Korliss

Not to be confused with Corliss Undertump

True Soul Korliss is a deceased Half-Elf member of the Cult of the Absolute and True Soul. Her body can be found in the Ruined Battlefield in the area with the lit torches.

Involvement

At some point before the party's arrival, Korliss was indoctrinated into the Cult of the Absolute and made a True Soul. Charged by Ketheric Thorm with the mission to scout out and locate a nest of non-believers, she set out east from Moonrise Towers to the ruins of the village by the Ruined Battlefield, where she was stalked by the shadows and attempted to evade them, though she still ultimately perished later.

Casting  Speak with Dead on her reveals she was attacked by Shadow Mastiffs but managed to repel them by lighting torches with the Continual Flame spell. Unfortunately, with her protected area surrounded by Shadow Mastiffs, she was unable to leave her safety cordon and would soon die of hunger and thirst before being able to accomplish her mission.

The party can then destroy the torches which will trigger an attack by three Shadow Mastiffs led by a Shadow Mastiff Alpha.
