The Ashcroft Witch Panic

Mere Ash · Orchard Ditch

From 4378 A.C. a witch panic ran its course, and the hangings it brought were two, the one at Mere Ash and the other at Orchard Ditch. In any strength it never reached the High South belt; its memory did. There it schooled the Ladies, the women the country recognises as able to treat with the powers that hold its land, in the rule they practise yet: let several parishes know you and stand in your debt, and let no single one have the whole use of you.
