Elise

Original Elise

The Crystal Rose Festival welcomes all who believe in its dream of a peaceful tomorrow, though many have grown disenchanted with the whole affair. Those who make up the Withered Rose wish to see it come to an end. But no one is immune to the festival's charm; perhaps they too will be swept away by the evening's beauty and have a change of heart.

Withered Rose

In a world of frequently-broken magical alliances and centuries-old grudges, the annual Crystal Rose Festival offers a neutral ground for the powerful to forgive slights and renegotiate truces. Weapons are ostensibly left at the door, and potential new pacts are signaled by picking and wearing the magical roses that grow only during the festival.

Withered Rose Elise

Elise is in attendance at every annual gala, despite never once receiving a formal invitation. Rumor has it she's been blacklisted for spinning webs of lies, forming and disbanding allegiances in the span of a single evening. Attendees have also noted her suitors never seem to make a return visit to the festival.

The witches lay in wait, a sisterhood of frightening pulchritude, their hopes whispered forth from desacralized lips. They speak of the bloating corpses of Old Gods, of ancient rites carried out with magics long forgotten to mortal mind, of the return of what they call "order", but others call "suffering". Hark! Mankind's end fast approaches.

Coven

In the beginning, the Old Gods reigned. So great was humankind's love for them that one dared to make them a part of her flesh forever. She devoured the sun itself and, descending from that empty heaven, inspired her knights to decimate all those that remained. Centuries later, they stand, the only hope against the rising Coven's darkness.

They came to Elise long ago, crawling through the underbrush, their many eyes locked with hers as a deal was made. The unfathomable powers of an Old God for her devotion and humanity. Reborn in the image of an arachnoid deity, Elise lingers along the edges of the Elderwood, enticing to their doom all those foolish enough to believe her a mere folktale.
