== Overview ==
'''Mother Millian''' was a halfling witch doctor. She took the honorific “Mother” or “Clan Mother” from serving as the wise woman and healer for the [[Crockfoot Clan]], a small familial group within the greater of [[Ghostwise]] Halfling Tribe.

Following the death of her Mother, and the previous Crockfoot Clan Mother, [[Mother Malta]], Millian took over as clan mother. Her mother's dying words after getting partially smashed by a giant were to "take care of them, they are your children now", making it clear that it was Millian's responsibility to look after her furtive halfling kinsmen.

After many years of successfully protecting her clan some philosophical discussions between herself and various clan members, most notably her young son [[Elliot the Bongoist]] about the purpose of living such a fearful and joyless life, She softened to their wishes to 'live a little' and 'enjoy life' and allowed some music and festivities within the Clan's hideout. Soon after, the noise of a baby naming celebration brought giants and giant kin down upon their cave. The entire clan was wiped out leaving Millian as an unwilling survivor and last of the Crockfoot Clan.

== Appearance ==
A small, dark-skinned, wizened old Halfling matron, dressed in a baggy shift and adorned with braided and unkempt salt and pepper hair with many bone and uncut rocks. Her skin is extremely wrinkled beyond her 55 years of life with bright hazel eyes peaking out of deep eyewells. On her wrist she wears a dirty braid bracelet made from the multi-colored hair of her fallen Crockfoot brethren, which is the focal point for her connection with her ancestors.

== Relatives ==

==== Three Husbands: ====
* [[Jiv the Hunter]] - Millian's first husband and one true love. They grew up together as youngsters amongst the [[Crockfoot Clan]] and were married at a young age. They had four children together before Jiv met his end during a hunting trip at the hand of a Hill Giant.

==== Thirteen Children ====
* Little Olivia the gymnast
* Elliot the Bongoist
* Missie the Clan Mother Apparent

== Spirituality, Casting and Combat ==
Like her clan, Millian is possessed with a strong survival instinct that centers around fearless timidity. While never overcome by fear, Millian understands that her best chance of survival comes from hiding behind her stronger comrades, up a tree, or inside a hole. In combat or tense situations she will always tend to apparent cowardice while keeping her wits and skills about her. She is surprisingly spry for an old lady and has practiced in her youth with various simple weapons, including ranged weapons

=== Casting ===
Before the death of her clansmen and Millian performing the burial rites for them she had no supernatural powers. Her healing and special skills came through herbalism and talents around the cook fire. Since coming down from the [[Gray Hills]] after burying her tribe Millian began to have dreams and hear the voices of the deceased more and more vividly. They bragged to her that they could do things, at first she didn't believe the ancestors but as her journey went on she began to believe their half-dreamed words and call on them to perform evermore miraculous works.

=== Mother Millian's Tale ===
[[Millian]] was Clan mother to the Crockfoot Clan it was Millian's responsibility to look after her furtive halfling kinsmen. She softened to their wishes to 'live a little' and 'enjoy life' and allowed some music and festivities. The noise of a baby naming celebration brought giants and giant kin down upon their cave. The entire clan was wiped out.

Millian awoke from the battle with a bump on her head and shame in her heart. The ancestors beseeched her to travel with an interest in understanding the meaning of such menial insignificant life. Coming down from her hill country she ran into a group of colorful travelers, "the Vistani", she criticized and ate their soup and passed out under a wagon. She awoke in the strange cursed land of Barovia next to Corwin the monster hunter and a recently deceased knight named Slag.
