Baba Yaga

Baba Yaga

Title	The Mother of all Hags
Realm	The [[Plane-Feywyld
Domain	Hags, bargains, witchcraft, the wild
Alignment	Neutral Evil
Status	Active

Baba Yaga is an ancient and immensely powerful being of the Feywyld, named in dark tale the “Mother of all Hags” - though whether she truly mothered hag-kind or merely came to rule it is a thing some who study her insist is exaggerated. Apart from the fey courts dwell the hags, and it is Baba Yaga who leads them: despised by the rest of the fey, and fonder of bargains even than the bargain-loving folk around her.

Influence

Baba Yaga is a schemer of the most patient and manipulative kind, and her reach runs through the covens of hags scattered across the world - each striking its own cruel bargains, each (knowingly or not) a thread in some larger design. So feared is that design that a few rare souls have given their lives to suppressing her influence - hunting hags, carrying off the strange instruments they hoard, and undoing her bargains before they ripen. What she ultimately wants, none of them have ever been certain.

Powerful Hags

The most powerful hags known in the present age include Baba Yaga herself; her daughters Tasha Yaga, Skabatha Nightshade, Bavlorna Blightstraw, and Endelyn Moongrave; Urphania; and Maatar, also called Lady Earth. Both Urphania and Maatar were once active but are no longer active in the present day. Some of these hags may have held comparable power in earlier ages as well.
