{{Q|The city of stone and steel is an endless scream in nature's womb. I have felt no peace here. Until now.|Zethino}}

'''Zethino''' is a dryad at the [[Circus of the Last Days]]. For a fee, she will offer a test to determine if the love between the player character and a romanced party member will 'stand the test of time.'

Zethino also serves as a vendor of alchemical ingredients, but only the first time she is spoken to by a party member.

Zethino is one of [[Orin|Orin's]] possible disguises. The real Zethino can only be encountered if Orin has already been discovered twice.__TOC__

== Zethino's test of love ==

Picking two or more 'incorrect' answers will result in a more negative comment from the character you did the love test with, while picking two or more 'correct' answers will result in a more positive interaction. 

Completing Zethino's test earns the [[Inspiration|Inspirational Event]] '''A Test of Faithfulness''' ([[Acolyte]] background) and '''Knowledge of the Heart''' ([[Sage]] background).

==Notes==
{{notebegin}}
* Prior to Patch 6, Zethino would refer to Shadowheart as "the dark-haired maiden" even if said maiden had actually adopted white hair as part of her personal overhaul following her abandonment of [[Shar]] worship. This can still occur on consoles even after Patch 6.
