{{Priority}}

[[File:Shadowheart Icon.png|right|100px]]'''Daughter of Darkness''' is the [[Companion]] [[quest]] for [[Shadowheart]]. It is automatically added to your journal if Shadowheart joins the party officially after the events of the [[Prologue]].{{SpoilerWarning}}

*Continue travelling with [[Shadowheart]].

**We recruited a [[Half-Elf|half-elf]] named [[Shadowheart]]. She was also aboard the [[Nautiloid]] - and infected with a parasite.

**We learned that Shadowheart needs to reach [[Baldur's Gate]] to fulfil a mission for her goddess - though the details of that mission are a mystery

**Although Shadowheart tried to hide it, we discovered that she worships the goddess Shar. We need to ensure she doesn't keep anything else from us.

**Shadowheart told us she allowed her memory to be suppressed so she can serve Shar without compromising her.

 

* We learned that Shadowheart is on a mission for Shar: she needs to bring that strange [[githyanki]] [[Mysterious Artefact|artefact]] to [[Baldur's Gate]].

* Shadowheart spoke of the [[Mother Superior]] - her mentor, and leader of a cloister of Shar worshippers. This mysterious figure raised and trained Shadowheart.

* We encouraged [[Shadowheart]] to find a way to prevent her wound from tormenting her. Though she feels the suffering is part of her faith, she conceded that she would rather live without it.

* We learned that it was the [[Mother Superior]] herself who inflicted Shadowheart with the mysterious wound that does not heal.

* We witnessed Shadowheart react with alarm on encountering a wolf. She seems to have a deep-seated fear of them; we should see if she's willing to talk about it.[[File:Shadowheart_Child.webp|thumb|Young Shadowheart in the woods]]

* Shadowheart decided to share an old memory with us - one of a few spared from her amnesia. We saw her as a lost child, being pursued by a wolf through a dark forest. Some Shar worshippers, led by the masked [[Mother Superior]], came to her rescue and took her into their care. Though Shadowheart reflected on the memory with gratitude towards her saviours, we couldn't help but point out that it seemed manipulative to ensnare a child in such a way.

* Shadowheart revealed to us that she has long-dreamed of becoming a [[Dark Justiciar]]. Her Mother Superior always thwarted her ambitions, however.

* We convinced Shadowheart to eat the [[Noblestalk]], suspecting that its curative properties may help her amnesia. The effects of the mushroom briefly restored a fragmented memory from her youth that suggested she may have a friend out there somewhere. Perhaps a reunion beckons.

* We discovered that Shadowheart possesses a certain amount of resistance to the ill effects of the [[Shadow-Cursed Lands|shadow curse]]. It seems that this must be due to Shar's patronage - but given the mercurial nature of the dark goddess, the extent of her protection remains to be seen.

* We gifted Shadowheart a [[Night Orchid]] - her favourite flower. She was greatly appreciative of the gesture.

== INVESTIGATE THE GAUNTLET OF SHAR. ==

* We discovered the [[Gauntlet of Shar]] - a huge, ancient temple dedicated to the dark goddess. [[Shadowheart]] will surely want to investigate further.

== DEFEAT KETHERIC THORM. ==

* [[Shadowheart]] has slain the [[Nightsong]], and has risen as the last Dark Justiciar conferred by the [[Gauntlet of Shar]]. Her goddess commanded her to carry out a purge of disloyal elements amongst her worshippers, starting with the traitor, [[Ketheric Thorm]].
