Bloodroot
The Circle of the Crone

The Circle of the Crone is an ancient, transcontinental sisterhood of witches whose threads run from forgotten European bloodlines to the deep woods of Appalachia, all bound by lunar rites, ancestral memory, and the worship of the Crone in her many faces. In Opaline, this global network narrows into a single, fiercely protective artery: the Bloodroot Sisters, the coven that guards Opaline Peak, tends the mountain’s hidden groves, and keeps the terrible, holy secret of the Buried God. To belong to the Circle in Opaline is to live with one foot in the town and one in the myth beneath it~herbalist by day, moon‑marked sentinel by night~sworn to uphold the Crone’s will, preserve the old rites, and ensure that no Blood Marked, Garou, or Cultist ever twists the mountain’s power toward ruin.
