Category:Founding Families of Birne

Taught the secrets of how to make pacts with the Fair Folk by the Laginate Cabal, several of Birne's ancient witch families entered an agreement with the Fair Folk of te Cineris Forest, making regular sacrifices in return for agricultural prosperity. The families lived in (and continue to live in) Birne for many generations, as witches in each generation continued to make sacrifices. At first, animal and other minor sacrifices pleased the spirits of the forest, whom only occasionally demanded human sacrifices. However, over the centuries lesser sacrifices have begun to lose their power, and humans were required sacrifice more and more often. The witches have been unable to keep up with the demand of the woodland spirits, therefore causing Birne's agricultural commodities to fail.^[1]
