Character Name: Kolnatha Shavval
Age: 70
Canon: Forgotten Realms
Canon Point: 1491 DR
Character History:
Born to a lesser noble house who had long since fallen out of favor of the Spider Queen, life started out hard. Usually in drow traditions a twin birth was celebrated. Was a sign of fertility and power for the Mother Matron. A good omen her house sorely needed. However, no feast was held that night. Once Kolnatha entered the world, her younger brother, Rhyle, followed shortly after. A male. Inferior blood. Blood which she shared with him. It would forever be a dark mark that Koh would carry for the rest of her life. Despite all judgmental stares and foul rumors that circulated about her, Kolnatha was very close to her brother as they grew up. She's heard all the stories about how males paled in comparison to their female counterparts. It was not a sentiment she shared. Rhyle and her were one, equal. Birthed from the same womb. They were connected, a bond so deep that only other twins could understand.

From the moment either of them could walk, they were trained by the blade. Life as a drow living in the Underdark was cruel by most standards of the land above. Most kids her age all they had to worry about were scraped knees and runny noses. Koh went to bed with bruises all over her body and callused hands. One had to learn how to fight and fend for yourself or it could mean death down in the dark. Not just from the vile creatures that called this place their home, but from other rival drow as well. This constant dance for power was one Koh had to learn, though she lacked the tenacity typical of her kin. There had always been a tenderness to her, in the way she spoke and how she held herself. Love and compassion are seen as weakness amongst her people and had no place in the pursuit of ambitions. Again, they blamed the impurity of her birth for these flaws. Her brother was a bad influence on her. No matter how they tried to separate them, they would always find each other, drawn like a magnet. Rhyle was her world, the one thing that kept her grounded. No matter what happened, they would have each other to lean on. That was until they both started to show a tendency to wield magic. Her talent wasn't fully nurtured but Rhyle had a gift. It had caught the attention of another matron and a deal was struck.

Awoken one night drenched in sweat, Koh felt something was wrong. Running to where her brother was kept, she found the room empty. He had been sold to an unnamed matron to an unknown place beyond her reach. It was like a part of her soul was torn from her that night. Their separation was all a part of her matron's devious plan to slice out Kolnatha's perceived weakness as well as gaining more politician power in the sale. Though her plan only half worked. Since the day her brother was taken from her, Koh's resolve hardened. They would not break her. Not with her brother out there lost somewhere. After countless years of trying to reforge her into the blade they wanted to smith, it became clear that no matter how much they hammer her, she was unyielding. So, her Mother Matron devised a plan. To send Koh out on a solo mission in which the stakes were high. A suicide mission. If she refused, her House would kill her or even worse… turn her into a drider. Either way, Koh’s hands were tied. Choosing to flee the Underdark was the toughest decision she had to make. With all its danger, it was her home. And the thought of leaving her brother tore her heart to shreds.
Facing the perils of the Underdark alone took every ounce of her strength and cunning to survive. By the time she clawed her way out of the dark, it was nightfall on the land above. Koh found herself in a dense wooded forest and she thought she heard…. Singing? As a child she had been told horror stories about never following songs at night. But exhausted, if it meant finding help, she would take that risk. Stumbling through the brush Koh found herself in a moonlit glade where the most beautiful drow maiden she had ever seen was dancing naked in the pale light. It was the goddess Eilistraee and from there, she took the lost drow in. For the next few years, Koh would learn to adjust to life on the surface living that the temple. Surrounded by others like her, a new purpose blossomed within her. Before living under the cruel will of the Spider Queen, Koh would not have been one of faith. However, as she learned of the Dark Maiden's teachings something in her stirred. From there, the rest is history. For several years Koh called the monastery her home, learning about the Surface and her new faith. Finding a new purpose under her devotion to Eilistraee, Koh eventually sets off to wander the lands of Faerun in search of leads to find her brother, and to help those in need along the way.

🦋 Personality


Option 1: Answer the following questions. Elaborate on the answer, especially your characters thoughts and feelings surrounding the answer. For Canon Characters, you can choose four questions. For Original Characters, you will need to choose six questions. Keep the word count to 150-400 per question.
  1. Has your character always believed in magic? Do they have something influencing their perspective on the supernatural/metaphysical/spiritual from their past? How do they feel about magic?


