Biography[edit | edit source]
Leasleach believed herself to be the offspring of the Isu called The Morrigan, who was the goddess of disease and death. Leasleach spent her time in the bogs of Meath, prodding and disturbing mummified corpses in the belief that they were her victims in a previous life. The corpses oozed swamp waters, which she used to concoct her poisons. At some point, Leasleach accepted an offer to join the Children of Danu and soon rose to the rank of a High Druid, due to her poisonous creations being invaluable to the cult.[1]
The cryptonym of "The Whisper" was discovered when the Viking jarlskona Eivor Varinsdottir assassinated The Spider and recovered a clue from her personal effects. The clue was a note to The Spider from The Oak, who stated to tell The Whisper to create a more effective poison and that her location may be at Boyne Tombs. At the tombs, a note was found and it read of a warning by a bystander who had the misfortune of being in the presence of The Whisper. The note stated The Whisper wanted to consummate their love at a stone ritual circle in a small harbor near the Boyne river. At the ritual stone circle, south of Kells Abbey, a note on a stone table was found and it was a prayer from The Whisper herself about her routine of creating her poisons in the bogs. The identity of The Whisper was found to be Leasleach and her location in the bogs east of Inchroe.[2]
Within the bogs, a wandering Leasleach roamed alongside her wild Boar companion. However, Leasleach was assassinated by Eivor, who took an amber shard from her personal effects.[2]
