Cavatina Xarann

was one of the most important characters in the Lady Penitent Trilogy. Cavatina was born into the worship of Eilistraee, being the daughter of the sword-dancer Jetel Xarran. She would later on become a Darksong Knight, a prestige class among the ranks of Eilistraee's faithful, who hunts demons and other foul entities that threaten the worship of Eilistraee. During the events of the first part of the trilogy, Cavatina found Halisstra Melarn, now transformed into the bestial Lady Penitent, and with her departed for the Demonweb Pits to retrieve the Crescent Blade. Cavatina succeeded and was even able to slay the demigod Selvetarm as she was making her escape.
