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.

Appearance
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.

Equipment
She 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.

History
Dahlia's village was attacked by the Netherese when she was 12 and, her mother was murdered. The same person who she witnessed killing her mother, a 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 the bandit camp that Herzgo and his comrades had made. She called his name for a long time summoning the bandits and, in the end, Herzgo himself. Once he arrived she threw the newborn off of the cliff. Her son, Effron survived the fall, though he was crippled as a result, and consumed with hatred for his mother. Alegni took him in and raised him as Shadovar but, his father hated him for his weakness as well as the constant reminder of Dahlia's defiance.

Later, now in service to Thay, and Szass Tam (so that she could continue to kill Shadovar in defiance of the violation she suffered), she was tasked with the release of the primordial within Gauntlgrym by Sylora Salm. She arranged for 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 and Dor'crae along with help from the Thayan wizard Sylora Salm. This caused the cataclysmic destruction of the city of Neverwinter. Dahlia was then forced to serve Sylora in Neverwinter's Woods as a punishment.

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