The thirteen Hags appeared during the awakening, a time when the peoples of the worlds turned to new spiritualities and cults in the void left by the god’s deaths. The portals between the worlds were closed for one month and one day when they made their very public appearances. Some offer conjecture that they were on the 13 worlds long before this, moving in the shadows. No conclusive evidence has been found.
