Symbol:Rising sword with three lightning bolts and red wings against the background of the Uroboros.
In the Boiling Isles, they are also called the Wild Hunt, Ghost riders, Raging army, Curse of the Blood Moon.
The Wild Coven is basically a gathering of wild witches to fight Belos, back in the days of the Savage Ages. His original goal was to prevent Belos and his followers from banning Wild Magic. The last uprising forced the remains of the Wild Coven to flee to unknown seas and lands (Iriy) to the north.
Exiled but not surrendered, they were able to settle on new lands. Нungry for revenge, they attack the Boiling Isles. Most often during the Blood Moon, storms, or before the holiday of the Winter Solstice (Yol).
Wild Coven Witches scorns the Emperor's Coven, Emperor Belos, and the branded witches (witches who support Belos' rule and the Coven system). And some witches even despise the Titan himself. Part of them (older generation mostly) want to return to the Boiling Isles, albeit by force, and also to repay those who drove them. The other members have come to terms with the fact that they will not return to the Boiling Isles. They are more happy to raid and loot the local population.
Most of the inhabitants of the Boiling Isles consider them to be ghosts, or some kind of temporary magical phenomenon.
Therefore, many try to avoid meeting with the Wild Coven.
The Emperor's Coven tried more than once to solve this problem, although the emperor himself did not consider it worthy of his attention. Belos believes that the rumors of the Wild Hunt or the Wild Coven are lies and excuses designed to undermine his power.
Despite this, some of the Emperor's Coven witches dared to hunt down the Wild Coven, wanting to end the wild witches once and for all. But only a few of them who survived and kept their minds could tell what exactly they faced. Others simply disappeared without a trace.
Designed for both covert movement and open combat. They do raids and reconnaissance.
Specific specialization is indicated by the color of the sleeves. (Same as in the coven system.) Healing - Blue. Abominations - Magenta. etc.
So most of the population of Iriy is illiterate, witches, unlike warriors, were taught to read and write.
The elite troops of the Wild Coven are shapeshifters, or, as they are also called, berserkers.
Witches who, with the help of magic, can turn into dangerous beasts. In battle, they are the vanguard of the Wild Coven, fearless and instilling fear into the enemy, ready to tear the enemy with claws and fangs, to strike with swords, axes and magic.
Emperor Belos wanted to destroy all shapeshifters, because they cannot be controlled. They will never be accountable to someone they do not consider their leader. And their magic cannot be blocked. Simple witches considered them bloodthirsty creatures who live by animal instincts and a thirst to kill. They were equated with the damned.
For years, shapeshifters endured persecution and extermination. Therefore, persecuted, they joined the ranks of the Wild Coven.
Other names: Steelskulls, bucketheads.
Also in the Wild Coven, demons and other creatures that do not possess magic are fighting. They are analogous to the Coven Guards. They perfectly compensate for absent magic with the possession of different types of cold weapons.
The armor was created after the expulsion of the Wild Coven from the Boiling Islands, that they could instill fear in the enemy.
Horns, feathers, and so on, only experienced warriors have the right to attach to their helmet.
"Bucketheads" - a joking nickname given to them due to the fact that their main recruitment is not the most educated population of Iriy. Although some warriors tried to learn to read and write.
The cavalry is the backbone of the Wild Coven strike force, designed for both raids and full-scale combat. Skillful tactics, modality and discipline make them a dangerous fighting unit.
Nightmares are used as a means of transportation, demonic horses that are easier to train than the Unicorn, and better tolerate the cold climate of Iriy.
Trivia: I was inspired by the myth of the Wild Hunt (Wilde Jagd). According to legend, the riders of the Wild Hunt are ghosts or elves or witches.