  2. Koh has always believed in magic. Coming from a world where magic is quite common and her twin brother growing up to show talent to entune himself with the Weave, the pure magical source of her world, how could she not? While not the same as Rhyle, Koh can also use magic through the power of her faith. Koh has a love-hate for the metaphysical-spiritual side of things. Growing up under Lolth, she has seen the darkness that comes through faith under cruel forces. It wasn’t until she fled the Underdark and ran into Eilistraee that she learned that faith can also be healing. Besides all that. Koh loves magic, mostly due to her brother being a wizard. Seeing the joy in his face when he would show her new spells filled her with warmth. That’s why she loves to read texts about magic even if she doesn’t fully understand how to use magic like wizards. It makes her feel close to him.

  3. What mythological creature would your character most like to be? Which do they identify with? Which would they dread being? Feel free to use our Bestiary for reference.


  4. If there was one mythological creature that Koh would like to be something with wings. Though not a dragon. She has had a bad run in with them in the past. More in the vane of a pegasus or a griffon. Even though she does have a fear of flight, being able to fly would be different. To her, the idea of flight is freedom. Being trapped underneath the Surface for almost all her life, being able to bask in the sunlight in the sky is the ultimate symbol of freedom. However, if we’re talking about which creature she would relate to the most it would be any creature that people assume to be bad or evil, simply by what they are. Like the giant cave spiders from back home. She’s grown up around spiders all her life and she has seen them used as tools, much like her own people. But also to that point, she would hate to be one. More due to that one of Lolth’s forms that of a half-woman, half-spider and Koh wants nothing to do with the Spider Queen. Being turned into a drider is a common threat aimed at drow who don’t fall in line or are seen as weak.

  5. If your character could ask for one wish, and it's going to be magically granted without any consequence, what will it be and why?


  6. No brainer, she would ask to turn back time to the night she lost Rhyle. In drow culture, family ties aren’t strong, as mothers don’t show affection for their children. They are born to serve their House, their Matron, and most of all, the Spider Queen. So Koh and Rhyle were unusual. Growing up, they grew close to one another, not knowing who their mother was. They were the only family each other knew, besides the Matron who led their House. Rhyle was her everything, her rock. But males are seen as lesser in her culture, a belief she never grew to share being his twin, his blood. When they were growing up, she tried her best to protect him from the other females of her House. When he started to show that he could use magic, they hid it. But it was found out about his ‘value’ and he was secretly sold to a different House. She would do anything to get her brother back.

  7. What song would a siren sing to your character to lure them closer? Why?


  8. Ha! The funny thing is, Koh has sort of done this already. Though not a siren, the goddess Eilistraee is known for luring lost drow through song to lead them back to the light. Which is why there are drow bedtime stories warning little drowlings to never follow singing at night under the moon. This is how Koh stumbled upon her. So, if a real siren was singing a song to lure Koh, its message would be one of hope. Or a song of finding something that has been long since lost after a long journey. Two things that she actively holds dear. What drives her forward is hope, hope that she can make a difference, to help her people, to find Rhyle. If they really wanted to be cruel, whisper promises that they had found her brother. If there was even a sliver of a chance she would find him, she would chase it.

  9. If there's one person your character would follow to another realm, who would it be and why? If there's no one, state that and explain why.


  10. There would be two people that she would follow into another realm without question. First one would be her twin Rhyle. If it's not clear by now, Koh shares a deep love for her brother. He is the only living soul that she considers her family. The one bright spot in her life when she was living in the Underdark. When he was sold, her light was stolen. If she ever finds him again, even if it was a trick of the light, Koh would blindly follow anything that looks like him. Even if all the nerves in body were screaming ‘it's a trap’, there will always be a part of her holding on to hope that it was real. It wouldn’t matter where it was taking them, as long as they were back together. The other one would be her goddess Eilistraee. Koh believes wholeheartedly in Eilistraee’s vision to free her people from her mother’s grasp, Lolth. In all her years following the Dark Maiden, she has never led her astray. If she was going to a different realm, she would follow with an open heart.

  11. Your character gets to return home, but when they do they learn that they've been gone for hundreds of years. How do they react?


Oh man, if she returned back to Faerun to find out that hundreds of years had gone by? Koh would be beside herself. Even though her kin are long lived, much like the elven relatives, it is rare to see drow above the age of 300 due to their brutal lifestyle. Her thoughts would go to Rhyle. She is a young drow, only being 70, but she has been torn away from him at the age of 18. If by some miracle that it was still alive, would he be the same? Would he be alive? Would they have broken him to the point where he wouldn’t even know her? Already she bears the guilt of not being able to find him when she was there. Took her around 50 years to get out of the Underdark. And even when she was free, she couldn’t search for him right away. She needed to adjust to life on the Surface. So knowing that all that time he has been alone and is most likely dead… I think this would be the thing that would completely shatter her hope. She wouldn’t know what to do with herself. She would be a hollowed out husk.

