Enclaves
Appearance
Enclaves are areas within the mundane where many wix families reside and where Betwixt business is done. Think in terms of areas like China Town or Little Italy, except enclaves are secret from the mundane. They are dependent on geography.
Some enclaves are urban neighborhoods whilst others are villages. Not all wix families live in enclaves but they may nonetheless have an association with their closest enclave.
Enclaves may be associated with certain Houses. The children of an enclave tend to attend the same coven.
Known Enclaves
Edinburgh
- Little Twist
- A large older urban enclave in the city of Edinburgh and like other urban enclaves is somewhat House agnostic.
- Candlestick Row
- Technically an enclave but more of a commercial district. There are are some residential flats in this neighborhood.
Northumberland
- Catswall Bridge
- All-wix village focused around the coven of Twelvetrees. This region is strongly associated with House Hadrian.
Newcastle
- The Keyes
- City enclave in Newcastle closed associated with the large and well-known House Hadrian.
Lancashire
- Rural enclaves
- There are several rural enclaves in Lancashire such as Lune, Longwick, and Crowcroft. These are associated with the old minor houses of Bailrigg and Lakewood.
London
- Thistletwaite
- A large enclave encompassing the well-to-do neighbourhoods of North London. Many families here are associated with House of Severn but this enclave is very diverse and includes smaller, less notable houses. Wixes of Thistlewaite don’t always have much camaraderie with each other. There is a lot of inside snobbery, feuds and old drama.
South of England
- Silverscale
- In Reading, Berkshire. Associated with the Old Burrow coven in nearby Oxfordshire.
