A Brush with Evil: On Hags was an ecology book that detailed the nature of hags. It was written by Elizabeth M. Soot, published before 1492 DR.[1]

And so I rescind my previous guides to dealing with a hag, my suggestions for clever language and deceit. Instead, I offer these owrds should you ever encounter a hag: run. And pray she does not follow.
— Excerpt from A Brush with Evil.[1]

Content[]

The author shared some first-hand experience she had with hags, having been compelled into service by a green hag for over two years. She wrote about the malign nature of hags, how they lured innocents with a combination of charm and empty promises. They were wholly sadistic creatures who psychologically tortured people that previously trapped. She warned of the dynamics of a hag's coven, how each sister in a group must be feared as much as the captor herself, for none of them ever forgave the slightest perceived insult.[1]

History[]

As of the Year of Three Ships Sailing, 1492 DR, a copy of this book was left in the Emerald Grove of the Western Heartlands.[1]
