One hundred years before the events of the game, Halsin was part of the [[Emerald Grove]]'s forces in the attack against {{CharLink|Ketheric Thorm}} at [[Moonrise Towers]]. However, shortly after Ketheric's body was interred within the [[Grand Mausoleum]], the shadow curse took hold. In the chaos that followed, Halsin lost contact with {{CharLink|Thaniel}}, his childhood friend and the living spirit of the land, and worse still, the Archdruid of the Emerald Grove was lost to the curse, leaving Halsin to take command and lead the survivors to safety. | One hundred years before the events of the game, Halsin was part of the [[Emerald Grove]]'s forces in the attack against {{CharLink|Ketheric Thorm}} at [[Moonrise Towers]].

Halsin has no direct involvement in any Act Three storyline, though taking him out of the [[Lower City]] campsite and talking to him has him express fear that balancing nature and civilization may not even be possible. He is also one of two companions (alongside {{CharLink|Astarion}}) who can have a foursome at [[Sharess' Caress]] without having been romanced, and he tells the player character about his experience with the noble drow after participating. Lastly, he is added to {{Quest|Gather Your Allies}}, harnessing Thaniel's strength to provide the {{Cond|Spirit of the Land}} condition once the party reaches the [[Upper City]]. | Halsin has no direct involvement in any Act Three storyline, though taking him out of the [[Lower City]] campsite and talking to him has him express fear that balancing nature and civilization may not even be possible.
