The Oldmother is a character that appears in Might and Magic: The Shadowsmith. She was the oldest of the red-skinned people that Hitch's group met in the red-skied world, and the only woman they saw there. Everyone treated her with great respect, and the headman of the village would seek her counsel before making important decisions. She could usually be found on a low, cushioned chair behind the headman's trone. When she needed to travel, she was carried around on a litter made out of reeds, her small body swathed in hot robes and blankets.
