Sister Anya was an undead nurse who worked alongside Malus Thorm, a servant of the goddess Shar, of the House of Healing in the town of Reithwin throughout the 15th century DR.[1]

Be still darling. Let Sister Anya comfort you.
— Sister Anya[1]

Description[]

Anya was a pale-skinned, shambling, undead creature of some sentience. Like other sisters, she was dressed in the elaborate garb of a nurse with a headdress that covered the creature's eyes, leaving only her necrotic lips and cheeks exposed.[1]

Abilities[]

Like other sisters, Anya was armed with an enchanted +1 syringe and had the ability to release a mind screech – a powerful psionic attack that clawed at and damaged the living creatures' souls.[1]

History[]

Sister Anya lived in the town of Reithwin in the Western Heartlands before its fall sometime before the Year of Deaths Unmourned, 1394 DR. During that time, Hunna and other sisters performed healing and various medical procedures in Reithwin's House of Healing. The nurses entertained themselves by making wagers on what sorts of foreign objects they would extract after being lodged in their patients' backside orifice. Anya's bets included an ogre's finger, a minotaur's horn, and her highest bet – a troll's tooth.[1]

At some point during the town's fall into dark worship of Shar or after the Shadow-cursed Lands consumed Reithwin in the late 14th century DR, Sister Anya perished and was changed by the dark Shadowfell magic. As of the late 15th century DR, Malus Thorm and his nurses operated out of the House of Healing in the Shadow-cursed lands. They spent their unlives "experimenting" on innocents that either wandered, or were brought against their will, into his hospital. Malus attempted to teach his Sister the finer arts of what he called surgery but was ultimately unsuccessful.[1]

Sister Anya's fate after turning undead remained unconfirmed. She could've been slain by the True Heroes of Baldur's Gate during their quest to stop the Cult of the Absolute or left in peace in the shadow-consumed House of Healing.[1]
