If the party returns to the mysterious rusalki, makes sure to have 13 inventory spaces free, and returns the Heart to her, she thanks them on behalf of herself and her kin, giving them travel advice, Rations, and a mysterious shell - which, she says, has value they might never be able to imagine.Īn old woman in Darkmoor had lost her family to the rusalki. To do so, they must defeat both the spellcaster and the four rusalki he controls. While traveling through the Green Heart, the party may encounter a mysteriously non-hostile rusalki who asks them to retrieve Eliaem's Heart from a moredhel spellcaster who is using it to control other rusalki. Eortis confirms this by healing them as they leave to begin the quest.Īfter defeating the fifteen rusalki lurking on the banks between Silden and Sloop, the party can return to Beyla in any time of sickness or injury and be completely healed. Beyla tells them of complaints that the rusalki lingering near local rivers "have become disturbed" laying them all to rest might win Eortis's favor. When the party first visits Silden, they must travel to the Temple of Eortis and petition Beyla, the high priestess of Eortis, for a chance to perform a duty of obeisance in exchange for healing.

When faced before battle, they appear ashen-faced and have staring, lifeless eyes. Their sprites are similar to those of Shades, but blue instead of gray. Usually they take the form of a young girl, with tendrils of seaweed dangling from their arms. As spirits, the Rusalki have an ethereal presence and appear semi-transparent.
