Backstory
The Witch Who Lived
Also known as Tasha the Dark, Iggwilv is a legendary, realm-renowned archmage, demonologist, and siren. She famously wrote the Demonomicon of Iggwilv, a tome on demonic lore. Across historical texts, Tasha is considered one of the most powerful beings in what is described as the multiverse. A creator of spells, traveler of dimensions, and seer into the multiverse plane and all its threads. One of many tellings of Tasha's childhood was that she was a fey who was taken in by Baba Yaga. She was raised during the tumultuous Age of Arcana and became an oracle to an unknown king. It is said that she was among the oracles hunted during the aftermath of the War of Western Kings. While many of her sisters burned around her, Tasha would go on to establish the Siren Order and fight back.
Moonlight and Starshine
It has been said, that Tasha had a daughter, Melanie who went on to join the Rangers of Oakvale. Her purpose for having Mel was said to be to use her as a vessel through which Tasha would become immortal. This sequence of events led to a rumored altercation between the Rangers and Tasha, which is said to have resulted in Tasha losing an eye, as well as her book.
