Level 5 · 7 mo agoI clearly don't agree she isn't evil. A fence of human skulls sends a message. You can call it balance but eating children makes her a monster. I wouldn't let my son near that hut.

Level 3 · 8 mo agoThe link to Neolithic funeral platforms is the best detail. Storing corpses on raised poles explains the chicken legs way better than magic does.
