Mentzelia: The Harvest Witch

I’ve never been a great fan of titles in-game but there are a couple of NPC only ones that I’d jump through hoops for.

Both belong to Worgen Druids and both have a decidedly seasonal feel to them.

I love the idea of a Harvest Witch (or Druid), in tune with the earth and fully understanding the need to reap just as much as to sow. A herbalist by nature, bags full of flowers dried and fresh. Naturally she prefers the wild places, those quiet groves and silent forests.  Her constant companion is a raven, shiny black feathers and curious eyes.  Thus Mentzelia was born, named for a plant otherwise known as the Moonflower.

Of course, being ever so fond of planning, making her wasn’t enough, I needed to create some outfits for her too.

Sowing  or Restoration

• Helm: Conqueror’s Nightsong Headpiece
• Shoulders: Mantle of Wild Feathers
• Chest: Living Breastplate
• Hands: Shardtooth Gloves
• Off-Hand: Dreamseeker Dandelion
• Main-Hand: Ceremonial Kris
• Legs: Forestwalker Kilt

Reaping or Feral

• Helm:  Conqueror’s Nightsong Headpiece
• Shoulders: Pygmy Shoulders
• Chest: Cosmos Vestments
• Hands: Gloves of Northern Lordaeron
• Weapon: War Scythe

So if you come across a garden nestled by the hedgerow or blooming in a forest, be careful what you take for two sets of eyes may be watching. Then as you wander home, your arms full of stolen herbs, would you see the raven soaring above you, tracking your every move or would you notice the rustle of the long grass as something stalked towards you, perhaps not, at least until it was too late.
