Pre-Conjure Volva

Volva named Hagaria


Hagaria is a formidable Volva, a mistress of the darker, more untamed aspects of seership and magic. Her power is raw, unyielding, and focused on truth, no matter how uncomfortable it may be. She embodies the wild, untamed spirit of the forest depths and the stark beauty of winter.

Appearance: Hagaria presents with an angular, sharp beauty, her face showing an intense, almost feral intelligence. Her prominent cheekbones and jawline give her a striking appearance. Long, unbound hair, the color of raven's wings, appears matted with twigs and leaves, occasionally revealing strands of dark, iridescent blue. Her eyes are pools of obsidian, reflecting light with an unnerving, knowing glint, holding an ancient, piercing intensity. Her skin is pale, almost translucent, with faint, intricate black sigils tattooed along her forearms and collarbones, pulsating faintly when she channels power. She wears garments of rough, dark leather and thick, woven wool in shades of deep charcoal and midnight blue, adorned with bones, feathers, and thorny brambles. A staff fashioned from blackthorn, tipped with a raw, jagged piece of black tourmaline, is her constant companion.

Retributive and Protective Magic: While primarily protective, Hagaria possesses the skill to cast powerful retaliatory magic against those who persistently cause harm or injustice. Her justice is swift and decisive.
Dream Interpretation and Shadow Work: Hagaria guides the keeper through the labyrinthine depths of the subconscious, interpreting complex dreams and assisting in shadow work to integrate disowned aspects of the self for greater power.
