Shadowheart: Difference between revisions

'''Shadowheart''' is a [[Half-Elf]] trickster domain [[cleric]] of Shar, who appears in Baldur's Gate 3 as a side character or origin character. She is also available as a [[companion]]. You can recruit her by freeing her from the Mind Flayer pod, and can be found unconscious close to your character after the crash. Otherwise, she will be found near the ruins of the crashed Nautiloid, trying to use her weapon to open a door.

== Background ==

Shadowheart is a Half-Elf cleric of the goddess [https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Shar Shar]. Before the events of Baldur's Gate 3, Shadowheart was a part of a small group of Shar worshippers who boarded the Nautiloid that attacks Baldur's Gate, prior to the beginning of the game. Her strike team is eliminated by the [[Mind Flayer|Mind Flayers]], and she is captured. She can then be discovered by the player and potentially freed. Shadowheart carries a strange and powerful artifact, that she recovered from the Nautiloid.

 

Shadowheart is reserved and hesitant to reveal information about herself, her motives, or the artifact she carries. She is often indifferent to the plight of others, however, she does not explicitly take pleasure in the suffering of others, and she will disapprove of certain actions deemed unnecessarily cruel or violent. She has a particular dislike of [[Githyanki]] such as [[Lae'zel]]. She will usually approve of finding non-violent solutions to situations and treating animals and children with compassion.

As a cleric, Shadowheart is capable of casting spells, healing and buffing allies, and tanking damage for her party.
