The origins of the Balorian Witches are shrouded in myth. It is said they were the first to harness the power of the [[Teleka Nexus]], a mystical energy source located on [[Baloria]]. The Witches claim descent from the mythical First Witch, who tamed the nexus and forged the societal order that persists to this day. Historical records indicate their rise began shortly after Baloria transitioned from a penal colony to a thriving, self-sustaining civilization. | The origins of the Balorian Witches are shrouded in myth.
