Area Information[edit | edit source]
Mirie staffs the desk at the front inside and will take the party through the locked double doors to Mapping Room, either if you have Shadowheart in your party or otherwise agree to partake in a Mapping of the Heart. These double doors can additionally be bypassed with the 
Grief Key she carries on her person.
Within the Mapping Room, a member of the party can undergo a brief, ritualistic interview with Viconia DeVir to have their heart "mapped." If Shadowheart is with the party, Viconia will reveal a secret passage to the Cloister of Sombre Embrace beneath the House of Grief; it is the clandestine headquarters for Baldur's Gate's Shar worshippers, led by Mother Superior Viconia DeVir.
If the mapping was conducted without Shadowheart, then the passage will reveal itself when Shadowheart is brought into the room. The button to open this passage can be revealed without the mapping by passing a 
DC 20 Investigation check or by killing the staff and guards upstairs.
