Yagoda was a woman that lived in Lurtch when, in 1272, the village inhabitants robbed from a nearby altar, not realizing it was cursed. Shortly after, she and all the rest were transformed into pigs. Unfortunately, due to a war going on, famine was rampant and when several bandits passed through, they captured Yagoda in her pig form and killed and roasted her, not realizing her true origins.
