History
In the year 1299, a group of men and women named the Delphic Society were chased from their towns after exhibiting strange magical behavior which was feared at the time. After the Delphic Mansion in Athitica was burned down by an arsonist, they fled the Central Shire and congregated in the distant village of Little Wangleton. The native villagers held no resentment towards those with magical abilities, instead choosing to give them respect and protection from the fear-dominated Central Shire. In the mid 1300's, the Delphic Society rebranded itself as a coven, a haven for all witches and warlocks. The villagers of Little Wangleton had grown accustomed to the sometimes strange and occult activity that infested their village, and as the numbers grew in the Delphic Coven, outsiders became even more frightened. Wangletonians were plagued by hate crimes and violence for harboring witches. Wishing to protect those who protected them when no one else would, the Delphic Coven retaliated against the attackers. This however proved to be a fatal move, and prompted the Shire Witch Trials.
