Adversary overview

A cruel mistress of the Witherwild, capable of manipulating the elements and harnessing its power.

The Witherwitch is a reclusive matriarch of the indelible, unrelenting greenery of the Witherwild. Due to forces unknown, or perhaps, not yet explored, she is unable to recall where she came from, or how she came to be. Her past seemingly disregarded, all that matters to her now is the continued proliferation of her magical influence upon the Witherwild. Her overarching goal: The Witherwild must spread, it must reclaim, it must grow.

The intention behind this adversary was to create a sense of cohesion with the other Witherwild campaign connected adversaries. Introducing the Witherwild Reclamation is a bit bold maybe, it’s definitely very dangerous if it succeeds, however, a sense of impending doom seems really fitting for a Witherwitch — When the Wither Dice reaches it’s max value, you are reclaimed, or at least partially. Anyway, I would love to hear your thoughts and feelings on this. It’s all definitely subject to change.
