== Cut Background Goals ==

* '''Soul Warden:''' Save [[Nadira]] from the bugbear assassin.
** While this event is still present in the game, completing it does not seem to award this inspiration.
* '''Liberator:''' Liberate the enthralled fishermen from the mindflaye
** The enthralled fishermen were a group encountered in the crashed Mindflayer ship during early access but were removed for the release version, making this goal unobtainable.
