The Riven Lands

A striking Elf woman whose wild hair is decorated with marsh flowers that bloom and wither in response to her emotions, creating a constantly changing crown of natural beauty and decay. Her tattered robes shift patterns and colors like living camouflage, making her nearly invisible in natural settings. Numerous tattoos cover her skin in symbols that move and change, serving as anchors for supernatural contracts with entities from darker dimensions. Her amber eyes reflect not the current scene but glimpses of possible futures, most of them involving her viewers' painful deaths.

Mystical and ruthless with genuine connection to supernatural forces that demand blood payment for their assistance in protecting sacred lands. Takes artistic pride in creating illusions that don't just deceive but actively drive victims insane with visions of their own moral corruption. Views her criminal activities as religious obligations to powers that existed long before human concepts of law and morality, making her completely indifferent to conventional ethics.

Daughter of an ancient line of bog witches who maintained the balance between the material world and darker realms, Morrigan inherited powerful illusion magic tied to primordial forces that predate civilization. When colonists began draining sacred wetlands to build settlements, she discovered her ancestral duty required protecting the swamps through systematic elimination of intruders. Her illusions now serve not just to confuse and rob travelers, but to harvest their life force for feeding the hungry spirits that guard the ancient boundaries between worlds.
