my evil druid, sephiros 🐦

a former vassal of house ravencrest, he now serves as a kind of broker for a raven-like death loa, tricking mortals into selling it their souls for the promise of life everlasting.

his robe is fashioned from a thousand tormented crows cursed to take the shape of a cloak

apparently if they channel rainwater, they’re gargoyles; otherwise they’re called grotesques!

I wish they’d have given early access for the new demon hunter spec or Haranar during Legion remix, no?

Feels kinda odd to do this huge accelerated level up event, it ends, and then you have to level your Haranar to 90 the slow way. 😕

the lack of an HD ashes of a'lar mount in midnight is upsetting me more than it reasonably should.

like the Drust, they rely on charms and runes to bind their magic, which is referred to colloquially as "witchcraft", and are governed by the ancient laws of the Balance.

the Law of Three discourages them from using their magic for harm, for whatever a harvest witch sows, they reap threefold.

SunkenCastles @sunkencastles.bsky.social · 7d

their druidism is more crude than that of the Kaldorei tradition, and even includes methods for handling death magic (harvest witches see Life and Death as parts of the same whole), having been developed by field workers and farmhands instead of Archdruids with years of discipline and study.

harvest witches prefer to wield scythes or sickles - both in honour of the legendary Scythe of Elune, and as a symbol of their role as reapers in the Balance of All Things.

more random #harvestwitch headcanon:

their version of druidism focuses on the autumnal/harvest/decay aspect of nature and they serve the Balance by ensuring living things live out their intended lifespan and die so they can rot and become nutrients in the soil to propagate new life.

getting closer here (ignore the missing gloves/topline of the boots).

i like the idea of harvest witches using poppets instead of wicker creatures to differentiate them from the Drust, and i'm leaning heavily into the harvest golem aesthetic.

they use scythes too obv for the vibes. #harvestwitch

the Circle of Rot was formed when Gilnean harvest witches - persecuted for their alleged sorcery and chased into the Blackwald - forged a pact with a charismatic druid who promised their salvation.

in truth, they were each and all deceived, their souls forever bound in service of a darker power...

character design for the matriarch of the evil harvest witch coven:

hers and the soul of every witch in her coven is tethered to a tree of ages they've enslaved, abusing its life-giving properties to unnaturally extend their own. death never claims them, but their bodies continue to wither and age

part of my druid's backstory involves an evil coven of former harvest witches that feared losing their power when gilneans started abandoning the old ways, so they sold their souls to a Death-aligned entity for eternal life ☠️

this is Beatrice Motley, one of the witches
