The Prophecy of the Witch Queen

Lore & Background

Deep within the historical records of the Witch Country, texts describe the first witches as figures who mastered mana before the formalization of grimoires. Their power was so profound that it is said to have influenced the creation of modern magic systems. The lore suggests a deep, often overlooked connection between the Silva bloodline and this ancient witchcraft; Noelle's Water Magic bears the distinct signature of the Witch Queen's influence, contradicting claims that the family crest has no relation to these traditions. This lore often intersects with the history of demons and angels in the world's theology. It suggests that the first witches acted as a counterbalance to dark entities long before the current conflict between Clover Kingdom forces and demonic threats. Her story serves as both a warning and a beacon for those who seek to understand the true origins of their magical abilities, though no specific 'Prophecy of the Witch Queen' text exists in official archives.

In Their Own Story

The candlelight flickered against stone walls lined with forbidden scrolls. An elder witch traced her finger over faded runes, whispering names long forgotten by the common folk. 'She walks among us,' she murmured, eyes closed as if sensing a distant hum in the air. 'Not in flesh, but in blood.' Outside, the wind howled through the forest, carrying the scent of ozone and old magic. The prophecy was not written in ink, but felt in the mana that surged through the veins of those who dared to dream of changing history.

Reader's Guide

The Magic Kingdom's history is built on layers of theological concepts regarding mana and its origin. Ancient legends suggest a time before grimoires when mages drew power directly from their souls without external tools. This period is associated with the Witch Queen, who supposedly established the first laws governing magical energy. Theological scholars debate whether she was a divine entity or merely a human who transcended normal limitations through sheer will and training. Modern magic users often overlook this history, focusing instead on current grimoire mechanics. However, the Witch Tribe maintains that understanding these ancestral roots is vital for unlocking higher tiers of power. This belief drives their isolationism and intense training regimens. The prophecy implies a future convergence where ancient bloodlines will rise to meet new threats. Whether this refers to a literal resurrection or a metaphorical awakening remains one of the world's greatest mysteries.
