“…immortal possessors of magickal talents, practitioners of good and evil.”
Witches, unlike common lore, are not mortals. They are a race unto themselves, though often intermingle with other immortal/Lore species. The male counterpart (though quite rare) is a Warlock.
As with other members of Lore society, they usually reach their immortality in their mid-twenties (or when they are at their 'prime'), and they are forbidden from instructing mortals of their true nature.
Like Valkyries, each Witch (or Warlock) receives a title upon reaching their immortality (for example, Siofra the Indomitable). It is usually a title that reflects the Witch's personality or appearance.
It could easily be said that Witches are the most light-hearted and mischievous of the Immortals, though this does not hold true when it comes to money. Witches and Warlocks sell their spells and abilities, and will never work for free. They are strictly forbidden, however, to create personal wealth or grant immortality.
Though some have been known to sidestep the immortality rule, it is very unusual, and highly frowned-upon by the High Council.
