The Trinket Collector: The Poultry Hag is not your typical witch. She wanders the lands in ragged robes, unseen by most, but her presence is always hinted at by the sudden disappearance of small, shiny objects.

They snatch anything that glimmers, keys, rings, coins, and carry these treasures back to her hidden lair.

The Mischievous Weather Witch. Legends say that on the sunniest of days, when laughter echoes across the valley, she may wave her staff and call forth an unexpected storm just to see the chaos unfold. Conversely, on a dreary, rain-soaked morning, her fancy might lead her to part the clouds and bathe the land in warmth and light. Her influence is as fleeting as her attention span, leaving only puzzled villagers and drenched picnic baskets in her wake.
