Patrons

SILVERPELT - 

The Beacon of the Clans, Patron of Witch and Wisdom alike. Most Witches are content with Her Pact, the Pact that brought their powers into being– but some seek more than Her strength. Warriors too seek the Light of Silverpelt– entreating Her for all sorts of Purifying and Guiding magics. Her Pactbearers that do not bear the title of Witch are warriors with the power of the Stars behind them– Her paws in the world that She oft may not touch herself. Starcraft, Stonecraft, Fatecraft, and Dreamcraft all fall under Her banner- she is most likely to impart knowledge of those such things.

GOLDENEYE -

The Patron of Matriarchs, Frr’ygg, the Spawn of Silvereye– a God made of both Light and Fire, one who guides all with righteous enough fury. Invoked for all true and powerful Protective magics, Goldeneye is what bestowed upon the Matriarchs their ability to shift– and it was the Goldeneye’s fury that destroyed the Witches who dared lock that ability away. Some believe that, through further Pact with Goldeneye, the ability to hamr-shift may again be uncovered– but that is a story yet untold. For now, the Goldeneye is Patron of Protection– Wardcraft, Wargcraft, and Spellcraft all fall under Goldeneye’s dominion. Those who make Pact with the Goldeneye experience these magics as sign.

LUCKYLEAP - 

The Patron of Trickery, a mischievous Godling known for her staunch protection of kits and apprentices. It is by her grace that younglings find themselves protected from the machinations of the Dark and its Kin. She is most often to make Pact with cats who go against the tide, tricksters and playful cats– who are not afraid to change things for the better. Her blessings and boons come in the form of Dreamcraft and Heimcraft– cats under her protection are worldly and well-traveled– even to worlds not their own. Luckyleap is also a talented Fatecrafter, and will impart upon you your fate if you tell her a good enough joke.

THE WYVERN - 

The Honorable Dragon of Duneclan, their Patron and God. The Wyvern is known to make Pact with Duneclan’s best and brightest, imparting upon them the first use of Flame. Cats devoted to the Wyvern may find themselves able to Speak Flame into existence, scorching their enemies– or, sometimes, their friends. The Wyvern is a theatrical Pact-maker, and often exacts strange prices for its aid– it loves a good show of faith. It is a master of Spellcraft and Wyrmcraft– the chief bestower of these magics onto its Pactbearers.

THE HYDRA - 

The Honorable Dragon of Fjordclan, their protector and their Dreamer. The Hydra makes pact with Fjordclan’s most sensitive artists, the lovers, the dreamers. It is a capricious Lord, however– and its nature is as ever-changing as the tides. The price of Pact with the Hydra is different for every soul it collects– but all are treated to protective and intuitive magics unbound. Dreamcraft and Wyrmcraft bend easiest to Pactbearers of the Hydra– but Colorcraft is also a knowledge almost exclusive to these Sorcerers. 

THE LONG - 

The Honorable Dragon of Steppeclan, their Warlord and Huntkeeper– the Long makes Pact with the most competitive of Steppeclan’s warriors, the ones who eternally pursue. It is a demanding God, always asking for feats of strength and bravery from its Pactbearers. However, it is a nomadic Lord as well, often needing to be found, rather than seeking out its own Pactbearers. The gifts it grants are powerful, however– magics of Wargcraft and Wyrmcraft– as well as the same strength that blesses the Dragonchoir. 

THE LINDWYRM - 

The Honorable Dragon of Wealdclan, the sleeping Leviathan in their caverns. The Lindwyrm forms Pact with the most stalwart of Wealdclan’s warriors, often asking only for one thing– to be remembered. It is a powerful Patron, but a judicious one, doling out its gifts only as much as one can afford to take them. The Lindwyrm is a great hoarder as well, and to make Pact with anything Else risks upsetting it– it places great value on its hoard, its pack. The Lindwyrm knows much of Runecraft and Wyrmcraft– and in exchange for loyalty, is willing to impart knowledge of these things.

THE FOLKLORE HEROES - 

Their boons are as varied as their personalities and the stories about them. Each Folklore Hero grants different boons– and they all exact different prices. More can be read about them in the MYTHS tab. However, they are all masters of Lorecraft.

Phoenixroar grants boons of Spellcraft and Blessingcraft.

Salamandersigh grants boons of Gandrcraft and Herbcraft.

Chimerafaces grants boons of Starcraft and Wyrmcraft.

Leviathancall grants boons of Cursecraft and Lichcraft.

Kelpiestep grants boons of Fatecraft and Runecraft.

Medusaheart grants boons of Starcraft and Stonecraft.

Feldgeister-blood grants boons of Bloodcraft and Wargcraft.

Sylphdancer grants boons of Cursecraft and Spellcraft.

Griffincatcher grants boons of Heimcraft and Gandrcraft.

Draketree grants boons of Runecraft and Stonecraft.

Gargoylevigil grants boons of Lichcraft and Spellcraft.

Gnomescamper grants boons of Fatecraft and Cursecraft.

THE STARVING DARK - 

A strange, unnatural Patron, more of a parasite than anything else. To make Pact with the Starving Dark, in some way or another, marks a cat as a Warlock– and, in the eyes of the Clans, marks them for death. A Warlock is never to be left alive, piloted around by the Hunger That is Pitch, the Always-Starving. Many magics can be gained by making Pact with the Starving Dark– but each one is terrible in nature, and each one exacts a terrible price. It is not a life, to live with the Starving Dark in your soul.
