Mother Helga

Mother Helga is a Harvest Witch believed to inhabit the Hailwood Marsh of southern Gilneas. She is described as a kind, caring woman who aids those lost in the swamp, providing shelter against the elements and the local crocolisks. However, there are others who claim that there are malignant things in the swamp born of her will, and that her kindness is a lure to bait the gullible for some fell purpose.

Those who believe in Mother Helga's existence are few and far between, though stories of her are not a complete unknown. Throughout the years she has been considered by her believers a "miracle worker" whose affinity for nature could grant her visitors their desires. After the rituals of Tal'doren to aid the feral Worgen, many who failed to find acceptance in their curse sought out Mother Helga in search of aid.
