Witchfather to Abigail Bellweather, A Biddy's Life
Before we leave, there's something I wanted to give you. It's the Scourge Porter made. It's clear no other witch deserves it more than you. I can't think of any other way that would best honor his memory.

Witchfather directing is his men, Mother Mycelium
Everywhere we went, the way the civilians looked at us, the pitchforks were almost out, if you get my meaning. And between us, I've heard whispers about a growing debate in Congress to revoke the Accord and disband the Army. How could they justify that?
