Margali Morwentari
"Thriller Theatre with Margali"
"Heigh-ho,
Couch Pumpkins...Margali here!"
She is
not
some babe on a broomstick...
NOT
that other "Mistress of the Dark"...her
complexion's much better than the Crypt Keeper's...and she's been
called
"the Murphy Brown from Hell"...(among
other
things...) She is
Margali
Morwentari,
just your resident Sorceress-at-Large, Wicked Wit[ch] and erstwhile
host of
Thriller
Theatre with Margali,
an
award-winning late-night
program for dedicated couch-pumpkins.
Notes:

Debut: 1990 |

Along
the way (to accommodate the studio's sound equipment), Margali lost
her faintly British accent (Celtic heritage, perhaps?) and acquired
a somewhat huskier tone (though, as she has pointed out, not as deep
as Lauren Bacall)--and she acquired a regular announcer (who just
happens to be a
werewolf),
a good right hand (literally), a pet spider, and a few additional
quirks. |

The character of "Margali
Morwentari" (aka Margali the Sorceress, The Morwentari, The White
Queen, Mistress of the White Tower or Mistress of Wicceweald,
blah-blah-blah, yackety-shmackety...) first appeared in the fantasy
roleplaying adventure game
Wizards' Realm™, published in 1981. |
|
· |
Several
trapped spirits and a few ghouls later, the originators of
Wizards' Realm™ were appearing in costume as
characters from the game at science-fiction conventions, when
Margali made her
first
public appearance, in 1984, at
CoastCon
in Biloxi. |
|
· |
She has been a familiar face
to fantasy fans throughout the South, frequently acting as Mistress
of Ceremonies at area science-fiction conventions. |
