— Asharak teaching the children to defend themselves

Involvement

Act One

Asharak can first be encountered in the training area of The Hollow inside the Emerald Grove, training Ide, Gan, and Umi to fight near Wyll. Asharak will ask the player character to inspire the children to fight.

If Zevlor dies during Act One, Asharak is one of his possible replacements.

If the party travel to the Mountain Pass or Shadow-Cursed Lands before resolving Kagha's ritual the Rite of Thorns, the tieflings will be expelled from the Emerald Grove and Asharak's corpse can be found among the pile of refugees near the bridge to the Blighted Village.

In the event that Minthara and her raiding party is primed to assault the Emerald Grove, Asharak will be among the first line of defence atop the gate, alongside Arka, Elegis, and Zevlor.

Act Two

If Asharak survives the events at Emerald Grove, his body can be found in the Shadow-Cursed Lands X: -9 Y: 54 among the tiefling refugees that did not make it to Last Light Inn. Alfira's testimony reveals that he was caring for the children when the fighting stopped, and was tortured by the Absolutists with the removal of his tongue and eyes before he was eventually killed or succumbed to his wounds.
