Winter Woodsong

The eldest of the Elders, Winter Woodsong is the most powerful sorceress in all the land of Een. She is a tiny, delicate creature with glimmering eyes and a tapestry of wrinkles that dance across her face. From head to foot, Winter Woodsong is snow white, for age has bleached her hair and skin of all color, and she is clothed in a gown as pale as the moon. Even her crooked staff of Eenwood is as white as a crystal shard.

Still, it can be surprising how much magic beats within a creature so tiny, and when Winter Woodsong raises her hands to cast a spell, other Eens pause in wonder.

Winter’s wisdom is known throughout the Land of Een, and she led the Council of Elders for many years until age and illness forced her to step down in favor of the vile Burdock Brown.

Even in sickness, Winter is able to impart much wisdom to the Eens, including young Kendra Kandlestar. In fact, Winter reveals much to Kendra about her long-lost mother, inspiring the girl to go seek her in the wretched wilds that lay beyond the magic curtain of Een.

In her younger days, Winter Woodsong took many Eens as apprentices, instructing them in the ways of magic. One of her apprentices was Kendra’s Uncle Griffinskitch. After he completed his tutelage, Uncle Griffinskitch remained close to Winter and the two became trusted friends.
