Antwerp
From Circle Of The Crone
the melancholy waters lie. So blend the shadows and turrets there, that all seem pendulent in air. While from a proud tower in the town, Death looks gigantically down...

The Circle Of The Crone in Antwerpen
Many things have changed in Antwerp since the legendary Ligardis and her Grey Rider ruled the Antwerp Coven. After their decade long disappearance the precense of the Circle waned until the return of Jack Waterhouse and his coterie. Quickly the ranks of the Circle rose again. Of that second coming only Dokisha remains, who is now the Hierophant of the "second generation" crones after Ligardis.
The Antwerp coven is seen as an unruly lot, but their faith to the Goddess, despite their refusal to follow the rules, often even those of the Covenant, remains unquestionable.
The coven deity is the Celtic Goddess The Morrigan.
The Antwerp Coven is known to be the warrior coven of Belgium, and can easily ready itself for war. They house the Low Lands department of the Ravens, as well as the legendary Order of the Blade (formerly known as the Blade Masters).
Not just a warrior coven, Anwerp has known, and still knows some of the most formidable sorcerors in Europe. And then we're not talking about just Cruac...
