Arunika

The devil Arunika was a succubus and, one of the major players in the struggle to claim Neverwinter from the ashes of the cataclysm which tore the city apart and plunged several factions into contention.

History
Working indirectly, Arunika planned to weaken the warring factions of Thay and the Shadovar by playing them off one another until such a time as they were easy picking for the Abolethic Sovereignty.

Initially, Arunika sides with Herzgo Alegni, the shadovar representative in Neverwinter, thinking he is the most likely to come out on top. Things quickly changed however, when Sylora Salm was defeated by Drizz't Do'Urden and Dahlia Sin'felle; which effectively removed Thay from the equation.

Arunika changed her plans after this. She sensed that Alegni was up against forces that even he could not hope to overcome; accordingly she shifted her intentions. In the ensuing showdown Arunika failed to come to the aid of the supposed ally, instead searching for further information on the dark elf through contacts in the Abyss. As a result, Alegni was defeated at the hands of Drizz't, Dahlia and Artemis Entreri. She continued to make moves from behind the scenes to pave the way for the Sovereignty. However, for her illicit relationship with Alegni, Arunika was killed by Brother Anthus.

Siblings
Arunika has a sister, who was also in league with the Sovereignty, by the name of Rohini who, as of 1478 DR was subsumed by the artifact known as the Hex Locus.
