Involvement

Act Two

Moonrise Towers

Zira is first encountered in the Moonrise Towers Prison, conversing with fellow drow Zealot Soreni about the fates of the True Souls that have received audiences from Ketheric Thorm and the Absolute.

Should the party attempt to  help the gnomes and  tieflings escape from the prison, Zira can join The Warden in pursuit of the escapees should the cells be opened (either by the party, or by the Warden). Zira can engage the prisoners in combat and kill them if the party do not intervene.

Defending Moonrise Towers

If the Nightsong is freed and the Harpers launch their assault on Moonrise Towers, Zira is killed during the subsequent battle. Her corpse can be found on the bridge leading into Moonrise Towers proper, at X: -153 Y: -114.
