If siding with the Absolute, she appears as an ally during {{Quest|Raid the Grove}}.

After recruiting Minthara, she has a personal interest in destroying the Cult of the Absolute and killing {{CharLink|Orin|Orin the Red}} for revenge, therefore completing {{Quest|Get Orin's Netherstone}}. Orin killed Minthara's drow companions and tortured and enslaved her to the Cult of the Absolute through implanting a tadpole in Minthara's brain.
