MAGIC IS EVERYWHERE. IT SURROUNDS THE WORLD AND A GOOD DEAL OF POWER SEEMS CONCENTRATED IN THE VERY SOIL OF CRESCENT HILLS. THE FIRST NATIVE AMERICANS COULD SENSE THE MAGIC OF THE LAND AND UTILIZED IT IN THEIR LIVES. SETTLERS WHO TOOK OVER THE LAND IN THEIR CONQUEST COULD FEEL THE MAGIC, BUT CREDITED IT TOWARDS THE LAND BEING "RICH IN GOLD." AFTER THAT, IT WAS ALMOST LIKE CRESCENT HILLS WAS A MAGNET FOR THE MAGICALLY INCLINED.
COVENS FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY HAVE EITHER MOVED OR VISITED THE AREA AT SEVERAL POINTS. MANY OF THEM LEFT FAMILY BEHIND OR RETURN OCCASIONALY TO UTLIZE THE LAND. THE WITCHES THAT PERMANENTLY INHABIT CRESCENT HILLS TODAY LEAN MORE TOWARDS THE "DARK" ARTS, USUALLY SPECIALIZING IN SANTERIA, NECROMANCY, OR OR VODOU. THAT'S NOT TO SAY THERE AREN'T WICCANS OR WHITE WITCHES IN TOWN, THEY'RE JUST NOT AS COMMON. THE COVENS IN CRESCENT HILLS TAKE MAGIC VERY SERIOUSLY, BUT AS POWERFUL AS THEY ARE, THEY'RE ALSO RIDDLED WEAKNESSES. EACH FAMILY HAS AT LEAST ONE MAJOR WEAKNESS, WHETHER IT'S A CERTAIN HERB, MEDALLION, OR TYPE OF ELEMENT.
IN ADDITION TO THIS, MOST WITCHES IN CRESCENT HILLS POSSESS FAMILIARS OF SOME KIND, MOST COMMONLY: HARES, CATS, SNAKES, AND BIRDS. THEY ARE ABLE TO AID WITCHES IN THEIR CRAFT, AND ARE DIRECTLY CORRELATED TO THE WITCHES' STRENGTH. HARMING ONE MAY HARM A WITCH. SO BE CAREFUL WITH WHO AND WHAT YOU HUNT; MORE THAN ONE PERSON HAS BEEN CURSED FOR HARMING A FAMILIAR.
