Green Hag
- Heidrun is actually a Green Unknown, illusionary disguised as a Unknown, due to the (frankly justified) preconceptions about her vicious, jealous kind. She doesn't share many of their views and goals however, and prefers to spend her days brewing and cooking.
- She retains most of the Green Hag abilities and spells, but has a higher level (probably 7) and herbalism-related skills and feats. She knows additional spells (mostly used for cooking, cleaning, gardening etc, but also for curses), and the Blight ritual. Her Change Shape can turn her into a goat. Exhale Miasma / Enfeebling Humours can be used in the goat form, and are shown as the rotting flowers that grow from her ribs and horns showering her targets with pollen.
- She is not in a Hag Coven; she might have been in one with her mother, but that's long in the past
| Green Hags hate beauty and purity, so they use disguises and treachery to lure and murder innocents, corrupt the pure of heart, and shatter the minds and morals of their victims. Green Hags create imaginative schemes to utterly ruin anyone who crosses them, as well as good or righteous folk whose very existence insults the Hag’s twisted sensibilities. The complicated scandals perpetuated by Green Hags involve impersonation, mistaken identity, the seduction and betrayal of loved ones, or all these things in combination. |
Family
- She used to be an actual Satyr, a Callow May Changeling born of another Green Hag. As she grew older, she started hearing the Call, and joined her mother eventually, turning into a Hag as well. She kept her previous appearance as her illusionary disguise.
- Together with her mother, she created her Familiar called Ratatouille; a Unknown by the name of A Chip Off the Old Block Will Blossom Anew; and a Unknown named Olera the Nourishing. Heidrun views them as her half-siblings, and they are one of the main reasons why she enrolled in Midday Meal Mayhem of Meridian in the first place.
- Ratatouille fell into a cauldron once when Heidrun was brewing a language-related potion, and got permanently infused with an effect similar to the Tongues spell, so he innately comprehends and speaks all languages, including Old World Common.
Enchanted Kitchen
- Heidrun animates and enchants her kitchen to help her with cooking, because she prefers working alone or with her Familiar, Ratatouille. She has a number of Lucky Kitchen Witches hanging in the room. Her Animated Oven can protect the kitchen, and her utensils, kitchenware and cutlery can swarm and dance around, and even currently prepared food, such as yeast and dough, can come to life.
- Her cauldron is special, and uses this statblock. It contains the soul of a Boggard named Croakpot, who slighted her in the past, whom she cursed. He would visit her herb garden and routinely steal her produce. She caught him multiple times, letting him go because he claimed that he was stealing food for his wife, but then she discovered that this was a lie, and he was a simple glutton and addict. As poetic punishment, she turned him into her cauldron. Heidrun nicknamed him "Toadstool", "Froglegs", "Tadpole", and "Croakpot". Sometimes, especially when the Boggard is more active, the cauldron grows mossy, and the face on its surface becomes more toad-like.
Other Information
- She is based on Heiðrún, a goat in Norse mythology, who produces mead for the Einherjar and the gods. This is reflected through her being a Satyr, being able to turn into a goat, and being a brewer and producer of nourishment.
- Another inspiration is the Witch from the "Into the Woods" musical. This is somewhat reflected through her personality, her herbalism lore and gardening skills, her curses, and the Boggard punished for stealing from her garden.
