The Iron Kingdoms is notable for three things. The trilogy would be completed by The Witchfire Trilogy Book Two: Shadow of the Exile and The Witchfire Trilogy Book Three: The Legion of the Lost, all before being collected as The Witchfire Trilogy in 2005. In 2001 though, the Iron Kingdoms was very much a roleplaying setting, The Witchfire Trilogy being written for the d20 System and thus compatible with Dungeons & Dragons, Third Edition. The fear-inducing witchflame aura manifested by witchfires provides will-o’-wisps their favored sustenance.The Witchfire Trilogy Book One: The Longest Night was published in 2001 by Privateer Press and introduced the Iron Kingdoms, the Steampunk and high fantasy setting best known for its miniatures combat game, Warmachine: Prime. Witchfires have the ability to summon will-o’-wisps, but a number of these aberrations usually linger nearby of their own accord. A witchfire might also ally with other hags or witches and even join their covens, but a witchfire is incapable of forming covens entirely on their own. A witchfire might visit villages on the edge of their home terrain to lure away villagers, but always attack victims within earshot to make sure that other villagers hear the screams. These regions are often plagued by will-o’-wisps, which seem to have an uncanny relationship with the resident witchfire. The body at the center of the flames usually resembles the witch’s idealized self-image, regardless of their age and appearance at the time of their death.Ī witchfire often resides in a bog or swamp, which slowly blackens and decays around them. Manifesting as a sinuous form wreathed in sickly green flames, this incorporeal undead forms when a powerful hag or witch dies in agony or rage.