Option 2: You may instead choose words from the following list to expand upon as your personality section. Elaborate on what this word means to your character, specifically their thoughts about it. For Canon Characters, you can choose five words. For Original Characters, you will need to choose seven words. Keep the word count to 100-300 per choice.
  • Green

  • To Koh, green was once a foreign color, absent in the Underdark’s cold palette of slate. Or at least the various different shades of greens that didn’t come from the glowing fungi. It was the hue only read about in stories. Green is that of forests that danced in sunlight of the Surface sun. The first time she saw it, truly saw it, the moss beneath her bare feet, the trembling leaves overhead, it felt like breathing for the first time in that moonlit glade. Green is not just a color to her. It was the start of something new. Something fresh.
  • Friendly

  • To be friendly, for Koh, is not a tactic. It is an offering. A soft hand extended in a world that had taught her to be cold and suspicious. In the Underdark, friendliness was used as a mask for manipulation. Showing any compassion was seen as weakness. Those foolish enough to fall for it were easy targets. WHich she almost fell prey to once right after she lost Rhyle. For a while, she hardened her heart, trusting no one. But on the surface, she learned it could be genuine. That she could allow herself to be warm and inviting. After she joined the church of Eilistraee, she uses her friendliness to rebuild burnt bridges her kin have made. To be the perfect example of what her Sisters and Brothers could be.
  • Dance

  • To dance is a sacred act for a cleric of Eilistraee. She is the goddess of song and dance. Dancing is how Koh communes with her Dark Maiden. Every night she dances as a form of prayer, regailing her goddess with the day’s events in song. Often, you will find Koh dancing barefoot under the moon in a nice wooded grove. Not only is it important to her on a spiritual level, but as a form of self expression. In the Underdark, she had to hide much of herself in self preservation. Things like music and dance, the arts, her culture does not have. Also dance is a core principle of Eilistraee’s teaching to spread joy to the other races. So she might drag others to dance with her.
  • Pride

  • Pride is one drow trait she heiritied from the Underdark. Though her pride was gentler, rooted in survival, in choice. She had chosen compassion in a world that worshipped cruelty. Pride is the soft lift of her chin when she sings Eilistraee’s hymns in a land that once feared her kind. That pride that made her tattoo her face to show her devotion to the Dark Maiden knowing it would forever brand her as a traitor to her kind. It is the steady strength in her spine as she faced Surface prejudice with patience. Her pride is knowing who she is, not in spite of her past, but because of how fiercely she rose from it.
  • Sin

  • As much as she tries to be a model drow, she is not without sin. In the Underdark, sin was obedience to the wrong god. In the pursuit to stay alive, Koh has done things that she is not proud of. Things she tries not to speak of, to keep hidden. Things that went against her beliefs. She carries those sins with her, to never let herself forget. They fuel her to do good, to undo some of the pain she helped put into the world. She believes in redemption because she has to. Because sin, to her, it is not the end. It is a place where healing has to begin.
  • Child

  • Koh never really had a chance to be a child. In the Underdark, childhood was brief and brutal. There were no lullabies sung by caring mothers, no play, only the sharpening of instinct and obedience to Lolth. Yet sometimes, the soft grip of Rhyle’s small hand in hers, she would hum a soft song when no one was listening. On the surface, she often watches children run barefoot through fields, laughing without fear, and something in her aches. Not out of envy, but with quiet yearning for what might have been, for what she wished she could have with Rhyle when they were little. But now, she can fight for the chance for future drow children, to give them a brighter tomorrow. She can help build a world where they might never have to learn what she had.
  • Flower

  • The first flower Koh ever touched was already wilting. Its petals were curled and its color was fading but it was beautiful all the same. Fragile, yes, but strong in its softness. In the Underdark, there were no flowers. Only fungus that fed on rot, though eerily beautiful in their own right. But also dangerous. On the Surface, Koh started to see herself in them. Not in the delicate kind that wilted at first frost, but in the wildflowers that grew through stone. The hardy ones that fought to survive in the hardest of places. A symbol of new growth, even in the harshest of places.

