Shadowheart

Shadowheart was a half-elf cleric of Shar who became involved with the machinations of the Absolute during the late 15 century DR.

- Shadowheart, regarding her goddess Shar.

Description
"A woman with shadows for eyes—deep as the Darklake."

- Gale

Shadowheart had fairly short dark-brown hair on the sides, but long hair tied up at the back with multiple rings. She wore a circlet over her fringe, leather gloves and a chain shirt that was emblazoned with symbols of of her faith.

Personality
Shadowheart was a devout Sharran with a distinct sense of duty that held about her own interests. She was not one to get easily distracted when focused on goal and did not abide others disrespecting her boundaries, especially matters she considered private.

Fitting for someone of her faith, Shadowheart held the goddess Selûne and her followers in extremely low regard.

She was particularly fond of night orchids.

Shadowheart carried a mace, a shield, along with two potions of healing, and several scrolls: two of revivify and one of detect thoughts.

She could not swim very well at all.

History
"It's called faith. Duty. It doesn't have to add up to me so long as I serve. I'm part of a bigger plan – one that will be revealed in time."

Shadowheart had some sort of association with the village of Moonhaven, recognizing items that were left there as part of some ancient battle.

Circa the, Shadowheart was sent on a suicidal mission to obtain an extremely powerful and mysterious artifact and tasked with returning it to Baldur's Gate. Prior to leaving, she willingly agreed to have her memories erased from her mind. She was promised they would be restored to her upon successful completion of her mission.

The dark cleric began to wrestle with a source of uncontrollable magic, as well as her faith to the Mistress of the Night.

Some time later, the half-elf was captured by mind flayers aboard a nautiloid, and an illithid tadpole was inserted into her via her eye. After the nautiloid was taken down by githyanki and their red dragon mounts, Shadowheart found herself in the Western Heartlands, awakened with new powers. She immediately tried to find a healer.
