I plan on altering the introduction of Reign of Winter to take place in Andoran, specifically in Falcon's Hollow/Darkmoon Wood. In Darkmoon, there is a location noted as "Ulizmila's Cottage." In researching through the module Hollow's Last Hope and Pathfinder Companion: Guide to the Darkmoon Vale, Ulizmila is described to be a witch who is the great-granddaughter of Baba Yaga.
I cannot find further references to Ulizmila anywhere, and I wanted to make sure I didn't miss any further references before potentially weaving her more directly into the events of Reign of Winter.
Does anyone know if she will have a role in future parts of the adventure path? Or does she show up in any previous Pathfinder adventure modules?
Pretty sure, she's not mentioned in any other PF adventure module or other book.
No idea about RoW AP, though.
I really like your idea! I used her cauldron to good extent when running Falcon's Hollow as introductory prequel to PF for my current group and they are still suspicious about any bigger cauldron they encounter.

She's also mentioned in the timeline in the Inner Sea Workd Guide as having arrived in the Darkmoon Vale in 4609 and is listed as "reportedly the granddaughter of Baba Yaga." The Guide to Darkmoon Vale also has some information on her, calling her a daughter of Baba Yaga in one place, and a great great granddaughter in another. It also says that "her final destiny has caught up with her."
Even by the time of Hollow's Last Hope...
** spoiler omitted **
So I doubt she shows up anywhere else. 8^)
Does it specify...
...how or when she died anywhere? All I found in Hollow's Last Hope is that she has moved on.
Also, given what we know about the future Reign of Winter chapters, I have to wonder if...
...she is one of the daughters of Baba Yaga that are contained within the hut?
Ulizmila plays a notable role in my homebrew game, and I have her down as a granddaughter of the Old Crone. She is a high-level witch who hides her appearance and assumes other forms and goes by many names. I changed the location of Hollow's Last Hope to the River Kingdoms to suit my needs, and my PCs ran across her abandoned hut.
Now the PCs know her assumed name/form (Mother Nightmoss) and the fact that she is the birth mother of one of the PCs. /cackle

Which leaves the door open for all sort of speculation...
Do other grand-daugthers of Baba Yaga or even further removed relatives exist?Has any of her other daughters tried to establish a hereditary reign of her descendants at some stage?
The same goes for mentioning she "moved on" (as done in Falcon Hollow's Last Hope)can mean all sort of things, death being only one, I'd say.
Given the circumstances and the stats for her cauldron I doubt she'd be powerful enough (given the info so far!) to face a group of lvl15+ PCs, though.

Why haven't I thought about that? Me like-y! Another witch in the River Kingdoms. An abandoned hut. With a cauldron as guardian! My players will never feel save again! Stolen!
Sorry for the derailment.

We are just completing Falcon's Hollow (D0) and I plan on introducing Reign of Winter - Snows of Summer from there in Darkmoon wood. The interesting thing is I introduced one character joining late by having the group find him passed out in Ulizmilla's cauldron. He decided to run with that and has convinced the other characters that he IS Ulizmilla! I am trying to think of some good fun I can have with that one.
so HE is masquerading as a SHE?

Well, he rolled a really high Bluff check, and the rest of the party rolled really low Sense Motive checks. So the party basically believes she's a witch and can probably look any way she wants.
