Katilda is a witch from Innistrad. She is the leader of the Dawnhart Coven.[1]
Description
Katilda appears to be a young woman, but wise beyond her years. Her white hair is looped through the many branches of her headdress; the pale crescent and sphere painted on her dusky skin only serve to make her features blend in.[1] She uses a large staff to perform her magic.
Early Years
The current leader of the Dawnhart Coven is Katilda, a strong-willed witch dedicated to restoring the day-night balance on Innistrad. Katilda was a healer and teacher in the Kessig town of Avabruck, but when the town was destroyed years ago (the ruins of the town are now called Hollowhenge), she retreated into the Ulvenwald Forest. In an area of rocky caves called the Natterknolls, she met hermits and witches who practiced ancient hedge magic. They soon decided to reform the Dawnhart Coven around an ancient forest deity, Ghrin-Danu, and two years later, Katilda has emerged as their leader.[2]
When the Dawnhart Coven first reformed, Katilda was at odds with the young acolyte Saryth. Saryth, a powerful hedgewitch, believed that Ghrin-danu's power was not enough to restore Innistrad. She expressed a desire to worship additional gods, but the other witches were unflinching in their loyalty. Whether she was expelled from the coven or left on her own depends on who you ask.[2]
Midnight
Katilda gathered the Dawnhart Coven to reverse the unnatural darkness and cold that had began spreading over Innistrad after Emrakul was trapped in Innistrad's moon.[1] Needing a the energy of a large human gathering, she organized the Harvesttide festival. Planning to use the Celestus, Katilda recruited Arlinn Kord and the Gatewatch to find the Moonsilver Key.[3]
During the preparations for the Harvesttide festival Katilda ends up helping Leinore to save her sister Sinnia, who was possessed by the powers of the witch Saryth and would be used in a ritual to summon a creature called the Coiled One.[4]
