Overview[edit | edit source]
Background[edit | edit source]
Gale conjured Tara when he was ten years old, after his parents refused to give him a kitten. Tara and Gale's mom eventually became friends, with Tara visiting her after Gale left home.

Tara first appears upon the first Long Rest of the game if Gale is chosen as origin. She will note Gale's somewhat ill appearance, and express concern. She will also provide Gale with a magic item, the 
Ring of Evasion, that he can consume when he awakes, to prevent the Netherese Orb from detonating. She will remain within the Campsite.
Act Three[edit | edit source]
Tara appears later - regardless of the player character - on the roof of the Open Hand Temple in Rivington. She is involved in the quest 
, and has unique dialogue when Gale is in the party. You can also get 
Ring of Blink here, whether you have Gale in your party or not.

If Gale reforged the Crown of Karsus and ascended to godhood, she will express disappointment in her friend's transformation and failure to learn from his past mistakes. If the player character transformed into an illithid to fight the Netherbrain, then Tara will remark that they must've sacrificed quite a bit to save Faerun.
