Witchcraft would be passed from mothers to daughters for generations and generations and eventually, those women would gather in clans that would become covens.Įver since the Merethic Era, witches covens have existed through what is nowadays High Rock and even extended to the rest of Tamriel -though with more discrestion. Little moon shone as Mara smiled 'Your love shall share my compassion so evil shall not reach her.'Īnd so the love of man and mer grew up to become the first witch, gifted with the ability to bend the forces of Mundus and Oblivion. The night shrouded the world in silence as Nocturnal whispered 'Your love shall be able to deceive.' The twilight shadows creeped as Azura promised 'Your love shall see more than what other see.' The setting sun stretched his rays as Magnus yawned 'Your love be blessed by my light to shine in the dark.' The wind blew as Kynareth hummed 'Your love may sing and I will hear.' The leaves of the trees swished as Y'ffre answered 'Your love shall live forever engraved in my bones.' Knowing what a terrible life the little girl would endure, her parents pleaded to the mighty spirits to show compassion for her and give her the strength to live, as proof of their love and hope of peace between men and mer.
It is said that the first witch was a girl born from a woman and an elf who truly loved each other in a time of strife between the two species.
