Even ordinary witches around these villages will gather together to support one another and the village they are linked to as the Chief Witch has managed to alienate a certain type of witch altogether. These tend to be the witches who focus on healing/medicinal works and Fresdian and Eileen get on very well with them.
Sprites such as Wes and Stan are used in villages as a look out and ther speed at running is useful in getting a warning back to others. It's the only time sprites arae taken seriously.
