Biography

She once sent out an individual to find her initiate who had gone to collect herbs and never came back. She pointed the individual towards the Nightspider Cult cave.^[1]

At some point Azzenaj's old rival, the Nightsister Nandina, had escaped from the Chamber of Banishment and, hungering for revenge, decided to settle her score with the Arch Witch.^[4] She hired an assassin to take care of Azzenaj and provided him with the proper instructions. The assassin made his move, and the Arch Witch met him with the full arsenal of her Force powers. However, the assassin possessed several lethal weapons,^[3] and Azzenaj used the Force to mask her life signs. The assassin, believing her dead,^[4] took her elaborate jewelry as the proof of his job done and left to report to Nandina.^[3]
