"You will die… I have foreseen it."
During the time of the Empire of Nerath there were many who explored the dark arts of Shadow Magic, seeking an edge over the primal power of the barbarians who encroached on the empire's borders. Many discovered that weaving shadows together using arcane power as a backbone was an easy way to power, but others sought to find a more pure path to shadow. After long and arduous study the Witches of the Gray Coven perfected a method of using their will to shape shadows into subtle magics without the aid of external power sources. Using this raw form of shadow magic they discovered they could tap into the stream of fate and alter the flow of time around them, a talent they used to great effect during the many border skirmishes which presaged the fall of Nerath. However, dissent and distrust ran rampant in the end days, and the Witches were accused of working with the demonic hordes which assailed the Empire, and summarily hanged. Legends say a few Gray Witches escaped the purge and, out of spite, twisted fate to cause the very fall the Nerathi had feared would happen. Since then the tradition has been passed down from parent to child and slowly the Witches of the Gray Coven have been resumed their place in the shadows…
