Overview[edit | edit source]

Background[edit | edit source]

While an advisor, she prefers to be direct and on-hand when it comes to handling problems that plague the city, such as the disappearance of Ulder Ravengard. Being such a straightforward and honest leader makes her quite a rarity in the corrupt ranks of the city's elite.

Main article: Rescue the Grand Duke

Florrick can first be encountered at Waukeen's Rest on The Risen Road leading west towards the Mountain Pass. When the player arrives, the place is on fire after an attack by goblins and drow serving the Cult of the Absolute.

She and her Flaming Fist troops are still planning a rescue for Ravengard. Without a safe way through the cursed shadows surrounding Moonlight Towers, her efforts unfortunately are in vain.
