# Witch & Light (Mr. Witch and Mr. Light)

## Mr. Witch & Mr. Light
**Role:** Co-owners of the Witchlight Carnival  
**Race:** Human (Mr. Witch), Human (Mr. Light)

### Description
Mr. Witch is a tall, thin man who dresses in dark clothing and carries a cane. He speaks softly and moves with deliberate grace. Mr. Light is his opposite — colorful, boisterous, and always smiling. Together they run the Witchlight Carnival, a traveling extravaganza that visits the Material Plane once every eight years.

### What the Party Knows
- They are the public faces of the Carnival
- The Carnival has been visiting for decades, always under their management
- Something seems off about the Carnival this time around — the mood is darker, the attractions more sinister
- They appear to answer to someone (or something) else

### DM Notes
> *The pair made a bargain with Zybilna long ago. They owe their longevity and the Carnival itself to her patronage. With Zybilna frozen by the Hourglass Coven, the Carnival has begun to decay.*
