- Orddu, Orwen, and Orgoch were the three powerful and mysterious enchantresses of the Marshes of Morva. Although their identities were apparently fluid and interchangeable, each of the witches had a distinctive appearance and persona: Orddu, the apparent leader, had tangled hair adorned with many ornaments and a decisive personality; Orwen wore a necklace of milky stones and was the most positive and cheerful of the trio; Orgoch was the least agreeable and the most threatening, with a black cowl that shadowed her face.
