  As Reggio was dragged up from what could have been his final resting place by Heather, with the waters still high and wind still fierce, the war between the two broods of witches had not even begun yet. Not too long before this, these two broods were one, having escaped their war torn world to settle into this new land, saved from the wrath of mankind by three saints, Ann, Claude and Bernard. The boat of Saint Ann was lost at sea, leaving only two to find this swamp.
