	Mother Lorinda is the [[darklord]] of the [[Shadowfell domain]] of [[Tepest (Shadowfell)\|Tepest]]. Though she masks herself as a benevolent [[deity]] and motherly figure for the people of [[Viktal (Shadowfell)\|Viktal]], Lorinda is actually a [[green hag]] of great age. Though she is able to bless the land of Vitkal and ward away the [[fey]] that plague the rest of the domain, Lorinda demands regular humanoid sacrifice. These sacrifices enable her to let her misbegotten constructs, [[Lorinda's Children\|her "children"]] to live a few weeks longer before rotting and falling apart. This alludes to perhaps her greatest torment- all of her children can live for at most a few weeks before the foul magic that creates them unravels, leaving only rotten remains of bramble and body parts behind.

	Fairies delivered Lorinda and her two sisters Laveeda and Leticia as babies to their mother as presents. However, the rest of the Mindefisk family- their father and brothers- abused them, especially after their mother's death. To enrich themselves in preparation of escaping their situation, the three sisters robbed and murdered passing travelers before ultimately eating them in their stew pot. The father and brothers were similarly killed after discovering the actions of the sisters. [[The Mists]] then whisked away the sisters to a strange new land of Tepest. Here the murderous sisters transformed into [[hag]]s.		Fairies delivered Lorinda and her two sisters Laveeda and Leticia as babies to their mother as presents.

	After learning [[magic]] from the [[fey]], Lorinda and her sisters used said magic to exploit and feed upon the local mortals for many successive generations. During that time, the trio earned reputations as [[sage]]s and workers of both ominous wonders and horrors. Consulted by those hoping for nature's bounty or even for children, the hags used their powers for weal and woe.

	After some time, Lorinda decided she wanted to fabricate progeny for herself, though her sisters refused to help. After cobbling together an abomination of plant and animal parts with dark magic, Lorinda colluded with it to trap her sisters within [[the Old Cauldron]] and steal their magic. Yet soon after Lorinda's first child rotted away to nothing, a torment that continued with all her subsequently created children, save perhaps for the one she abandoned in the failed village of [[Kellee (Shadowfell)\|Kellee]].

In return, Mother Lorinda calls for the people's devotion, including watching out for those lacking sufficient faith. Moreover, she demands a seasonal human sacrifice during the festival of [[the Tithe]]. Her will is carried out by an special group of devotees called [[Mother's Minders]], whom poke out their left eye to show their devotion. Lorinda can see through any such emptied eye socket<ref name="VRGtR p. 158">VRGtR p. 158</ref>.
