Hathran

Hathran is a special prestige class on Faerûn

Also called the Witches of Rashemen, Hathrans are an elite class of female spellcasters who rule over Rashemen and protect their people against the invasions of greedy Thayan wizards.

They develop a bond with their land that gives them exceptional power, as long as they don't leave their homeland. They have to adopt some strict rules, like wearing a mask to conceal thair face when travelling outside Rashemen or refusing to craft magic items (an activity that is restricted to the order of male spellcasters). They may use circle magic, speak freely with spirits and even sometime use their bond outside Rashemen as they grow in power.