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Kolnatha Shavval
Canon: Forgotten Realms (DnD OC)
Age: 70

Background Information: Born to a lesser noble house who had long since fallen out of favor of the Spider Queen, life started out hard. Usually in drow traditions a twin birth was celebrated.

However, as she learned of the Dark Maiden's teachings something in her stirred. From there, the rest is history. For several years Koh called the monastery her home, learning about the Surface and her new faith. Finding a new purpose under her devotion to Eilistraee, Koh eventually sets off to wander the lands of Faerun in search of leads to find her brother, and to help those in need along the way.

Personality:
First and foremost, Kolnatha is an outlier of her people. When most people think of drow, they think of someone cruel and fierce. While Koh may be stubborn and strong willed like her Sisters, she never shared their bloodlust for power. Upon meeting new people, Koh is warm and welcoming. Unless you give her reason not to be civil. Such as running into other drow or duergar, she will meet them with caution until she knows about the individual. She knows not all of her kin share her gentle tendencies. This is mostly due in part to her having a younger twin brother. If her birth had been blessed with another sister, her fate may have been vastly different. Through her brother, she learned empathy and compassion, traits that the drow find weak. But in the love she held for her brother, Koh found strength. Rhyle is a huge source of motivation for Koh. And she carries the guilt of not being able to keep him safe with her.

Koh is also a woman of devout faith, following the teaching of Eilistraee, Lolth’s daughter. In her teachings Eilistraee wants to free her people for the evil grasp of her mother and return them the Land of Light. To have all the races free of discrimination and to live peacefully amongst one another. Koh holds this ideal close to her heart. She dreams of a better future for her Sisters and Brothers, free from Lolth’s web. So Koh hold herself to a high standard on how to act, to be an envoy of her people. Koh isn’t naïve to think that her alone will fix centuries of hurt caused on both sides, but it’s a start. Under her calm cool surface, Koh struggles with extreme self-doubt and imposter syndrome due to the extremely high expectations she feels she must hold herself to.

She has a strong sense of justice and will always help those in need. Even if she needs to break a few laws to do it. Cause sometimes rules are made by shitty people. Koh tries to find the good in everyone. Who is she to judge a book by its cover? To those fortunate to call her an alley, Koh is fiercely loyal to her friends.
Something about herself that she keeps close to the vest is about her past life living while under her Matron’s rule. What most people will see is this bright and friendly drow, however, she wasn’t always as nice as she wants people to see her as. While she didn’t share her Sisters’ beliefs, Koh had to do some pretty terrible things in order to stay alive. Drow like her tend not to live for very long. She was already pushing her luck with certain stances she took against her Matron. Koh doesn’t like to talk about all the innocent lives she was forced to take in the name of her House. The guilt of the pain she has put out into the world fuels her need to do good.

Abilities & Inventory:
Inventory:
* Heavy Chainmail with an ocean blue surcoat cover
* Sword and Shield (Her sword is very special to her since it is elaborately decorated in elvish, drow, script. All clerics that are followers of Eilistaee carry a blade blessed by her since it is her holy symbol. There is a whole special ceremony when receiving a new blade. If she has it with her, it would lose all his holy abilities and just be one really pretty sword.)
* Her traveling pack which has: A change of clothes out of her armor, healing potions, food, a music box, and her money.
Abilities:
Koh is a cleric, more specifically in the Life Domain, meaning she specializes in healing and defensive magic. She has a lot of different spells, so I’m going to summarize her abilities. Koh’s primary role is healing and support. She has multiple ways to heal her allies, either through words or touch. Some of her more potent healing can revive freshly deceased allies if their bodies aren’t too badly damaged. Her other role is to buff and defend her alleys, bestowing blessings on them to hit better or protecting them from status effects such as fear and charm. Other than her defensive magic, she does have powerful offensive abilities as well. Such as Guardian Spirits and Glyphs of Warding. As a drow, she also has a few special powers that her race has. Such as Dancing Lights (creates balls of dancing lights), Faerie Fire (prevents things from going invisible when caught in its light), and Darkness (cast a cloud of darkness that blinds people inside the zone until they leave). I can provide a detailed description for any spells that need to be clarified.
For a full list of spells, visit her Spell List.
Racial Traits:
* Superior Dark Vision: Can see in complete darkness like there is a light source up to 80 feet.
* Fey Ancestry: Due to drow’s Feywild ancestry, they are more resistant to magic that invades their mind, such as charm and sleep. Also Drow don’t sleep like normal people do. They go into a trance-like state to rest.
* Sunlight Sensitivity: Since living on the Surface for several years, this doesn’t affect her quite as much as it used to when she first left the Underdark. But her eyes can be sensitive to bright lights and being under direct beaming sunlight for too long does bother her eyes.


