Red Ruth was a night hag diviner and brewer in Avernus, first layer of the Nine Hells, in the late 15th century DR.[1]
Activities[]
Evil individuals from all over the multiverse went to Red Ruth's lair asking for a divination or to sample her mystical brews made with blood.[1]
History[]
Once Red Ruth managed to corrupt a group of dryads in Feywild, by injecting mind-bending mushrooms into the roots of their trees. Their evil caused the now-damned forest to shift into Avernus, where most of the dryads died and the rest turned into a kind of banshee. Pleased with the result, Red Ruth decided to made her lair there.[2]
In the Year of Twelve Warnings, 1494 DR,[note 1] Red Ruth wanted to go to the Wandering Emporium to have a bath after two hundred years.[3]

Notes[]
- ↑ Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus is set in 1492 DR per the "Baldur's Gate Gazetteer" section (p. 159) and a clarification from the adventure's lead writer. Baldur's Gate III, which is a direct sequel to Descent into Avernus set immediately after its events, is also set in 1492 DR. In an apparent error, pages 7 and 47 of Descent into Avernus describes certain events as occurring "fifty years" after 1444 DR (1494 DR).
