Revision as of 21:27, 2 December 2024

Being a Drow and follower of the Absolute, Minthara has a highly hostile and cruel attitude towards other beings, considering pretty much everyone as inferior. She has a special disdain for those who do not share her beliefs, and as a drow noble, she holds drow characters in high regard.

The actions and choices listed on this page will raise or lower Minthara's Approval.

For more information about the approval system, see Approval.

Greetings

Currently, regardless of their approval rating or relationship status, Minthara greets the player with: [Needs Verification]

  • "You wish to consult me?"

If spoken to by someone other than the player character:

  • "I do not have time for idle chatter."

Approval

The following story and dialogue choices will cause Minthara to gain approval.
