General Info

Faction Name	The Owl House

"House of Owls" is a wonderful and vibrant world located in the Boiling Isles. It's a world where magical bubbles burst from every corner and whimsical creatures like talking sparrows and giant snails go about their daily lives. At its center is the eponymous Casa del Gufo, a charming abode full of charming idiosyncrasies. She is an anomaly, tough and stubborn - like her inhabitants - refusing to bow to the coven system. The House of Owls is a safe haven and training ground for the free-spirited, rebellious witch Eda, her ward Luz, a girl from Earth, and the king, a lovable demon with visions of world domination. Here they unite against tyrannical forces, break social norms and redefine what it means to be a witch. House of Owls is much more than a faction. It redefines family and reflects the very essence of home: a place where you are loved and accepted for who you are.

History

House of Owls is set in a magical universe called the Demon Realm, centered around the titular House of Owls. Its history spans many centuries, forged with enchantments and mysteries.
Originally, this universe did not differentiate between witches and demons. All the magical beings existed together, drawing their powers from the surrounding magical energy known as 'Gil', which could be found in every corner of the Demon Realm. It was a time of pure magic, unaffected by social structures or class distinctions. However, the emergence of the powerful Witch Emperor Belos brought new orders in the Demon Realm. Belos claimed to have received visions of an unfathomable entity known as the Titan, the earth beneath everyone's feet, who commanded him to unite the citizens of the demon kingdom into one system of magic and law.
Belos forced the use of magical bile through bi-sacs, translating everyone's magic through specially crafted artifact wands in an attempt to "civilize wild magic." This transition also introduced the classification of magical beings: those who could cast magic through bisac were called witches, and the rest were called demons.
This rigid structure of magic led to a proliferation of conventions. Covens are witches' societal organizations that focus on a particular type of magic, and Belos is dominant. For example, the most prestigious coven - the Emperor's Coven - offers its members the ability to perform all kinds of magic.
But a young man named Luz comes into this world with a different approach to magic: casting spells by drawing them. This new approach threatens to disrupt the status quo and suggests a rebellion against the coven system, the Emperor, and his control. This man, along with the residents of the Owl House, is at the forefront of change, feeding off the ever-changing history of the Demon Realm. As such, the deep-rooted story of the House of Owls universe is a fascinating tale of magic, power, rebellion and change, providing a diverse and compelling setting for the series.

Geography

The flora of the Boiling Isles is just as interesting, from the mysterious but beautiful bloodthirsty blooming hearts to the glow-in-the-dark mushrooms. The town of Bonesborough is located in the center of the islands and is home to various magical creatures, witches and demons. It is a bustling center of commerce, education and culture.

Despite their dark and foreboding essence, the islands are an example of unity in diversity.
