History
In the, Xalliana was due to meet the fellow Harper known as Seven Toes at the Broken Crown inn on the High Road north of Neverwinter. She did not make it—her ship was smashed on the rocks off Raven Cliff Beach after the Blackdagger Bandits extinguished the warning beacons so they could loot the stricken and wrecked ships. Xalliana survived and made it ashore, taking shelter in a cave in the cliffs, but she'd lost her equipment and sealed orders.

A day or so later, Seven Toes grew worried and asked an adventurer sent by Sergeant Alphonse Knox of Neverwinter to look for her body, giving a description for the purpose. Not finding her, the adventurer lit the beacons as a Harper signal to find Xalliana. She explained what had happened and asked them to recover her orders, equipment, and supplies from the Blackdaggers' salvage, and to slay some of the salvagers while they were at it.

Xalliana's orders pertained to Blackdagger leader Traven Blackdagger and his four intermediaries. She located Marion Hexbane, who oversaw the wrecking and salvaging operation, had the adventurer find her in a sea cave close by and kill her. From Marion's journal and map, Xalliana had leads on the other Blackdagger leaders. In particular, she learned that Krag Foultooth was extorting a dwarf merchant named Melkhor Goldseeker and sent the adventurer to investigate. Later, she passed on a message through Yates for the adventurer to meet Garl Gnarlclaw to continue the fight. Ultimately, the adventurer was able to enter Blackdagger Keep and kill the bandits' leaders: Malus and Traven Blackdagger and the Red Wizard necromancer Kallos Tam.
