If the party chooses to [[Travel through the Underdark]] and enters [[Grymforge]], several signs of Dark Justiciar remnants are noticed.

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 {{SmRarityItem|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 {{SAI|Misty Step}} or {{SAI|Gaseous Form}}. {{SAI|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 {{SmRarityItem|Devilfoil Mask|Devilfoil Masks}} that indicate Merregons from the hell fought with the Dark Justiciars. | ||
Unfortunately, the trail goes cold within Grymforge. Choosing to free True Soul [[Nere]] as part of [[Free True Soul Nere]] causes him to explain that he was looking for an entrance to an ancient Sharran Temple, but that the way was blocked. It is not until the latter half of [[Act Two]] that the party finds a way in. | Unfortunately, the trail goes cold within Grymforge.

Shadowheart does not need to personally be taken through the Gauntlet of Shar, although she does have numerous opportunities for unique dialogue and approval. | Shadowheart does not need to personally be taken through the Gauntlet of Shar, although she does have numerous opportunities for unique dialogue and approval. | ||

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 {{SmRarityItem|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. After completing [[Defeat Ketheric Thorm]], upon speaking to [[Dame Aylin]] in camp, the party will be rewarded with {{SmRarityItem|Selûne's Spear of Night}}. | ||

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. | ||
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]].
