Involvement

Act One

Izwae is the leader of the drow mercenaries hired by  Dhourn to aid in his search for the Adamantine Forge and to help in the betrayal of his fellow drow companions  Filro and  Xargrim. In a confrontation with Xargrim, a  Spectator was unleashed onto the group, petrifying the group for an untold amount of time.

When ambushed and freed by the Spectator, Izwae is under the  Spectator's Charm. Damaging him frees him from the creature's control and he joins the fight against it.

If Dhourn is still alive, Izwae along with any other freed drow turns hostile unless a peaceful outcome plays out. If the mage is dead, Izwae or one of the other mercenaries fill the party in on how they ended up here. While gruff, he also proves to be more grateful, not starting a fight and being more focused on freeing his comrades to then return home.
