Mother Ostankya

is a Legendary Lord unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer III with Shadows of Change. In the campaign, she leads the .
== Description ==
As sworn by the common folk across the oblasts, the horrifying legend of Mother Ostankya is real. While some consider her an apostate, others regard her as a guardian of Kislev who metes out her wrath against any with ill-intention against the land, be they Kislevite, foreign or supernatural. She is rumoured to have once been a powerful Ice Witch who long ago fell foul of the Ice Court – or are such legends a mockery manifested by her hatred for the covenant’s strictures? Yet in times of war, still the hag comes to Kislev’s aid, appearing beside the Motherland’s ranks – especially those left unsupported by the most rabid of Ursunite faith – commanding her cauldron’s potent shadow-spirits to hex foes in unspeakable ways.
== Introduction description ==
In Kislev, children both rich and poor are scared into obedience with whispers of the dreaded hag in the woods. Yet the reality is far more horrifying than any child could conceive, for the old crone spoken about in such tales is no mere myth.
Mother Ostankya, an elusive figure empowered by the land itself, draws her terrifying magic from woodland, fen and oblast alike. Those with transgressions against the Motherland, be they of this world or another, find no refuge from her vengeance, even on their own soil.
To the distant north, where stands Kislev’s abandoned watchtowers against the Ruinous incursions, she brings her wrath. There can be no doubt: her appearance so far from home is a portent of terrible curses soon to come.
Mother Ostankya will get you!
