Description
Sisters of the Coven have the ability to bond with avian totemic familiars via witchcraft. It is a good idea to trust your familiar upon bonding, to be sure it is able to keep up with you while moving. Note that this does not help if your character is flying and the familiar cannot, or in some other circumstances such as swimming or falling.
Spoiler warning: information below includes details, such as solutions to puzzles or quest procedures, that you may prefer to discover on your own.
Locations
The Coven's guildmistress now stays at a wooded dell on an island in Gardagh at the coordinates 23, 20, 0.

Halea looks Sethae up and down, sizing it up. Halea asks, ~*&. Bring me the tail of a rat, so that you might understand darkness. Bring me the hand of an angel, so that you might understand death. Bring me a walking stick, so that you might understand freedom. Bring me a coin, so that you might understand want. Bring me a sword, so that you might understand pain, and a thond's eye, that you might understand honor. Bring me a flute, so that you might understand joy, and the wing of a bird, that you might understand life. And when you bring me these things, bring yourself, naked and shivering, that you might feel the stars on your face and taste the ocean with your skin. .&*~
You say, [- I wish to join the Coven -] You are now a first-degree specialist in aging retardation, centering, channeling, conjuration, daemonology, empathy, enchantment, and manipulation.

Let's not waste any time. .&*~ The white-skinned female human says, ~*&. Ean mole a u das foae roub rueaw a rat. .&*~ in Enochian.

Your silver flute evaporates into a thin mist and disperses through the air. The white-skinned female human says, ~*&. Ean mole a nazps, wefaem au o aloroir. .&*~ in Enochian. Your runed iron longsword evaporates into a thin mist and disperses through the air. Your runed iron longsword is torn from your grasp. The white-skinned female human says, ~*&. Ean mole in e das oan loao oay. .&*~ in Enochian. Your ivory-set dark brown wooden walking stick evaporates into a thin mist and disperses through the air. The white-skinned female human says, ~*&. Ean mole a coin das foae ag longer loowo. .&*~ in Enochian. Your golden coin evaporates into a thin mist and disperses through the air. The white-skinned female human says, ~*&. Ean mole a soogal das ou eay oaloa ku-r. .&*~ in Enochian. Your fresh olive eye evaporates into a thin mist and disperses through the air. The white-skinned female human says, ~*&.

Myst joins with the seas and joins with the night. .&*~ The white-skinned female human says, ~*&. Myst joins with her Sisters and joins with the skies. .&*~ You feel a strange new desire beginning to stir deep within your psyche, and strange new sensations rippling across your naked flesh. Your chest, arms, and legs shimmer with motes of star-filled violet light, and a dark violet silk dress materializes and wraps itself around on your body.
The white-skinned female human says, ~*&. Welcome to the Coven, Sister. May your time without a familiar be short. .&*~
You sense a new emotional need opening up within you -- an incompleteness you never fully grasped, the need for a true soulmate of some kind -- along with the desire and ability to fulfill that need and to complete yourself.
Allowed races
The list below was given out by Twilight:
[OOC Twilight] all the coven races have the dihydrolipoamide S-acetyltransferase gene
Abilities
The Coven are capable of bonding with certain animals of the wild via witchcraft.
Known Familiar Types
Carrion Bird The white-skinned female human says, ~*&. Those that seek the crow or the raven become Black Sisters, gatekeepers of the realm of the dead, caretakers of shades and spirits. The magicks of the birds of the dead are quite potent, and mostly come in the form of enchantments. .&*~
Owl The white-skinned female human says, ~*&. Those that seek the owl become Wise Mothers, seekers of elemental wisdom, knowers of the faces of the moon. Maidens have perhaps the most straightforward and powerful magicks among the Sisters,able to stand toe to toe with virtually any foe. .&*~
Osprey The white-skinned female human says, ~*&. Those that seek the osprey become Sirens, lovers of the sea, temptresses of fate and men. Their magicks are the least potent of the Sisters, consisting mostly of guile and conscription. But they have their place in the scheme of things. .&*~
Goose, Swan The white-skinned female human says, ~*&. There are still two more possibilities, rarer among us, perhaps due to the normal temperament of Those that seek the swan become White Maidens, keepers of the light, resplendent lovers of the sky. They are the warriors of the Coven, compared to the rest of us at least, and use witchcraft to bend the light to aid them in the battle. Then there are the seekers of the goose, the Gray Dames, healers of the flesh, caretakers of the earth. They are the witchdoctresses of the Coven, as it were, masters of herbal and magickal means of healing wounds, diseases, and curses. .&*~

Specialty Access
While it may seem that the Coven are very similar to the Verynvelyrae or Zetesai, there are profound differences in specialty access. Generally, the Coven are granted a very large amount of magickal skill access and affinity access, while the Verynvelyrae are given far less, even with the same familiar types. Charms based on skills (which is, most of them) will tend to have a higher potential for the Coven, and some special attack maneuvers (e.g. those granted by the Owl) will hit more accurately and do more damage.
Trainers
- Halea, who stays at 23, 20 in Gardagh
- Esme, who wanders around -6, 16 in Gardagh - does not speak Anglic, but does speak Graecan
- Lynda Xenetha, who apparently spawns in a random location in Gardagh and wanders around a small radius; she can be scried.
- Leah, Diamond street in Losthaven.
Incompatible Affiliations
Coven members are forbidden from joining affiliations of type "agent", which includes the Stalkers of the Gate. They are also forbidden from becoming "sadists" such as the Synousia Algesis. Can't join Apollonian Disciples as a hedonist guild. Can't become warriors or soldiers which rules out Weapons of Vengeance, Fianna, Chosen of Vashanka, Maidens of the Spear, even for the White Maiden warrior sect.
