Remember our vow to keep one another safe? When the music stops, you and I - we will continue dancing.

History

Hailing from the Underdark, Sorn was originally employed as a courtesan, and Nym as an artisanal masseuse. The pair fled the Underdark due to the matriarchy's mistreatment of men, ultimately coming to work in Baldur's Gate. Sorn seems to thoroughly enjoy his line of work, particularly fulfilling extreme and interesting fantasies; he remarks that Drow culture is obsessed with bondage, which became boring.

Involvement

Act Three

Services from Sorn or Nym individually cost 500 Gold, and from both together cost 1000. Completing  Find the 'Stern Librarian' Ffion, then reporting back to Mamzell Amira and requesting a reward results in Mamzell Amira offering the party the drows' services at a discount; the player character can then hire one of the twins for free, or both for 500 Gold.

Sorn and Nym Orlith can be hired by the player character individually, or as a pair together with additional companions (if said companions are romanced.)

• If the player character is in a romance with Shadowheart and her final romance scene has not been triggered yet, she rejects the invitation, wanting the first time to be just her and the player character. After that scene, she enthusiastically agrees to have sex with Sorn, Nym, and the player character.
• Astarion, when romanced, only agrees after  The Pale Elf is completed. However, the narration notes Astarion seems to be spaced out, not enjoying the act.
• A romanced Gale can be convinced to participate with DC 25 Persuasion check, but once the scene begins, he ducks out and leaves behind an Astral Projection to participate in his stead.
• Halsin, when romanced, also always agrees, and if romanced at the same time as Shadowheart or Astarion, can join in alongside them. If Halsin joins alongside another romanced companion and increases the number of participants to five, Sorn observes that in Qu'ellarz'orrl custom, a group of five or more is "legally" an orgy, while four or fewer is simply a gathering.
• Other companions reject Sorn and Nym's invitation.
  • However, Karlach admits that while having a foursome sounds appealing in theory, the reality of doing so with the twins is not. However, if the player character backs out as well and hires only one twin, she happily encourages them to have fun and save some for her later.

Sorn's one-on-one scenes are brief and generally comical in nature. When hired alone, Sorn can be asked to do the following:

• Pretend to be Drizzt Do'Urden, to which he remarks "not again."
• Provide an "unusual sensation", which results in him spilling spiders all over the bed.
• To simply be as he is, which results in him calling the player character a prude before providing his services.
• To use the Menzoberranzan Love Trick, which seems to be Sorn casting  Enlarge on himself.
• To do missionary with the lights off. Sorn seems to particularly enjoy this, as the narrator remarks at the end: "The drow seems to have the time of his life."

Once either or both of the twins are met in their room, the player character can also change their mind and decide not to go through with the act, which results in either sibling returning the fee paid.

Notes

• In traditional Drow names, "Sorn" means "enchanted" or "spell".
• Sorn believes that snails are an aphrodisiac.
• All of Sorn and Nym's sex scenes are largely voiceover with a black screen; the lights in the room are turned off as "part of the experience." As of Patch 5, an additional ending cinematic was added to some sexual encounters.
• A glitch sometimes occurs if Scratch is summoned when the player character and Shadowheart approach Nym and Sorn in the Drow Private Room to initiate the sex scene. If triggered, Nym and Sorn roll for initiative and combat begins. Dismissing Scratch solves this problem. A summoned Planar Ally: Djinni or Conjured Elemental also starts combat upon initiating dialogue.
