Description
Nom's motives and origins are shrouded in mystery. She appears throughout time, often at events that seemed innocuous at the time until viewed through the lens of history. Viewed this way the careful studier can see that Nom has manipulated these events from behind the scenes with a deviousness and skill that inspire a dark chill down the spine.

Nom prefers to act through agents, many of whom are not fully aware of whom they truly work for. When she does appear herself she assumes the guise of a beautiful, stern woman (who could be human or elven) of indeterminate age, wearing a simple black dress. She concludes her business and departs, always about her dark business.

It's possible Nom was once mortal who then ascended to godhood. However, if that's true she must have ascended long, long ago, well before reliable records became available. Aside from a strong grudge against Ehlonna, it's difficult to tell what sort of relationship she has with other deities as she seldom comments on them or gets directly involved in their affairs.

The Great Witch prefers beguilement and subtlety to overt displays of power so her full abilities are something of a mystery. She does seem, at the least, to be capable of altering the fates of other persons, re-writing them to suit her own ends. It's suspected that she's steered the history of nations and bloodlines all to ensure the birth of certain individuals she finds suitable to her purpose. Once she deems they're ready, she maneuvers them into a situation wherein they must choose between something precious (such as every soul in the kingdom) or their own destiny. The person is free to make their own choice, but they can be sure that Nom will carry out her promises if they choose to deny her. The ritual requires that they give up their fate willingly. - Tesla Ranger
