What to bring to the game - Witches
Keep in mind that the witches have arrived by foot from afar, so unless there are good reasons, you shouldn't have more props than your character can comfortably carry.
You should have with you:
- your character's costume
- bedding: two or more natural-coloured blankets (at least one to sleep on and one to sleep under) and a pillow. Your sleeping gear should be made of or coated with natural materials, such as wool or fur. The witches will be sleeping in tents, which are not heated and have no groung canvas, but there will be an ample amount of spruce branches on the ground to insulate and keep of moisture from the ground.
- a natural-coloured towel made of natural fabrics (linen is excellent, cotton is also good)
- necessary medication and personal hygiene items
- eating utensils: a wooden spoon, a plate, a drinking cup, and a knife for eating and preparing food. The plates and cups can be either wooden or ceramic, but shouldn't look too modern. You can also bring simple chopsticks if you wish.
- each witch pair should have one cooking pot for making food and magic potions. Decide with your shadow whom will bring it. Make sure that your pot is fire-proof.
- empty glass or earthenware bottles for magic potions
- herbs and other non-toxic ingredients for magic potions
You can also bring:
- magical and protecting amulets to carry on your belt or neck
- incense
- the customary whip of a witch. It should be leather or at least look convincingly of leather. Note that whips can't be used as ingame weapons.
- games typical for your faction ()
- tea ceremony equipment (not defined yet)
- additional cooking equipment, containers and suchlike suitable for the game world
- musical instruments
- other personal items of your character
