Coven Derwen Coven Derwen’s origins are deeply tied to the Ancient Druids. They formed out of a splinter-group of mage-druids who formed in resistance to the Roman occupation of Chester, which is only a f…

And you can also take a quiz to find out what coven you belong to, here: uquiz.com/quiz/y7IZvz/...

Based in their Purlieu Deva, on the border between the North of Wales and England, Coven Derwen predates the Alliance of the Twelve by at least three centuries. Originally a mix of mages and celtic druids, the coven has a strong tradition of storytelling and places a high value on both tradition and innovation. Derwen and Quickbeam were the instigators for the formation of the Alliance. Their colour is purple, inspired by the purple-grey dye which can be made from oak galls, and the signet stones offered to new mages at their Kinning Ceremony are usually amethysts, but purple quartz is also common. Their henge is made of oak trees, which are their coven-sacred tree because of oak's associations with wisdom, knowledge and authority. Derwen is a monarchal coven; its seat at the Table of Seven-Once-Twelve runs down the line of the Howell ap Derwen family, who have been around since the days of the Alliance. The oldest living member of the main family line inherits the seat regardless of their gender. There have been a few historical disputes about lineage, but these have stemmed from claims made by illegitimate children.

There were once too many covens of mages to count. After the fall of the Roman Empire, a struggle for power in the magical community led to the Alliance of Twelve, who would go on to outlast all the others. Now only a few remain; the Seven-Once-Twelve. Each coven has its own Purlieu; a seperate mage-only community from which each coven controls its people and preserves its own traditions. One thing they share in common is that they each have a seat at the Table of the Seven-Once-Twelve, and so a vote in matters that effect all mages, regardless of their coven. How each coven selects its sitting member of the Table is unique; some are monarchal, passed down through ancient bloodlines. Others vote on which mage should take the seat. Some are selected at random from a pool of potentials in a lottery of fate. Still others are decided the most ancient way of all; by duel. Only one thing is consistent; all must have studied at Twelvelms University of Hermetics to be elgible for a seat at the Table.

He's struggling to balance his gratitude for all the opportunities being offered to him now against the pressure of needing to keep huge parts of his identity secret.

Someone has already made some GORGEOUS fanart of Cyan: www.tumblr.com/btbluetanger...

Before he came to Twelvelms, Cyan's life was dark and deeply constricted. Despite the scrutiny and the pressure of his new situation, Cyan has more freedom at Twelvelms than he's ever had before.

Not only does Cyan have no idea what any of his classes are about, he doesn't really understand the complex social strata he's been thrust into the middle of. One thing is pretty clear though; he's not supposed to be at Twelvelms and everyone knows it. Especially him.

Cyan Goodman by Eira on Apple Music Playlist · 10 Songs

Cyan wasn't just a newcomer at Twelvelms itself, but to the whole world of magic. British magedom is insular and inward looking, cut off from the unmage world and obsessed with its own internal hierarchies.

Here's a little playlist themed around Cyan's character: music.apple.com/gb/playlist/...

SPONSOR A BLORBO Cyan Goodman (he/him) I spent six hours with this guy and I got nothing, does anyone one know ANYTHING about this kid? For real? Like what's his whole deal!? I invited him to sit with me at lunch and he just sat there and at the end he just got up and walked away, didn't even say goodbye or anything like what is going on with this guy? For real? Cyan will charm those with a preference for... Breathing: Conclusively, he SEEMS to breathe. If he's an anaerobic lifeform he's really good at hiding it so top marks for that I guess! Occupying space: He also seems to have physical mass in that he has an extension in all three dimensions. He's for sure present and not an appirition so there's that! Sense of mystery: Yeah you're really going to need this one if you're going to take him on because oh BOY. I tried to ask him about the weather and he just said 'I didn't really notice'. Seriously. Key Personality Traits: SUS. who just SHOWS UP like that fr? nice enough ig, he's not openly an arsehole so yeah. personable (crossed out). #1 international man of mystery Sponsor Cyan or another blorbo TODAY by supporting Hanging Sloth on Patreon at patreon.com/hangingslothstudios

Twelvelms Tuesday #2!

This week the focus is on our protagonist, Cyan Goodman.

Cyan narrates the story from some kind of safehouse, where his only company is a small baby who is soothed only by the sound of his voice. He tells the baby the story of his time at Twelvelms University of Hermetics.
