Editing Hira of the Seven

[[The Wilderlands of Absalom]]

Assigned to Karag's dominion a decade ago by her family, the witch-woman Hira of the Seven keeps account of the raider's victories, caring for those in his command and making peace with the mystical entities stirred up by his conquering passage. While no crone, her hair is snow white, making her appear ageless.
