[edit] Also known as
Esmerelda Weatherwax is known by several names:
- Esmerelda Weatherwax - her full name
- Esme - short for Esmerelda
- Granny - there's aren't any other Grannys as famous
- Aaoograha hoa - (Trollish) 'She Who Must Be Avoided'
- K'ez'rek d'b'duz - (Dwarfish) 'Go Around the Other Side of the Mountain'
[edit] Appearance
Granny dresses plainly in sensible black clothing, and is never seen without the regulation pointed witches hat and cloak. Her looks could be called handsome, but only in a following wind and by the right light, by a good-natured liar. She is particularly renowned for her penetrating blue eyes, with which she can inflict a terrible stare.
Much to her eternal disappointment, Granny has never been able to affect the usual decay associated with the traditional old crone; she has a rosy complexion, all her teeth, and no warts.
[edit] Location
Granny is always found inside her cottage in Bad Ass. She moves about within the cottage, and sometimes fades (out the other side).
When she is fading a lot of adventuring.perception is necessary to see her.
One time more than 350 bonus was needed with a 371 bonus allowing to see her.
Another time a 387 bonus didn't work and a 411 bonus was enough to see her.
Both times she was seen with watch medium. This might indicate that it is a second requirement, or perhaps something else. [research]
[edit] Guild roles
Granny has various roles within the Witches Guild:
- She is the one to talk to to join the Witches Guild.
- She teaches all witch spells, with the exception of Jorodin's Magnificent Communicator.
- She gives guild titles to those who ask, by 'sayto granny Can I have a title please?'
