Dahlia Sin'felle

Dahlia Sin'felle, originally known as Dahlia Syn'dalay, was a promising young elf in the service of Szass Tam, until she released a primordial hidden in the lost dwarven kingdom of Gauntlgrym.

Description
Dahlia was a beautiful, tall, blue eyed elf with a head shaved clean but for a single braid of raven black and cardinal red locks, woven to run down the right side of her shapely head. She wore a set of diamonds in her left ear (one for each of the lovers she had killed) and a set of sparkling studs in her right (for lovers she had yet to kill). Like most Thayans of the day, she tattooed her head with blue and purple dye. She would wear a crimson gown, sleeveless and backless, and cut low in the front.

Possessions
Dahlia carried a potent weapon known as Kozah's Needle which could switch forms between an eight-foot staff, a flail, a tri-staff and a walking stick. Dahlia also carried the Cloak of the Crow, an enchanted cloak that turned the wearer into a giant crow, which she took after defeating Borlann, High Captain of Luskan. However, the cloak was later taken by Sylora Salm and recovered again by Dahlia after after her and her companions Drizzt Do'Urden and Barrabus the Gray defeated Sylora Salm.

History
Dahlia's village was attacked by the Netherese when she was 12. Her mother was murdered and the killer, a shadovar tiefling named Herzgo Alegni, raped her. As a result of the violation she gave birth to his child. Afterwards, she brought the infant to the top of a cliff near Alegni's camp. She called his name until Herzgo came to investigate the noise himself. Once he arrived she threw the newborn off of the cliff. Her son survived the fall, though he was crippled as a result. Alegni took him in and raised him as Shadovar, naming him Effron but, his father hated him for his weakness as well as the constant reminder of Dahlia's defiance.

Dahlia grew to be a fine warrior and entered into the service of Szass Tam (so that she could continue to kill shadovar in retaliation for the violation she suffered), she was tasked with the release of the primordial within Gauntlgrym by Sylora Salm. She arranged for the drow Jarlaxle, and his dwarf companion Athrogate, along with Valindra Shadowmantle, to accompany her and Korvin Dor'crae (her vampire lover) on the quest; luring the drow and dwarf with promised treasure. She later questioned her decision and tried to stop Athrogate from freeing the fire beast but she was sabotaged by Valindra Shadowmantle, Dor'crae and Sylora Salm. This caused the cataclysmic destruction of the city of Neverwinter. Dahlia was then forced to serve Sylora in Neverwinter Wood as punishment for her disobedience.

After it was revealed that the primordial would rise again to strike the newly rebuilt Neverwinter, she allied herself with Drizzt Do'Urden and Bruenor Battlehammer, who had been asked by Jarlaxle to help in their quest, and together they journeyed to Gauntlgrym once more, to stop the beast from reawakening.

Following their adventures in Neverwinter, Dahlia travelled with Drizzt and his group of followers to Port Llast, which had been negatively affected during the spellplague. After a year of defending the town and rebuilding and extending the seawall, the group travelled to Luskan to negotiate peace between the High Captains and the newly resettled Llast. During this time the drow had come to re involve themselves in the affairs in the City of Sails, and Drizzt and his companions were to set out on a freighter. Although told they would be coming for defence, the true purpose was to keep Drizzt away from Tiago Baenre.

Following the arrival of the ship into Baldur's Gate, Dahlia was captured by her son Effron, now a capable Warlock. After several days as a prisoner, she was rescued by her companions and Effron was captured in turn. After several months at sea the mother and son began to bridge the gap created by Dahlia's actions years before, and he eventually disclosed that Drizzt's oldest companion, Guenhwyvar had been taken captive by a powerful Netherese Warlock, Draygo Quick.

Accompanying Drizzt into the Shadowfell, the group managed to enter Draygo's tower. However, the powerful Shadovar has planned for their arrival and manages to trap Drizzt and Effron, while transforming Dalhia and Artemis Entreri into stone.

Several months later, Jarlaxle managed to free the companions and return Dahlia to flesh again. He recommends that the group travels north, away from the forces of Tiago Baenre. Dahlia accompanied Drizzt north into the Spine of the World and then to Ten-Towns. Dahlia became increasingly displeased with Drizzt attempting to find evidence of Iruladoon, where he'd previously heard his wife and friends might be. He decided to lead the companions onto the ice in search of the migratory Tribe of the Elk, who had reportedly seen a magical forest with a dancing 'witch' that manifested and disappeared almost as quickly. However, when on the glacier, a magical sleep affects the companions, and the forest appears around them.

When Dahlia and the rest of Drizzt's companions awake, 18 years have passed, and the group is no longer welcome in Ten-Towns due to an attack by Errtu on the cities. An event which Tiago Baenre had convinced people that Drizzt was responsible for over sixty seasons prior. Dahlia and the group urged Drizzt to come back south, citing that the 18 year period has essentially wiped the slate clean. However, Drizzt rebukes her stating that even with her death his heart belonged to Cattie-brie, and Dahlia finally decides to end their relationship as she has done with all the past lovers - in battle. Though unlike her previous lovers Dahlia showed both anger and genuine emotional sadness as she carried out the deed, being brought to tears as the fight progress. Despite both knowing he was the better fighter, and the most likely winner, Drizzt was unable to bring himself to harm her, allowing Dahlia to inflict serious injuries onto the Drow. Dahlia appears to leave in the company of Artemis, Ambergris, Effron and Afafrenfere towards the south. However, Drizzt's fate is unknown; having disappeared without a trail with horrific injury on his head.
