At some point during Shadowheart's last stages of training, whispers of the rise of a mysterious cult would reach the Mother Superior's ears. This [[Cult of the Absolute]] as it was being called, was quickly gaining traction among the populace and threatened the Sharran influence over the city.{{ref|name=cult|Cloister of Sombre Embrace, lines spoken by Viconia DeVir when parlaying with her.<br>''"Whispers reached my ears from all corners - potential rivals of Lady Shar, all vying for the same prize.

Should Shadowheart have chosen to remain in Shar's embrace, she will have become the new Mother Superior of the Sharran cloister in Baldur's Gate, operating from the House of Grief. In the months since, word of Lady of Loss has spread far and wide, thanks to the efforts of Shadowheart. If romanced, Shadowheart will end the relationship prior to this, explaining that she needs to be fully devoted to her goddess. She will agree to be kissed for old times' sake, but remains faithful to Shar. Shadowheart also expresses sympathy for Viconia's fate, now able to understand what she went through as Mother Superior. | Should Shadowheart have chosen to remain in Shar's embrace, she will have become the new Mother Superior of the Sharran cloister in Baldur's Gate, operating from the House of Grief.

== Associations with Moonhaven == | |||
Shadowheart has multiple ties to the village of Moonhaven, which appears as the [[Blighted Village]] in the game, destroyed after decades of conflict. She has two exclusive scenes that can trigger in there when she is taken with as a companion, or when going to the village for the first time when she is played as an origin character. Only one of these scenes will trigger in a single playthrough: | |||
* She has a unique scene when interacting with the [[Old Schoolbook]] item in the village, causing her scar to flare up in pain. | |||
* She has a scene triggered by walking near the statue behind the mill in the village. | |||
In addition to these two scenes, she had an additional 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. | |||
