Chapter 1: Witch
Three old crones stoop over a boiling cauldron
filled with all manner of bizarre filth, churning
and bubbling with a noxious fume. In the smoke
and vapor above the pot, the trio can make out
shapes and figures of great import, and one
even cackles loudly at what she sees.
A young girl sits underneath a tree, far
from where the other children play. She glances
about to make sure noone is watching, and snaps
her fingers once to the empty air. After a moment
of silence, a black cat appears around the tree's
bend and locks eyes with the girl, staring with a
strange intelligence for a long moment. She gestures
at one of the playing children, a heavy-set boy with a
permanently affixed scowl; the cat understands. It wanders
close to the boy, stretches its claws, and gets very low,
ready to pounce for the boy's eyes.
A young elf intently mutters something underneath his
breath each time he exhales. Visible only to him, a string of
the foulest magic winds out from him and seizes a charging
orc, which drops to its knees in agony.
Witches are stricken by magic so dark it imprints a
lasting shadow upon their essence. Through force of
personality alone, they can spin this darkness outward,
hexing creatures, casting manipulative spells, and even
commanding a familiar with their thoughts.

Chapter 2: Familiars
The idea of a witch is inseparable from their familiar. The
fluidity and ease by which they command a summoned
companion makes it almost an extension of the witch's self;
a second set of eyes and a willing set of claws for any
dangerous situation. And while many witches opt to
summon inconspicuous familiars, like cats, frogs, and owls,
even more gather their focus while conjuring to bring forth
creatures from the furthest reaches of the multiverse or to
bestow sentience on an inanimate object.
This chapter contains additional familiars that can be
summoned by a witch. The brass dragon wyrmling, grep,
imp, quasit, or spook can only be summoned by a witch Imp
starting at 7th level. Familiar
⎯ ⎯ ⎯

Even the smallest of dragons are loathed to be

summoned by mortal spellcasters, with the
exception of brass dragons, which crave
adventure and interaction outside of their
lonesome lairs. Therefore, brass dragon wyrmlings
can be conjured as familiars by witches seeking a
powerful companion.

 Erebus
Erebus has many names: The Dark One, the Shadow
Undead Interminable, Firstborn of Chaos, and the Last Primordial.
Berserker His appearance shall certainly spell doom for the world and

Firstborn of Chaos. From Chaos the world was born,
and once again to Chaos shall it return.
Before the primeval gods laid the universe's
foundations, a groundwork upon which they could shape
and form the interminable Chaos, they devised a failsafe to
ensure their success. Before all else, they drew forth
Erebus, a being of unmaking, from the Chaos to unravel
and destroy their creations. For the gods, in their infinite
wisdom, realized that not even they could forge a perfect
world on the first try – indeed, countless universes were
created and discarded before the gods settled for the current
one, with its particular compromises and imperfections.

Its outer skin – if it can be called that – is stretched relief
of tortured faces, whose mouths are frozen in an eternal
