In the area near the deep rothe in the quest [[Get Past the Rubble]], there are several Dark Justiciar corpses that Shadowheart can comment on. Additionally, there is an [[Idol of Shar]] {{Coords|-645|366}} that can be found on the path past the rubble, through many sets of pressure plate traps and a locked Wrought Iron Gate. The gate can either be smashed with force damage or passed with spells such as [[Misty Step]] or [[Gaseous Form]]. [[Mage Hand]] can also be used to switch the lever on the other side of the gate. Speaking to Shadowheart, she can be gifted the statuette. Lastly, within the path to the [[The Adamantine Forge (Location)|Adamantine Forge]], there are several [[Devilfoil Mask|Devilfoil Masks]] that indicate Merregons from the hell fought with the Dark Justiciars. | ||

As part of [[Infiltrate Moonrise Towers]], the party is prompted to [[Find Ketheric Thorm's Relic]], which leads them to the [[Grand Mausoleum]]. After solving a small puzzle in the Mausoleum, the party enters the [[Gauntlet of Shar]], where they must overcome each of Shar's trials and collect the [[Umbral Gem]]s to gain access to the Shadowfell. | |||
Shadowheart does not need to personally be taken through the Gauntlet of Shar, although she does have numerous opportunities for unique dialogue and approval. | |||

'''WARNING: Entering Shadowfell | '''WARNING: Entering the Shadowfell without Shadowheart will result in her leaving the party.''' | ||
If Shadowheart is not taken, then she immediately appears after the party returns to the material plane to confront them, saying they prevented her from achieving her destiny. She permanently leaves the party, saying she hopes she never sees them again and forgets them in time. | |||
Once the party leaps to the heart of the Shadowfell, they learn the Nightsong is not an object, but an aasimar woman named [[Dame Aylin]]. She has been held captive by Thorm using the power of Balthazar to share her immortal life with him. | |||

After this, several events can play out, depending on whether [[Balthazar]] is alive and whether the player convinces Shadowheart to spare the Nightsong. | |||
Shadowheart can be convinced to spare Aylin in several ways. If the party does nothing and lets Shadowheart decide fully on her own, she chooses to thrown the spear into the depths of the Shadowfell. However, she can also be persuaded by a difficult Persuasion | Shadowheart can be convinced to spare Aylin in several ways. If the party does nothing and lets Shadowheart decide fully on her own, she chooses to thrown the spear into the depths of the Shadowfell. However, she can also be persuaded by a difficult {{Ability check|Persuasion|30}} or by trusting Shadowheart to make the choice on her own and then passing a second, less difficult {{Ability check|Persuasion|21}}. | ||

If the Nightsong is freed, she thanks the party. If Shadowheart spared her, then she throws the Spear of Night into the abyss of the Shadowfell. However, Dame Aylin grants her a new weapon as thanks - the [[Moonlight Glaive]]. Aylin promises to tell Shadowheart more about her history after taking down Thorm. Then, Aylin flies off to face him. After leaving the Shadowfell, Lady Shar subjects Shadowheart to unimaginable torment before sending her back to the mortal realm, and Shadowheart loses her favour. | '''If the Nightsong is freed''', she thanks the party.

If Shadowheart kills the Nightsong, she becomes the Dark Justiciar and gains the [[Shar's Spear of Evening]]. However, the party loses a valuable ally in the Nightsong. There is a major consequence for Last Light Inn due to Shadowheart's actions. Isobel is overwhelmed and unable to sustain her protection magic over the Inn, causing all within to fall to the shadow curse. Shadowheart refers to this as cleansing the resistance to Lady Shar's will. Additionally, unlike instances where Isobel is kidnapped in [[Resolve the Abduction]], Jaheira is nowhere to be found and does not aid the party in the Last Light Inn fight. | '''If Shadowheart kills the Nightsong''', she becomes the Dark Justiciar and gains the [[Shar's Spear of Evening]].

Regardless of what Shadowheart's fate is, the result is that Ketheric Thorm must be faced as part of [[Defeat Ketheric Thorm]]. This is either mandated by Shar, who sees him as a traitor, or requested by Aylin, who will give her more information on her past if she assists her. | Regardless of what Shadowheart's fate is, the result is that Ketheric Thorm must be faced as part of [[Defeat Ketheric Thorm]].
