Arnell Hallowleaf is a high elven Selûne Selûnite and father of Shadowheart Shadowheart. He can potentially become a Camp Follower.

History[edit | edit source]

Arnell Hallowleaf is a lycanthrope, but through Selûne's blessings, learned to control the transformation. According to him, it was a "toss of the coin" to determine if Shadowheart inherited the curse - which she did not.

Arnell and his wife, Emmeline Hallowleaf Emmeline Hallowleaf, raised Shadowheart Shadowheart, originally known as Jenevelle Hallowleaf, in a Selûnite household in the forests outside Baldur's Gate.[1] As a child, Jenevelle undertook a Selûnite coming-of-age ritual in which she was left alone in the woods and trusted to use Selûne's guidance to return to her family. However, the villagers discovered a Sharran spy near the village, and learned that his accomplices sought to abduct Jenevelle. Arnell took on his wolf form to quickly traverse the woods to find Jenevelle, but she had not known about his curse, and panicked at the sight of the wolf, allowing enough time for the Sharrans to find and abduct both of them, as well as Emmeline.

Arnell and Emmeline were kept in the Cloister of Sombre Embrace for about 40 years, while the Sharrans made Shadowheart "practice" their techniques, such as trickery, interrogation, and torture, on her parents.

Involvement[edit | edit source]

Arnell and Emmeline can be found in the Cloister of Sombre Embrace as part of Shadowheart's personal quest, Daughter of Darkness. Shadowheart is forced to make the choice of either letting them die and freeing herself of her incurable wound, or freeing them and having to live with the wound her entire life. Both Arnell and Emmeline urge Shadowheart to let them die and free herself, but the player character can persuade Shadowheart to free them through a DC 20 Religion, or Persuasion check.

If Arnell and Emmeline are freed, they become camp followers and reveal information about themselves and Shadowheart's past. Arnell is more talkative than Emmeline, as Emmeline is a human with a natural lifespan much shorter than Arnell's, and her memory is fading with age.

  1. Multiple things point to Shadowheart having grown in Moonhaven, the former name for the now ruined Blighted Village, such as her reaction when picking up the Old Schoolbook or her scene at the Selûnite statue behind the mill. However, it's difficult to confirm as different sources in-game indicate that the village was destroyed over a hundred years ago by Ketheric Thorm Ketheric Thorm's dark justiciar army, and Shadowheart is estimated to be roughly fifty years old. Conflicting timelines regarding the village and its destruction don't line up, thus, it's possible that the intent during development was that she and her family had indeed lived in Moonhaven, but that the inconsistencies were never properly fixed for release.
