— Mizora |
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 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.
Gameplay

- In combat, she functions essentially as a Sorcerer
- She is Wyll's patron, as such, her fate is intertwined with his
- Due to her importance to Zariel as an infernal lawyer, she doesn't engage in combat and is essentially unkillable thanks to Zariel's Protection
Quests
Encounters
Throughout the game, the party will encounter Mizora a few times.
Act 1
Mizora appears at camp to either punish or reward Wyll, depending on whether Karlach was killed or recruited.
- Rewards Infernal Robe if Karlach was killed, otherwise punishes Wyll.
Act 2
At some point during act two, Mizora will appear before Wyll and the party. She informs Wyll that the Cult of the Absolute have captured an important asset of Zariel, a powerful devil, and that he must rescue them. Stressing out the importance of the mission, Mizora disappears as quickly as the arrived.
Zariel's asset won't be found in Moonrise Towers, but rather in the Mind Flayer Colony where it's revealed that the powerful devil is none other than Mizora herself. Captured as she was navigating the Shadowlands, she was imprisoned in a mind flayer pod, blocking her from any spellcasting and any means of escaping by herself. Now, with Mizora on her back foot for the first time since meeting her, the party can bargain for Wyll's release from the pact in exchange for freeing Mizora. Mizora, and Wyll's fate, can go two ways from here: either Mizora is left to her luck, or killed outright, which also means damning Wyll to an eternity in Avernus as a Lemure; or rescuing her, gracing the party with the devil's gratitude. If Mizora is saved, and convinced to reward the party through a successful Persuasion check, Mizora will reward Wyll with the Infernal Rapier.
Mizora will then appear one last time at the Campsite, where she reveals that an additional clause of the pact allows her to keep Wyll bound for six more months before his official release.
Act 3
Mizora has a much bigger role in Act 3, and taunts Wyll about the fate of his father, Duke Ulder Ravengard.
Wyll's pact
When he was seventeen, Wyll encountered 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.
Spoiler warning! This section reveals Wyll's pact clauses
Some of the clauses are revealed by Mizora throughout the game:
- Clause F § 9: 'Soul-binder shall bestow reward or favour only upon soul-bearer's fulfillment of related obligation.'
- Clause G § 9: 'Targets shall be limited to the infernal, the demonic, the heartless, and the soulless.'
- Clause Z § 13: 'Should the promised soul refuse obeyance or neglect duty, the pact-holder shall cast the promised in Avernus as a lemure.'
- Clause Z § 13: 'If the soul-binder consents to separation, she will release the soul-bearer from all obligation within six months.'
- Addendum F: 'The Absolute must be avenged for the soul-binder's detention at Moonrise. The soul-bearer retains his gifts until such time as the Absolute is slain.'
Dialogue
Act 1
Meeting her in camp after letting Karlach live in Act 1.
- "Well, well. Aren't you a luscious thing?"
- "If we kill Karlach now, will that get rid of you?"
- "You better not lay a damned finger on Karlach."
- "I've heard enough. You're not leaving this place alive."
Combat
Loot
- Infernal Robe - granted by killing Karlach
- Infernal Rapier - granted by saving Mizora and convincing her with a successful Persuasion check
Notes
- Mizora will still grant Wyll his demonic powers even if the contract between them is ended, so long as he avenges her for being captured by the Cult of the Absolute
- Zariel's Protection makes Mizora functionally unkillable. Any damage she takes is reduced to 0 and she will immediately disappear. Bleed-over-time effects will result in Mizora disappearing and reappearing until the effect ends.
