Hag Den

A hag den is a small cluster of hags, wherein no one hag holds superiority over the other. This is generally represented by not having the presence of a hagmother, though often this extends to none of the hags ever producing hagspawn. Whether this is due to mutual fear of such hagspawn being used to assassinate one another, or simply that in smaller numbers the hags are not inconspicuous enough to get away with the raising and rearing of hagspawn children.

Hag dens tend to form when one or more hags decide to leave the hag coven within which they were born, (a hag coven is defined in hag culture as a group wherein a hagmother is present,) in order to become their own rulers or else to flee persecution from other members of the group. As such, hag dens are usually a small group of sisters, though presumably a hag den formed of non-related hags is possible- though yet to be observed.

A hag den was most recently formed by Cold Ethyl and three of her sisters, when they left their mother's coven in Myrkviðr. The reasons for this split are unknown, but it is not a hag den in a conventional sense for they have refused to settle in a new area as of yet, instead joining Soahc the Deceiver on some form of sinister plot.
