Description:
The Umbra Witches were a clan of European dark art practitioners from ancient times, who Hermaeus mora is descended from. Their affinity is to Inferno, darkness, and the moon. Making pacts with demons in order to posses their extraordinary abilities, the Umbra Witches are fluent in using the Bullet Arts as a fighting technique and in the use of "Witch time", mirroring the Lumen sages' "Light speed".
Characteristics:
Through the harnessing of Spirit Energy, Umbra Witches were practitioners of magic revolving around the influence of the moon and the evocation of beings from Inferno. While well versed in the supernatural and metaphysical arts, they were also keen in the arts of alchemy, chemistry, martial arts, medicine, anatomical health, and what could be assumed, various sciences and technological prowess of many sorts. An all female clan of witches as per namesake but men have now been allowed into their mists , their ranks included only those who could harness spirit energy by birth, and those who were strong enough to survive their brutal courses of training and study. Those powerful enough to become heiresses of the entire clan matriarchy also undergo an intense duel to prove their worth; the role of leader is also entrusted with watching over the Left Eye Of The World.
History:
The Umbra Witches were one half of two clans who worked hard to maintain the balance of the world's light and dark forces in order to ensure the just passage of time. They paid great respect to each other and, from the existence of the Golem, they once had worked together for reasons unknown. Like the Lumen Sages, the Umbra Witches possessed an "Eye", part of a set which were know as the "Eyes of the World" that oversaw history and time itself.
