Lady
“Lady” is the only name ever known for the mysterious old woman who raised the tortle sorcerer Sharx. They spoke only Sylvan - a tongue of whistles, whispers, and strange sounds - and called one another simply “Lady” and “Young One.” She found him as a feverish foundling, judged him to carry a strange illness, and kept him alive with a flask of her own vitality that refilled each night.
Frail and in need of care, she nonetheless led the two of them across the world on a quiet crusade: to suppress the influence of Baba Yaga, stealing into hidden places, carrying off the hags’ hoarded oddments, and fighting the hags themselves. She vanished at a forest lake when the vine bearing her aloft burned away - yet the flask still fills, and so somewhere she may live on.
