Philippa Eilhart

Philippa Eilhart (Polish: ''Filippa Eilhart'') was King Vizimir's advisor, and remained in Redania's court even after his death, for which she was likely responsible. She is one of the few sorceresses able to polymorph.

She led the Thanedd coup against the Brotherhood of Sorcerers, intending to neutralize suspected traitors allied with Nilfgaard. Later, she helped found the Lodge of Sorceresses and is considered its leader.

She was, among several others Lodge members, one of the victims of the Witch Hunts. Her tortures and death by the hand of archpriest Willemer's men are described in introduction of chapter 11 of the ''Lady of the Lake''. Many years later, she was exonerated and canonized as Martyr Saint.
