The Daughters of Isis

Background

The Daughters of Isis is one of the oldest continuous witches' covens in existence, having been founded a few centuries B.C.  Originally, they were headquartered out of Alexandria, Egypt.  However, with the coming of Islam the coven moved its base of operations into Europe, and then, sometime in the 18th century to New Orleans, Louisiana.  As the name suggests, the Daughters of Isis are all female.  The group has recently added its first non-human to its ranks — a lizard-woman shaman from the Scaleyville settlement north of New Orleans.

The rise of The Order has alarmed the The Daughters of Isis.  Recently, the latter have managed to infiltrate a few of their members into The Order in an effort to divine that organization's intentions.

Special Operations

The Daughters of Isis have little use for mercenaries, although a group might be hired to locate and secure certain items the Daughters need.  Individual members may also hire teams for various missions, though these missions may or may not be sanctioned by the organization.

Freelancers

The Daughters of Isis are members of the organization for life, so there are technically no "former members" available to freelance.  However, the organization is very loose, and individual members often pursue their own agendas.

Character Generation

Only female characters can join the Daughters of Isis, and then only those who are mystics.  Otherwise, members can be of any background.
