The Clawthorne Workshop
The oldest workshop of the Boiling Isles, lays abandoned and in ruin deep in the forests of the Titan's right arm, on the outskirts of the capital: Bones'yard.
The last recorded members of the Workshop were the Clawthorne Sisters with their friend and associate Raine Whisper.
Eldest daughter and hope of the Clawthorne Family, Lilith always resented the burden of being the firstborn of a decaying family, and aspired to one day join the Blood Coven, dream that led the young woman to spend as much time on tomes and ancient scrolls as training with sword and pistol.
And yet she executed her role as head of the Family with impeccable zeal, leading countless raids and Hunts with her younger sister Eda and friend Raine; until one day the Vicar himself took notice of the trio's successes, offering Lilith a place in the Hunters of the Blood Coven, until she rised to the rank of Captain and, finally, of Blood Nun.
As the firstborn of the Clawthorne Family, the Holy Moonraven is Lilith's birthright.
An ancient longsword imbued with the arcane power of the moon, discovered by the early Clawthornes deep in the forgotten labyrinth that sprawl beneath the Titan's skull. Very few brave souls have made it out of the wretched maze, with rumors that death is not the sole reason of their disappearance, and that the endless darkness is home to eldritch beings from other worlds...
Accompanied to the sword is Curse Caster, a standard firearm of the Clawthorne, crafted by Lilith's father, one of the last creations of the Old Hunter.
The youngest and most famous daughter of the Clawthorne Family.
Eccentric, sassy and rebellious, to her sister's exasperation and everyone else's admiration, she face each dark night of Hunt with unmatched confidence and abandon, bathing in the blood and guts of the beasts she slay with her owl shaped scythe.
Her weapon, lethality and supernatural silence, broken only by her laugh when her preys lay dead, have warranted her the nickname of Owl Lady, a motiff she fully embraced with her cloack, hairs and hat that resemble the feathers of such birds of prey.
For her successes, the Vicar himself appointed her the title as Deadliest Huntress of the Boiling Isles, the gifted shawl a symbol of her prowess in combat.
Her signature weapon, Owlblade, the last crafted by her father for her sixteen birthday, the same woefull day that he gifted her his own old blunderbuss, Cardinal Sin, the first day both of those weapons tasted blood and the last she would ever use the gun... resorting instead in using her own, raw, magic as ranged weapon during the Hunt.
The handle of the scythe is made from extremely rare palismen wood, a material used in archaic times to create magic staffs. While the intent of such material was purely an aesthetic choice, the Owl Lady would take advantage of the weapon's properties to boost her spells and incantations during the Hunt.
The Workshop do not provide only for the Family, but also used to accept lonely Hunters that were not part of the Blood Coven or any other Workshop and Syndicate.
Such example was the Hunter Raine Whispers, childhood friend of Eda, accepted at the Workshop as member of the family, later on affectionate lover of the huntress and trusted comrade during the nights of hunt.
As a passionate musician, they were gifted with a customized weapon: a wristblade that when pulled and shifted to the left arm transforms into a bow that channels Bard's magic into extremely sharps and deadly sonic projectiles.
Some others examples of weapons that the Clawthorne Workshop used to create for the Hunters.
The Workshop.
Forge, storage, safe haven for hunters where they would congregate to enhance their weapons and flesh.
Built from what in old times was the home of a lonely witch named Evelyn, it went under numerous renovations and expansions, the most notable the large, stoney, gothic cottage that act as living quarters of the inhabitants, with the older tower and building working as forge, laboratory and storage area for the hunters.
In the later years of the Workshop, it was home of the last surviving members of the Family, Dell Clawthorne, his wife Gwendolyn, their daughters Edalyn and Lilith and Eda's friend Raine.
Now no one remains in the ramshackled building, hidden deep within the forest, ever shrouded by pale mist and rumored to be haunted by unsettling and paranormal creatures... its walls witness of unspeakable horrors, gut wrenching tragedies and dark secrets.
_____________________________________________________________
This one took a while... both because It was a lot of work to make and because I had to wait for the previous pool to end, so here it is, the look at the Clawthornes and their role in the Owlborne AU!!...
...but wait, it feels... incomplete? Where are Gwendolyn? Where is Dell? What about... Evelyn? And if the Workshop is abandoned and the Clawthornes are no more, where did Luz get his weapons? Why doesn't Luz understand those rumors when she lives there with Eda herself...? What... what secret beckons her? O-of course she remembers where the house is! She just has to take the lantern and turn left... that specific lanter that... is always there... when she needs it... sometimes in the corner of a square, sometimes in a dark alley... sometimes on the side of a road in the forest... who...
is offering Luz the Eye of a Blood Drunked Hunter... will she accept it?
