Sisters of the Torch

The Sisters of the Torch are a coven of pyromancers who pay homage to an intermediate fire spirit. Each one bears rings forged from the spirit once initiated and their group consists of mostly wives, businesswomen, mothers and lawyers, those who join often do it for connections and confidence, citing that walking down the street and knowing they can set someone who attacks them on fire does wonders.<ref> - Excerpt from Void 7.2</ref>

As far as practitioners go, they aren't seen as devoted or proficient, devoting only two hours a week to learning, but they provide Terracotta Soldiers in service to Conquest in order to do business. During the contest in Toronto, their current leader, Elder Sister, was chosen as a champion and the rest sided with her.

The full members wear deep burgundy robe with one sleeve longer than the other and their faces are largely hidden, except for their lips, which were painted red. Initiates wear less ornate robes with hoods covering their eyes, and are sleeveless and ringless.

They lost their original Fire Spirit in the war between Conquest and Thorburn; it took up residence in one of the Astrologer's machines.<ref>“Apparently the sisters have this elemental they all use in their rituals.  An intermediate flame spirit, the eponymous ‘torch’ of the group, their go-to power source.  J.P. went for a walk, came back, and the elemental decided it wanted to set up shop in one of the Astrologer’s pieces of equipment, rather than the housing they’d prepared for it.  Apparently there’s a lot of power flowing through her systems at the moment, enough to bait an Elemental closer.”

“She’s not giving the elemental back, I take it?” I asked.

“The equipment was handed down to her by her teacher and master.  It’s sentimental and it’s a huge aspect of her power base.  No, she’s not giving it back.” - Excerpt from Void 7.4</ref> They apparently formed a new partnership with The Eye.
