![[KethraFinal.webp]] # Kethra Nightshade _Half-Elf Warlock | [[Red Daggers]] | [[Shadowtop Cathedral]]_ ## Summary Conflicted warlock who made a desperate pact with [[Glasya]] to escape [[Neverwinter]]'s streets. Rose through the [[Gilded Gallows]] before fleeing with the [[Red Daggers]]. Survived [[Vulkazar]]'s devastating attack on [[Shadowtop Cathedral]] but was separated from [[Gunther Boomfizzle]] during the chaos. %% ## Now Travels with the party as one of the [[Red Daggers]], still bound to [[Glasya]] through her infernal pact. ## Appearance Striking half-elf with long black hair and captivating emerald eyes that flash with intelligence and barely-contained frustration. Even in exile she maintains practiced elegance — a thin gold chain, light-catching rings, subtle embroidered details. ## Personality Charming and opportunistic, internally conflicted between ambition and newfound moral uncertainty. Time at the Cathedral, away from city temptations, has forced her to confront the consequences of her choices. Still drawn to power and luxury, but questioning whether the cost is worth it. Speaks in a smooth, alluring voice, adopting different accents to suit her needs. ## Quote _"Darling, even in exile, one must maintain... standards. But perhaps it's time to redefine what those standards are."_ ## Connections **[[Gunther Boomfizzle]]** — separated from him during [[Vulkazar]]'s attack; grieves his disappearance. **[[Astra]]** — lashed out at her in grief. **[[Glasya]]** — fiend patron. ## Background **The Betrayal Revealed:** When [[Pyranikus Goldcrest]]'s betrayal of [[Nira Mistwood]] came to light, her expression hardened with cold disgust. ## Stats **Base:** Warlock of the Fiend, with [[Glasya]] as patron. %%
