In her despair, the vile and bizarre Shudderwock stalks the land. When she dreams, the people of Gilneas have recurring nightmares of a great serpent that threatens to devour the moon.

When she rages, gnarled trees with jagged grins uproot themselves, and whole hillsides rise to lumber into the night. When she breathes, coils of glowing mist drift between tangled branches, and restless spirits wake from timeless slumber. When she speaks, every malignant thing in the woods bends an ear to listen. Somewhere, on the bank of a dank and deadly swamp in the depths of the forest, she waits. Is she indeed the source of the curse, as rumored? Or is she merely another one of its victims? Was she a survivor of some great battle who dragged herself deep into the forest and fell prey to dark magic? A wicked manifestation of the forest’s anger, furious with intruders and despoilers? An unusually skilled shaman, whose ambition and desire for vengeance have outstripped all good sense? We do not know much about Hagatha’s true nature. Hobbies: Croc-het, homebrewing, debating the plural form of “Shaman” Still, even the slightest knowledge of who’s who could be just the edge you need to survive the curse. After all, in these dark times, rumors fly like a murder of crows. The source of the following dossiers is a mystery, and it is uncertain whether you should actually even trust the information contained herein. Fortunately for you, such knowledge has mysteriously materialized. As you prepare to face the evil in The Witchwood, it would be wise to arm yourself with knowledge of the key players in this unfolding conflict.
