Quil is a silver dragonborn singer and composer in Baldur's Gate 3. She is a temporary camp follower, found at the party's campsite if playing as the Dark Urge.

Overview

Quil Grootslang is a singer-songwriter, travelling to Baldur's Gate to publish her manuscript of love-chants, Affairs in Ancient Abeir: Songs of Draconic Love, throat-sung in Tymanther style. She is a bit of a romantic, recently made homeless after her clan-name was struck.

Involvement

Act One

Quil will only appear in place of Alfira to progress the Dark Urge Origin's personal quest line, if Alfira is somehow rendered unavailable for the scene before the party long rests after reaching the Emerald Grove (such as by being killed or knocked unconscious before the long rest).

Quil is travelling to Baldur's Gate to publish a new song she has written. She has recently escaped an encounter with the nearby band of goblins who robbed her of her belongings and pants, and will request to stay at the party's camp for one night. Before the party long rests, they can learn a little about dragonborn culture, her talent for throat-singing, and her desire to roam free, away from the restrictive clan-centric culture of her people. She will also discuss love with the player character, and ask if they feel anything for anyone within the camp.

Once the party long rests on the night Quil appears at the camp, a cutscene will occur, showing that the Dark Urge has murdered her in much the same way Alfira would have been, had she appeared instead. The rest of the cutscene will play out exactly the same as if it were Alfira.

Like Alfira, rejecting Quil's request to spend the night does not change the outcome of the scene; the Dark Urge will simply track her down and drag her back to camp before disembowelling her.

Act Three

The bard Lyrux Goldthroat, found in the Lower City Guildhall, can be asked if she knows any of Quil's songs. Lyrux will reply "Of course I do", implying that Quil is a renowned musician, at least among dragonborn.
