Baen Nighe

The Baen Nighe is a fairly benign fey. Often a lone wolf, she spends much of her time preparing the funeral shrouds of those soon to die.

She is considered an omen of death and thus often associated with the Morrigan, but neither serves nor represents her.

The always-feminine fey is extremely dangerous if provoked to battle as she possesses the ability to paralyse her foes and set upon them with strength that seems impossible for her slender form to possess.

However, approach with respect and she will often politely converse with you. She is especially fond of playing a game wherein she will trade three questions for three answers. Answer with honesty, and she will respond in kind, though she will refuse to answer certain questions.

She can grant limited wishes, perofrm tasks or even provide temporary protection from death. It is unclear how to earn such prizes, but one legend says one must stealthily approach whilst in her hag form and suckle from her breast.

Though often bound to remote rivers, she can pass between the mortal world and the Otherworld.
