Here us some lore for you:

There are many dangers out there for witches also for any stray familiars. Monster hunters and Witch hunters being the main issue, these are humans who are equipped with weapons specifically designed to handle mythical creatures such as familiars and combat or slay witches. Witch hunters and Monster hunters Will kidnap, kill, torture, or even Experiment on a witch or familiar if they get their hands on her/him. They are not the only danger there are also other mythical creatures that don't get along well with witches to put it simply the outside world for witches is not safe which is why here in the Coven Empire, a two Continental size Island Floating in the skies they are safe from the dangers of the beings below. There are still minor creatures here an there mainly controlled and used as training sources for young apprentices and familiar.
