Black Alice is one of the the three Alice sisters, a triplet of very powerful witches. Black Alice generally presents herself humbly as either an old wizened woman or a striking middle aged matron. She is rumored to have deep insight snd mastery over the spirit world.
Originally hailing from Valoria, Black Alice travelled over the sea to the The Thousand Isles where she lived for many years. At some pint for some unknown reason she left that region and has not been seen for over a century..
Scattered across Mythras and beyond are literally hundreds of folk tales about the exploits of the Black Alice and her sisters, to the point where studying them all is considered a difficult to impossible task, even for the Valorian bards of the The Ensemble.
Many of these stories are contradictory, sometimes even having different opinions on which Alice is the protagonist. Some members of the Ensemble even think there is only one Alice (probably the Red one they agree), that the others are figments or suppressed personalities or “some weird ass magic shit” as Rufus the Well Travelled says.
All the stories agree that there were three sisters, Red Alice, Black Alice and White Alice.
