Gethzerion taught her pupils that the anicent text, the Book of Law, was created by Allya after she had become old and weak. That Allya's power had always been of her own ends, and that when she began to lose control of senses, she fell into a world of self-pity and despair. A place, according to Gethzerion, no self-respecting Witch would allow herself to stumble into.
Gethzerion began compiling her own tome of learning. She created speels for her Nightsisters, and would make them practice their chants and songs until they were hoarse. Only a very few of their kind were allowed to assist in the writing of the Book of Shadows. From the beginning Gethzerion knew she would one day leave Dathomir, taking her army of Nightsisters with her. The Nightsisters were convinced that the other Witch clans were below them, weak and insubstantial. They found their power grew quickly, and while their flesh wilted into haggard, brusied and wrinkled husks, the shadowy energy they could bring forth gave them a twisted sense of joy no other Witch on Dathomir could possibly know.
