Though the party learns about Ketheric during Act 1, his involvement in the [[Cult of the Absolute|cult]] of the [[Absolute]] is only explored during Act 2, allowing them to meet Ketheric himself in Moonrise towers before or when it's sieged. | Though the party learns about Ketheric during Act 1, his involvement in the [[Cult of the Absolute|cult]] of the [[Absolute]] is only explored during Act 2, allowing them to meet Ketheric himself in Moonrise towers before or when it's sieged. | ||

The Party's first encounter with Ketheric Thorm starts with the general judging the members of the Absolute's forces from the [[Goblin Camp]], including [[Sazza]], [[Fezzerk]], and [[Minthara]] if any of them are still alive. Should Minthara be alive, he will send her to the dungeons to be punished, and is left with the goblins, who attack him out of fear. Even when impaled, or nearly decapitated with a halberd, he shrugs off the wounds as if they were minor annoyances, killing one of the goblins as punishment. He will leave the fate of the rest of the goblins to the player. | The Party's first encounter with Ketheric Thorm starts with the general judging the members of the Absolute's forces from the [[Goblin Camp]], including [[Sazza]], [[Fezzerk]], and [[Minthara]] if any of them are still alive.

While speaking to NPCs such as [[Jaheira]], [[Z'rell]], and [[Balthazar]], it will be revealed, to some capacity depending on who you speak of, that a magical relic grants Ketheric immortality. Assisting [[Balthazar]] will reveal that sometime between his life as a Sharran, and his time serving [[Myrkul]], Ketheric Thorm had discovered the [[Dame Aylin|Nightsong]], and used it to render him unkillable. | While speaking to NPCs such as [[Jaheira]], [[Z'rell]], and [[Balthazar]], it will be revealed, to some capacity depending on who you speak of, that a magical relic grants Ketheric immortality.

The party may encounter him again at the top of [[Moonrise Towers]] during the siege and are granted a quick exchange with him before combat. Should [[Isobel]] be dead, he will recount his life story, and his sacrifices, blaming the party for her death, but not punishing them, as he wishes to keep up the façade of the [[Absolute]]'s judgement. If [[Aylin]] was saved, she will interrupt the conversation and combat will soon begin. Otherwise, the encounter begins as normal. | The party may encounter him again at the top of [[Moonrise Towers]] during the siege and are granted a quick exchange with him before combat.