ARMADA SELECTION

For Koh, she would best suit going into the Corsairs. While she may be good aligned character, with her upbringing under Lolth she knows sometimes that one needs to break the laws in order to do so. Especially law made by tyrants. She prefers to follow her own moral code under her faith and desires her freedom to make that choice. There was been occasions where she has gone against local law enforcement to do what she perceived as right. The corruption in the Paladins would also sour her attitude towards the faction.

Questions: Not a question, but just for your information. Koh is taken from the Forgotten Realms campaign setting of DnD. If you need me to also provide the years in which she’s from, I can gladly provide more information. I know Forgotten Realms has a lot of lore. Also in terms of her powers, I just gave you all of them knowing she won’t have all of them or needs nerfing. I will adjust accordingly to what you all have to say.

The other thing is the magical tattoo. I do have a question about that. When they get it, it can take any design they want and where?

Physical Contact: Koh is fine with platonic physical touch. She might even initiate some herself with her party members.
Flirting: Flirt away, though her reactions may vary. She is not the slickest when it comes to the flirting department.
Kissing: Kissing is also okay. Though Koh isn't very cavalier with her love life and she would only kiss others that she has romantic feelings for.
Combat: Koh is always combat ready. While she may not be the damage dealer, she supports her party with her healing magic. Though she can be a bruiser and is not afraid to tank the front lines.
Mind-control/Magic: With Koh's condition with the mind-flayer tadpole, mindreading might be an accidental thing. If you go poking around in her head, she will know and depending on who you are, might not be welcomed.

Companion Notes


+ Companion Notes
Astarion: At first was a bit too trusting of him and he nearly drained her of blood. Still, treats him with kindness and now sees through his BS. Wants to help him.
Gale: Deeply admires his magical knowledge. Could listen to him talk forever. Sympathizes his plight with Mystra. Not afraid to tell Mytra where to shove it.
Lae'zel: While they do not see eye to eye on many things, Koh respects Lae'zel strength and fighting spirit. Bonds with her as another race that is seen as 'evil'. Wants her people to be free. Also not afraid to tell where the Undying Queen to shovel it.
Shadowheart: Koh feels deep sympathy for Shadowheart, being a cleric herself. Wants to convert her to a better way cause of her experiences with Lolth. Tells Shar where to stick it. Are we sensing a theme here?
Wyll: Good bean, not at all what she expected a warlock to be. She admires his strong sense of justice and trying to do what is right. She wants to help Wyll gain his freedom.
Halsin: Who doesn't like soft bear druid? Koh finds his personality in comparison to his size amusing. Though she doesn't have a green thumb, she appreciates his devotion to the natural order.
Karlach: One of the companions Koh was closest to. A great friend. Gives her super bad bi-sexual panic.
Jaheira: Tough old bird. Though she would never dare to voice the half-elf's age in front of her. Truly an honor and pleasure to have a hero such as herself fighting along side her.
Minsc: Him ad his hamster Boo are... interesting. She really has nothing to say on the matter.
Minthara: Never got a chance to hangout with her. Fights and kills her. If there was a way, she would have tried to turn her away from Lolth and the Absolute.

Deity: Eilistraee
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Languages: Common, Elvish (Deep Drow)

Canon: Baldur's Gate 3
Canon Point: Act 1 - Act 3
+ Personal Details
Eyes: At first glance, Kolnatha's eyes appear to be a pale dusty blue. However, those with a keen sense may notice that the drow's right eye has a slight different hue. Bordering her pupil, there is a hint of a golden ring encircling it. Does this have any significate?
Hair: As expected of a drow, Koh shares the silvery white hair that marks her kin. With her nomadic life style, she has little time to fuss with styling her hair. Commonly, it is pulled back into a ponytail with a simple braid that runs along the left side of her head. Koh tries her best to keep her hair out of the way but there are always strands of hair that refuse to play nice with the rest and the dangle around her face. On the rare occasion that her hair is not tied back, it hangs to around mid back at its natural length. She is trying to grow it out in respect to her Dark Maiden.
Body Type: From the moment she could walk, Koh was trained by the blade. Despite it being many years since she has fought hand-the-hand, the fundation of her teachings remain. While she may look slight in frame, she is deceptively strong. Most of her strength comes for her legs and core.
Distinguishing Features: Most obvious and notable when first seeing Koh are the elegant deep blue tattoo she wears proudly on her face. Some of the Lolth sworn drow bare the white marks as a sign of their devotion to the Spider Queen. Koh, in her defiance, has done the same but for her new goddess, Eilistraee.

