Baba Yaga

Baba Yaga was an extraordinary powerful mage whose magical hut was reported to have appeared on Faerûn.

""“Did you come of your own free will, or at another’s bidding?""

- Baba Yaga, a question she typically asked visitors to her home.

Description
Some described Baga Yaga as the most powerful female mage ever known. The sorceress was known to pass to other planes, and in doing so, her hut appeared elsewhere. Many noted that Baba Yaga was somehow related to night hags, green hags, and annis hags. Some of these hags even worshipped Baba Yaga. The sorceress was said to be of godlike intelligence, but very physically ugly. She had a long warty nose, a skeletal frame, and thin white hair.

Possessions
Baba Yaga has had several guardian animals over her life time, with the most prominent being cats. Some of these cats were mundane, while others were magical and intelligent. Beyond that she had guard dogs, wolves, and occasionally dire wolves. These were typically malnourished and lived either on her hut's porch or in its stables.

Relationships
Baba Yaga helped to raise two humans, Kostchtchie and Tasha. The former went on to become very well known on Toril, whilst the latter was mainly heard of on the world of Oerth. Kostchtchie became a "distinctly Faerûnian demon lord" and had conflicts with Gwynharwyf.

The powerful witch knew much about the deity Psilofyr (a deity worshipped by myconids of Toril ), but did not share her knowledge with others.

History
Baba Yaga once prophesized that the ruler of Mag Tureah, a region of the Feydark with multiple portals to Toril, would be slain by his own son.

Rumors & Legends
In the 14 century DR, Volo and Elminster stated that, according to reports, Baba Yaga's hut appeared near Rashemen, northeast Faerûn.
