We have a note that indicates she grew up in Moonhaven, also known as the Blighted Village. The reference for this is a supposed ambient line said by Shadowheart. The problem is that finding this line online is impossible, and at least I couldn't get it to trigger in-game. In order to verify, we went through the events of the game and the various notes and things don't line up.

[[Moonhaven Logbook]], written a long time ago, indicates the scouting efforts and eventual attacks by Sharrans, in line with Ketheric's growing power as a Shar devout and his Dark Justiciar army, so over a hundred years ago. [[Old Letter]] indicates that a Dark Justiciar has failed to destroy Moonhaven and that as a result, Ketheric is marching there himself to destroy it. Given that we have no official confirmation of what ruined the village, we can safely assume that Ketheric was successful and the reason for the village's destruction. If so, Shadowheart would have to be over 100 years old to have grown up in Moonhaven, but as she says herself and as confirmed by Viconia's writings, she's roughly 50.

Furthermore, there's also the unique scene involving Sharran helmets in Early Access, where she would reveal that the village was destroyed some point in the past. These helmets do not appear in the full release of the game, and the scene is inaccessible.  


The counterpoint to this is [[Regarding Strange Riders in These Parts]] which seems to indicate that Moonhaven still exists in some form after those events, given that in Forgotten Realms lore Elturgard is expanding mid 15th century. Another possibility is that the town was built, destroyed, rebuilt again and destroyed once more, but it seems like a somewhat convoluted series of events for a small village.

Whatever the case, what Shadowheart's hometown is, is not as clear as initially thought, and we could really use more information on this. If anyone gets to trigger this line of hers mentioned, and post it here or the Discord (ping me or bobdodo), it would be greatly appreciated. Likewise for any other type or information or theories. --[[User:Emeff|Emeff]] ([[User talk:Emeff|talk]]) 10:59, 2 February 2024 (CET)
