelligence: High
Language: Enochian, and Common Tongue.
Alignment: Lawful Evil
Description: Beautiful women, with pale flesh and a cold glare. They wear unmarked clothing, of modest quality and design. Their cloaks are likewise plain, and unspectacular. Many of the women also choose to wear a small leather pouch on a simple chain about their necks, the rumors surrounding the pouches range from bone fragments, to vampire teeth being inside. It is safe to assume from the different rumors that some kind of physical spell components are carried within.


Combat: Given their name, and a little research this cataloger found that the Forgotten Crypt is the residing place of Velsharoon, a necromantic god. With this information one can safely assume that their attacks are of the negative, and necromantic variety .... though without seeing firsthand a battle between the coven and a foe the specifics of their powers are unknown.

Habitat/Society: The coven within Zodinu Oroch resides in a crypt complex that I can only assume descends into the cities underworld. Not much exploration was possible, and what I tell here is only the view from the nearby brothel which allows one spying a plenty on the entrance to their secret world. I only witnessed one specific member doing the errand chores for those within that crypt, she alone shopped at the various vendors and slave market, and she alone was the one who brought in food to those others below.

Ecology: Given their human nature it could be said they live for seventy-three years naturally. With the dark energies they mingle with however, this estimation could be incorrect. From the groceries seen carried into the crypt, they eat as normal humans. Breads, fruits, and other common foods are carried in every few days with deliveries of beef from the butchers shops running on a twice weekly schedule( tuesdays, and fridays ). The paling of their flesh is attributed to the darkness they live within, this does little to harm their beauty however.
