"Witches have been known to offer help to the questing adventurer, yet they are a reclusive people and have to be summoned by the aid of mystic Charms or Talismans." ― Excerpt from A GUIDE TO COVENS - for Witches and Witchcraft enthusiasts.

The Witch Talisman, also known as the Witches' Talisman, was a special item that could be used to summon Witches. Due to the territorial nature of Witches, it was most effective in areas with signs of their previous activity.

History

In 1386, Sir Daniel Fortesque found the Witch Talisman in the abandoned witches' coven under Cemetery Hill. He used it to summon the Forest Witch and the Pumpkin Witch.
