The Coven of Shadows and The Essence: A Guide

In the shrouded veil of moonlight’s embrace, where shadows entwine with the silent lamentations of the forgotten, the Coven of Shadows dwells—a congregation of beings eternal, whose sustenance lies not in mortal fare, but in the spectral vitality known as The Essence. Heed, ye seekers of this arcane path, for herein lies the guide to mastering the delicate art of Essence extraction, a practice both sublime and perilous.

The Call of the Coven: The journey begins with the whisper of the night wind, carrying the invocation to join the hallowed ranks of the Coven. Mortals who dare to tread this darkened path must surrender their fleeting innocence, embracing the eternal hunger that binds the cursed. Upon your initiation, the sigil of the Ouroboros shall mark your existence—a serpent devouring its own tail, symbolizing the eternal cycle of give and take.

What Is The Essence? The Essence, an ephemeral vapor of life’s very marrow, is drawn from the souls of mortals. Invisible to the untrained eye yet radiant to the Coven’s sight, it manifests as tendrils of shimmering light, coiling and writhing with the vitality of those from whom it is taken. To the Coven, it is both sustenance and elixir, fueling their immortal forms while deepening their ties to the nocturnal void.

...

A Final Lamentation: And so, the night calls to thee, a siren’s wail in the void. Wilt thou join the Coven and partake in its dark feast, or shalt thou flee into the arms of fleeting mortality? Choose wisely, for the path once taken cannot be untrodden, and the hunger, once awakened, cannot be stilled.

For within the heart of darkness, The Essence awaits.
