== Background == | |||
Best described as a sadistic infernal lawyer, Mizora is one of Zariel's most important allies. As Wyll's patron, she is directly related to his fate throughout the game, and the party has to deal with her whether they like it or not. Initially kept a secret by Wyll due to pact clauses, Mizora is the source of his powers and the reason why he was cast out from Baldur's Gate following young Ravengard's massacre of [[Deities#Tiamat|Tiamat]] cultists. Ever since, she's kept Wyll on a leash, using him for her own wicked interests. | |||
Throughout the game, the party has to interact with Mizora, and depending on the choices made, they can have good, neutral or very bad outcomes. Should Wyll follow Mizora's demands to the letter, she will reward him generously; should he be defiant instead, she'll castigate Wyll, though often applauding his spine. | |||

Ultimately, her fate is intertwined with Wyll's. If rescued from the [[Mind Flayer Colony]], she'll reward Wyll and be open to break the contract earlier than expected not long afterwards, becoming a powerful ally. If left to die, or killed altogether, she'll take Wyll back to Avernus as well, forever sealing his fate. | |||

==Wyll's pact== | |||
When he was seventeen, Wyll encountered [[Deities#Tiamat|Tiamat]] cultists in the outskirts of Baldur's Gate, ready to summon the tyrannical dragon goddess to the plane. Eager to stop them, but young and powerless against many armed cultists, Wyll's desperation attracted Mizora who offered him a solution: her powers in exchange of servitude. Wyll didn't hesitate, and together they made quick work of the cult, however, young Ravengard would soon realize the cost of dealing with devils, as one of the many clauses of the pact prevented him from disclosing what happened that night. | |||
When his father, [[Ulder Ravengard]], returned from [[Elturel]] to find his son accompanied by a devil, he demanded an explanation, yet Wyll's tongue was unable to explain what happened, and the scene of the ordeal was conveniently cleaned up. With cold disappointment, his father cast him out from the city, forever exiled to the frontiers. | |||
At the end of Act Two, Mizora will lift Wyll's inability to speak about their pact, allowing him to explain himself to the player as they progress through his story. He will tell the player the entire truth once they encounter [[Ulder Ravengard]] at [[Wyrm's Rock Fortress]]. | |||
