A {{FRWiki|Shadar-kai (elf)|Shadar-Kai}} called He Who Was (X:126, Y:105) can be found in the Ruined Battlefield east of the [[Last Light Inn]]. He has a ritual circle set up and is using [[Speak with Dead]] on a corpse. He Who Was initially tells the party to clear off, but his white raven suggests they might be able to help. He explains that the woman is [[Madeline]], and she is a murderer. She worked at [[The Waning Moon]] and kept logs on all her patrons, betraying their secrets to the Dark Justiciars. He asks the party to find [[Madeline's Ledger]] at the tavern and bring it back.

The Waning Moon is in [[Reithwin Town]], east of the Tollhouse and west of the Road to Baldur's Gate Waypoint. When the party enters, a cutscene is initiated with the bartender, [[Thisobald Thorm]]. The party must either fight the bartender, or pass several checks. There are three Constitution or Sleight of Hand checks, and three Performance checks.

The ledger is behind the bar, under a loose plank (X:-223, Y:-78) that is detected with a Perception check. Open it and take the ledger, then return to the Ruined Battlefield to speak with He Who Was.

If the player hands the ledger to He Who Was, he will perform a ritual to channel Madeline's spirit through his own body, allowing the player to speak to her.

If Madeline is made to stab herself once, or is shamed as a coward, then He Who Was will be satisfied with the results and gives the party the {{RarityItem|Raven Gloves}} as a reward. If you forgive her, or make her stab herself a second time, he will become enraged and attack the party. (Each stab inflicts 5 damage, which will carry over into combat.) Failing any of the rolls will have the connection fade, and while He Who Was will be slightly disappointed, he will still reward your efforts.

[[The Dark Urge]] may have a special interaction with Madeline if they previously {{Linkblur|killed their dearest companion}}. They will share this with her and say there can be no atonement for such a deed, at which point Madeline will become overwhelmed with guilt and fade away, with the same results as shaming her for her cowardice but requiring no Persuasion checks. (He Who Was will also comment on the Dark Urge's guilt, but will not attack.)
