Tara: Difference between revisions

From Baldur's Gate 3 Wiki
(read through it and this article seems spoiler free to me. removed the spoiler warning.)
(Added a link to the Ring of Evasion since it wasn't mentioned anywhere in the page explicitly (I wanted to know for myself what item Tara gives if you play as Gale and it took a bit of searching so I think this might be good to include))

Overview[edit | edit source]

Background[edit | edit source]

Gale conjured Tara when he was ten years old, after his parents refused to give him a kitten. Tara and Gale's mom eventually became friends, with Tara visiting her after Gale left home. Tara affectionately refers to Gale as "the most expensive pet in Waterdeep", and later states that they both belong to each other.
