    Keys: Caliban

    The Sisters of Caliban originated in the 1950s as a commune of women seeking refuge from societal control in Lacuna Bay's Gloamwood, practicing herbalism and earth-based spirituality while developing rituals connecting to the Aetheric Phantasma. After flourishing during the counterculture movement of the 1960s, the collective was infiltrated and fractured in the early 1970s by government agencies connected to Heinrich Nacht's programs, fading into local legend until a recent revival through a mysterious social media presence using the handle @SisterCaliban. The modern incarnation attracts young women making pilgrimages to the Gloamwood's edge, leaving offerings and seeking guidance from what may be the original collective's knowledge, preserved through decades by the reclusive Gretschel.
