Orddu, Orwen, and Orgoch

Orddu, Orwen, and Orgoch are three witches who live alone in the Marshes of Morva. They were the original owners of the Black Cauldron and lent it to Arawn, but he had to pay a hefty price for it. The witches are Alexander's version of the Fates from Greek and Norse mythology.

They are seen suspecting that Taran, Eilownly, gurgi and Fleudder Flam are theives. However, Taran says he wants the cauldron. Orddu offers him floating items around the room, such as a teapot. Taran destroys them with his magic sword, much to the amazement of the witches. The witches are determined to get the sowd with a bargain that is. The bargain is that Taran and his friends can have the cauldron in exchange for the sword, believing they will return it because they will not do anything with it. The witches think they will have the sword AND the cauldron.

Orddu gives them the cauldron after Taran reluctanly give the witches the sword.
