Cordula Eltan

Cordula Eltan is a Human wizard that replaces Counsellor Florrick's role in confronting you about Ulder Ravengard in the Lower City. She will give you the book The Legend of Ansur instead.

Overview

Background

Cordula Eltan is the granddaughter of the founder of the Flaming Fist. She is only encountered if Counsellor Florrick is still jailed or deceased.

Just like the encounter with Florrick, if Wyll decides to break his pact with Mizora during The Blade of Frontiers and forsake his father, Cordula Eltan will also approach Wyll and the party while they are in Baldur's Gate, with the intent to avenge Ravengard.

If the party passes a DC 18 Persuasion check, Cordula wills stand down and hand over the book The Legend of Ansur. She directs the party to awaken the legendary dragon in order to protect Baldur's Gate from the Cult of the Absolute.

If the party fails the check, she will attack them alongside her guards, Pollo the Muscle and Wanda Tullermoor.
