DOMNU
"The one person in all of Fincayra who might have the power" to
help Emrys enter the Shrouded Castle. "Her powers are old, very old,
springing from the same ancient sources that brought the very first giants
into being. That is why Stangmar fears to crush her. Even
Rhita Gawr himself prefers to leave her alone. "
In legend, her name means Dark Fate. Her lair is on the edge of the
Haunted Marsh. (p.235)
"We spun around to see a pale, hairless head poking through the crack of
the door. Slowly, the door swung open, revealing a body as round as
the head, wearing a robe resembling a cloth sack with several pockets, a
necklace of rough stones, and bare feet....The hairless head, with rows of
wrinkles, gathering about two triangular ears, leaned toward us. One
large, shriveled wart sprouted like ahorn from the middle of the forehead.
Eyes even blacker than my own watched us, unblinking." (p. 262)
