=== Ketheric Thorm ===
=== Ketheric Thorm ===
After reaching [[Moonrise Towers]] in Act Two, [[Ketheric Thorm]] will be holding court in the throne room. After being pulled into the conversation, the Dark Urge must draw Ketheric's attention by yelling "Don't kill them!", or "Hear, hear!". Ketheric will remark that he is surprised to see the Urge here again, but will give them no further information on their past.

=== The Moonrise crack ===
=== The Moonrise crack ===
High up on the rafters in Moonrise is a cracked wall ({{coords|-127|-178}}), which can be spotted with a DC 5 [[Wisdom]] check. The Urge can interact with it, and even chose to reach their arm inside. The slimy thing in the wall will wrap its tendrils around the Urge's arm, but they must remain still.

The tendrils will tighten, and the presence will reveal itself to be the [[Absolute]]. The Absolute will call the Dark Urge by name, and will reveal that the Urge was part of the Grand Design, but left the Absolute a slave of the Chosen and is now instead a "flaw".

=== Kressa the Myrkulite ===
=== Kressa the Myrkulite ===
Within the barracks of the [[Mind Flayer Colony]] under Moonrise, [[Kressa Bonedaughter]] will recognise the Dark Urge. Not expecting the Urge to talk or have awareness, Kressa will explain how she watched over them and learned about the parasites, stitching them and then opening them back up again.

Not expecting the Urge to talk or have awareness, Kressa will explain how she watched over and healed them, and learned about the parasites. Kressa eventually became obsessed with the Urge, cutting them open to explore their innards, enjoying the way they fought back, that they were "''indomitable''".


=== Old illithid pod ===
=== Old illithid pod ===
Inside the tadpolling centre in the Mind Flayer Colony the Urge will find a broken illithid pod. They can investigate the pod to find that it seems abandoned, rather than just empty, with a dusty and bloody interior. The Urge will infer that the blood and break in the casing implies the occupant took a lot of damage while inside, trying to fight back and throwing themselves against the glass to try and break out.

The Urge will infer from the blood and break in the casing that the occupant took a lot of damage while inside, trying to fight back, and throwing themself against the glass to try and break free.


With a successful Charisma check, the Urge will remember a laughing woman who taunted and betrayed them. With a successful Investigation check, they will find that the blood is still somewhat fresh. Further, if [[Astarion]] is present, he can smell the blood and confirm it to be the Urge's.

=== Enver Gortash ===
=== Enver Gortash ===
After reaching [[Wyrm's Crossing]] in Act Three, [[Enver Gortash]] will invite the Dark Urge to his coronation in the fortress' audience hall.

=== Helsik ===
=== Helsik ===
The diabolist [[Helsik]] will recognise the Dark Urge if they visit her store, the [[Devil's Fee]] in the [[Lower City]]. If the Urge can ask Helsik how she know them, she will explain that she is the "Latchkeeper of the Nine Hells"; someone who breaks people into the Hells. Helsik says that she opened a portal for Gortash and the Urge, and that they stole the Crown of Karsus from the Archdevil [[Mephistopheles]]' vault, gaining the attention of [[Raphael]].
