Overview[edit | edit source]
Background[edit | edit source]
Anders is a fallen Paladin of Tyr that broke his oath. He made a pact with the Arch-devil Zariel in exchange for power. In exchange for this power, Anders must provide Zariel a soul - either his own, or that of Karlach.
Involvement[edit | edit source]
Anders can be found in the Risen Road Toll House, alongside his companions, Cyrel and Trynn. If spoken to, he tells the party that the Toll House is under Tyr's protection and is safe. He explains that they are hunting a dangerous one-horned devil in the form of a Tiefling that is responsible for slaughtering refugees. He requests aid from the party in hunting the devil. This starts the quest 
.
If the party is able to succeed at seeing through Anders' ruse, or uses 
on the corpse in the next room to learn the truth, Anders will reveal that he is a fallen Paladin of Tyr and has made a pact with the Arch-devil Zariel in exchange for power. In return, Zariel demands either Anders' soul, or that of a tiefling that escaped from her, Karlach.
If Anders is defeated, or if the party brings Karlach's head to him, they will be rewarded with his greatsword, the 
Sword of Justice.
