Dame Aylin is an aasimar NPC who appears in Baldur's Gate 3. She is first introduced during Act Two, and her story plays a key role in the mysteries surrounding the Shadow-Cursed Lands and Moonrise Towers.

Background

Spoiler warning! This section reveals details about the story of Baldur's Gate 3.

Dame Aylin, also known by the moniker of Nightsong, is a daughter of the Goddess Selûne, and as a result is effectively immortal. Multiple characters, including the necromancer Balthazar, have imprisoned or sought to imprison Aylin in order to exploit this immortality for their own purposes.

Aylin's story is closely intertwined with that of the cleric, Isobel. At the conclusion of Act Two, under the right circumstances, the player will learn that Aylin and Isobel are (or were) lovers.

Act Two

Act 2 Spoilers! This section reveals details about the story of Baldur's Gate 3.

During the final stages of act two, Dame Aylin can be found imprisoned in the Shadowfell, being used as a source of immortality for Ketheric Thorm. Aylin can be killed (if Shadowheart is present), brought to Moonrise Towers by Balthazar, or set free. If she is set free, she will fly to Moonrise Towers, where she must be freed again during the confrontation with Ketheric, and will then join the fight as an ally.

After defeating Ketheric, Aylin will reunite with Isobel (if she is alive), whom she believed dead. The two can become camp followers at this point.

Act Three

Act 2 Spoilers! This section reveals details about the story of Baldur's Gate 3.

While travelling in the city, the player can discover that the wizard Lorroakan is offering a reward in exchange for the Nightsong. Lorroakan can be convinced that Dame Aylin is dead, however if she is informed of his search, she will fly to Sorcerous Sundries to face him regardless, convinced that he will not stop searching for her.

The player can finally side with Lorroakan and capture Aylin, or side with Aylin and attack Lorroakan. If Lorroakan is killed, Aylin will appear dispirited. Party companions can offer their thoughts; that perhaps she is tired of revenge or was reminded of those who sought to use her in the past. After a long rest, she and Isobel will depart from camp to help a Selûne enclave outside the city. They will later be at High Hall during the final fight to lend aid.

Gameplay

Combat

Depending on the player's choices, Aylin can appear during several combat encounters as an allied, neutral, or hostile entity.
Aylin cannot fully die from combat. If her HP reaches 0, then she will become "downed" for one turn.
If downed during combat, Aylin will attempt to regain 1 HP on the following turn. This healing can be prevented by certain effects, such as Bone Chilled, but she will continue attempting to heal on subsequent turns until she is finally up.

Camp Recruitment

It is possible for Aylin to become a partial camp follower if she survives the events of Act Two, but she will eventually leave the camp again upon resolution of certain quests in Act Three.

Trivia

In combat, if Dame Aylin's HP is drained to 0 it resets back to full.
The name Aylin is of Turkish origin and fittingly means "The one that belongs to the moon."