+ History
Underdark
Born to a lesser noble house who had long since fallen out of favor of the Spider Queen, life started out hard. Usually in drow traditions a twin birth was celebrated. Was a sign of fertility and power for the Mother Matron. A good omen her house sorely needed. However, no feast was held that night. Once Kolnatha entered the world, her younger brother, Rhyle, followed shortly after. A male. Inferior blood. Blood which she shared with him. It would forever be a dark mark that Koh would carry for the rest of her life. Despite all judgmental stares and foul rumors that circulated about her, Kolnatha was very close to her brother as they grew up. She's heard all the stories about how males paled in comparison to their female counterparts. It was not a sentiment she shared. Rhyle and her were one, equal. Birthed from the same womb. They were connected, a bond so deep that only other twins could understand.

From the moment either of them could walk, they were trained by the blade. Life as a drow living in the Underdark was cruel by most standards of the land above. Most kids her age all they had to worry about were scraped knees and runny noses. Koh went to bed with bruised all over her body and callused hands. One had to learn how to fight and fend for yourself or it could mean death down in the dark. Not just from the vile creatures that called this place their home, but from other rival drow as well. This constant dance for power was one Koh had to learn, though she lacked the tenacity typical of her kin. There had always been a tenderness to her, in the way she spoke and how she held herself. Love and compassion are seen as weakness amongst her people and had no place in the pursuit of ambitions. Again, they blamed the impurity of her birth for these flaws. Her brother was a bad influence on her. No matter how they tried to separate them, they would always find each other, drawn like a magnet. Rhyle was her world, the one thing that kept her grounded. No matter what happened, they would have each other to lean on. That was until they both started to show tendency to wield magic. Her talent wasn't fully nurtured but Rhyle had a gift. It had caught the attention of another matron and a deal was struck.

Awoken one night drenched in sweat, Koh felt something was wrong. Running to where her brother was kept, she found the room empty. He had been sold to an unnamed matron to an unknown place beyond her reach. It was like a part of her soul was torn from her that night. Their separation was all a part of her matron's devious plan to slice out Kolnatha's perceived weakness as well as gaining more politician power in the sale. Though her plan only half worked. Since the day her brother was taken from her, Koh's resolve hardened. They would not break her. Not with her brother out there lost somewhere. After countless years of trying to reforge her into the blade they wanted to smith, it become clear that no matter how much they hammer her, she was unyielding. So, her Mother Matron devised a plan. To send Koh out on a solo mission in which the stakes were high. A suicide mission. If she refused, her House would kill her or even worse… turn her into a drider. Either way, Koh’s hands were tied. Choosing to flee the Underdark was the toughest decision she had to make. With all its danger, it was her home. And the thought of leaving her brother tore her heart to shreds.

Life on the Surface✧ Facing the perils of the Underdark alone took every once of her strength and cunning to survive. By the time she clawed her way out of the dark, it was nightfall on the land above. Koh found herself in a dense wooded forest and she thought she heard…. Singing? As a child she had been told horror stories about never following songs at night. But exhausted, if it meant finding help, she would take that risk. Stumbling through the brush Koh found herself in a moonlit glad where the most beautiful drow maiden she had ever seen was dancing naked in the pale light. It was the goddess Eilistraee and from there, she took the lost drow in. For the next few years, Koh would learn to adjust to life on the surface living that the temple. Surrounded by others like her, a new purpose blossomed within her. Before living under the cruel will of the Spider Queen, Koh would not have been one of faith. However, as she learned of the Dark Maiden's teachings something in her stirred. From there, the rest is history. For several years Koh called the monastery her home, learning about the Surface and her new faith. Finding a new purpose under her devotion to Eilistraee, Koh eventually sets off to wander the lands of Faerun in search of leads to find her brother, and to help those in need along the way. Which then leads us to her getting kidnapped by the nautiloid, thrusting her into the events of Baldur’s Gate 3.
