Portrait
Who they are
Morgantha is a totally benign, perfectly kind old woman with a cart she pushes up and down the Old Svalich Road, from which she peddles her wares: dream pastries!
What the party knows
- Lives at the grain mill known locally as Old Bonegrinder with her two daughters
- Current target demographic: desperate Barovian refugees gathered outside Vallaki’s Mourning (eastern) Gate. Although, she has no regrets about selling to the impoverished folk dwelling within the town walls, either.
Personality
- Polite, sweet, but she ain’t takin’ no shit.
Where we’ve seen them
- Session 03 - Kolyan’s Burial — she sold a pastry to Varnish
- Session 8
- Session 13 - The Lost and The Found (Neyavr 4) - Victor Vallakovich informed the party that Erasmus had spotted Morgantha haunting the Refugee Camp, identifying her as a night hag. This intelligence revealed that Morgantha possesses a heartstone—a crucial component needed for the ritual to rescue Stella Wachter’s soul from the Ethereal Plane.
- Session 15 - Killing Izek (Neyavr 5, Morning) - The party learned from Franz about his recurring nightmare featuring an “onyx stone,” which Victor identified as likely Morgantha’s heartstone. Victor also showed the party a blueprint of Old Bonegrinder from the Baron’s library, revealing a hidden compartment in the millstone where the hags’ coven contract might be stored. These discoveries furthered the party’s plans to confront Morgantha and obtain her heartstone.
