![[NathalyKormallisPathfinder-v3.webp]] ![[Nathaly Alternative.webp]] # Nathaly Kormallis _Human Soulmonger | [[House Kormallis]] | [[Old Skull Tor]]_ ## Summary Fallen noble turned unwitting vessel, imprisoned within her own mind while [[Tashara]] controls her body. Childhood friend of [[Petra]] who gained [[Soulmonger]] abilities after dying and being resurrected during their confrontation. She helped the heroes secure the [[Mythallar]] and kill [[Valindra Shadowmantle]] at the [[Dread Ring]] before [[Tashara]] teleported them away. %% ## Now Watches helplessly as [[Tashara]] uses their shared body for rituals at [[Old Skull Tor]] — including activating an obsidian mirror that revealed [[Orcus|Tenebrous]] demanding freedom. The [[Soulmonger]] bond with [[Petra]] is the party's way to reach her. ## Appearance Ice-blue eyes and dyed blood-red hair, dark shadows beneath her eyes. Her features shift subtly as [[Tashara]]'s control rises and falls. ## Personality Desperate, resilient, haunted by guilt but increasingly determined. Her time in the [[Nightmare Realm]] alongside [[Petra]] gave her the strength to resist [[Tashara]]. When she surfaces, she speaks in hurried, urgent whispers and touches her temples fighting for control. ## Quote _"Freedom isn't just physical — it's the ability to live with the consequences of your own choices, not someone else's."_ ## Connections **[[Petra]]** — childhood friend and [[Soulmonger]] bond; her lifeline to the outside. **[[Tashara]]** — the spirit possessing her body. **[[Rosalyn Kormallis]]** — sister she accidentally killed; her guilt is the lever Tashara used. **[[Lucian Margaster]]** — cruel betrothed she fled to escape an arranged marriage. **[[Valindra Shadowmantle]]** — served under her, then helped kill her. ## Background **The Kormallis Heir:** Raised in [[House Kormallis]], where affection was currency and weakness invited punishment. Her friendship with [[Petra]] was a rare real connection, and its loss cut deep when her father's wounded pride poisoned relations between the houses. **The Transformation:** A childhood confrontation with [[Petra]] left Nathaly briefly dead after a fall. Their touch during the struggle transferred [[Petra]]'s [[Soulmonger]] abilities. Resurrected, she returned able to hear the dead and grew increasingly isolated as the power surfaced. **Tashara's Vessel:** When she found [[Tashara]]'s spellbook, the necromancer recognized an ideal vessel — a [[Soulmonger]] desperate enough not to question. The accidental death of [[Rosalyn Kormallis|Rosalyn]] broke her, and she surrendered more control to Tashara for the promise of resurrecting her sister. **The Red Wizards:** Fleeing marriage to [[Lucian Margaster]], she went nomadic and absorbed souls under Tashara's guidance. In [[Neverwinter]] she killed [[Red Wizards|Red Wizard]] [[Morvvanna Darkweave]], learned of Lucian's tie to [[Valindra Shadowmantle]], and — urged by Tashara — approached Valindra offering her abilities. **Valindra's Service:** Valindra tested her by ordering [[Darius Duskdancer]]'s assassination. When Nathaly hesitated, [[Tashara]] took full control, killed [[Darius Duskdancer|Darius]], and absorbed his soul. She also secured the [[Tome of Unlife]] from the banshee [[Deneth Starfeon]] in [[Conyberry]]. %%
