The Graveyard Hag is the patron goddess of [[Carthak]] and is widely worshipped there. In his youth, Emperor [[Ozorne]] built her a temple. But when Ozorne grew older and decided that he no longer needed the gods, going so far as to ban offerings to them, the Graveyard Hag became extremely angry. She began to engineer Ozorne's downfall. Indeed, a prophecy was made at Ozorne's coronation, stating that hyenas would lead his doom to him. The Graveyard Hag was not about to be ignored, not in her own land. |
