- A Blood Hag is a type of being somewhere between practitioner and Other, having gained power from the sheer repition of the practices that give them immortality.<ref>“I have not
counted, but I can still be utterly confident in saying that I have woken up in the same place for more than nine million of your days. I have gathered, hunted, cooked and eaten the same foods on those same days. I have been born, bled for the first time, and been reborn on more than one thousand occasions. The wheel of life and death turns forward and I am an indelible part of it, especially here. This is a pattern, this is my ritual. Now tell me, what is the truth of this. What does it make me?”
“A hag,” Tiff murmured. “A blood hag.”
