The Crochans

The good witches lost their kingdom five hundred years ago. They spent every year since waiting to be proven right — and a half-Ironteeth queen finally proved them.

The Crochans — the red-cloaked witches who ride brooms, not wyverns. Five centuries ago the Ironteeth sacked their kingdom and their dying queen laid a curse; the whole long grievance ends with the last of her line born on the wrong side of the blood.

Allies, rivals and enemies — the ones this story crossed.

We're Caffeine and Curses. The Library started as my design research — I can't put Manon on a shirt without knowing which way the iron teeth snap — so we keep the notes here where everyone can use them. The pages are fan-made, not official; the licensed designs are in the shop.
