Template:Up to date

Template:CompanionTab Lae'zel of crèche K'liir is an Origin character and a recruitable Companion with the Soldier background. She is a Githyanki and a Fighter and can be romanced by characters of any gender.

A ferocious warrior zealously devoted to the Lich Queen, she she will do whatever is necessary to end the terror of the Illithid and prove herself to her queen. She can be first found on the Nautiloid during the prologue where she serves as a temporary companion, and properly recruited at the start of Act 1.

Overview

Background

A fierce warrior from crèche K'liir, Lae'zel is a follower of Vlaakith, the Lich Queen of the githyanki. Sworn to obey her queen and serve as a blade against the Illithid, she was captured on her quest to present a Mind Flayer head to her queen. Now, tadpoled and with few options at hand, she must find a way to rid herself of the parasite and finally prove herself as a worthy warrior to Undying Queen. How she does it, and whether or not she remains loyal to Vlaakith, is something she can decide throughout the game.

Starting class

Lae'zel starts as a Fighter, with a focus on two-handed weapons as is githyanki tradition. Upon reaching level 3, she will default to the Battle Master subclass, allowing her to control the battlefield and subdue foes with great martial skills.

Special features

Lae'zel does not have any special features. Being the only githyanki companion, she can, however, make the most out of all the githyanki exclusive passives and abilities from their racial equipment found throughout the game.

Personal quest

Lae'zel's personal quest is The Githyanki Warrior, spanning all acts of the game. In it, she will explore the strong feelings of duty for her people and her zealous devotion to her queen, and begin questioning where her loyalties should truly lie.

Lae'zel's companion quest ties into two further, separate quests. In Free Lae'zel, the party finds her trapped in a cage by a pair of tieflings, and must decide how to proceed. During Free Orpheus, Lae'zel can decide the fate of her people: free Orpheus and kill him, remaining in servitude of Vlaakith or break his chains and lead the fight against the Lich Queen for freedom.

Recruitment

Lae'zel can be recruited as a temporary companion during the Prologue on the Nautiloid by agreeing to fight with her when encountered. She can then become a permanent companion during Act One.

Prologue

Lae'zel is first encountered on the nautiloid during the prologue. While escaping from the nautiloid, she joins the party as a temporary companion. She leaves the party after successfully escaping.

Act One

Lae'zel is encountered again a second time in the Wilderness near the Roadside Cliffs at X: 242 Y: 370. She has been captured in a wooden cage by two tieflings, Damays and Nymessa. If the player is able to free her, she can be invited to join the party.
If she dies aboard the Nautiloid, her body will be found at the beach starting area. She can be brought back to life and recruited.
If players progress further to the Emerald Grove and trigger the attack scene at the gates, she will break out of her cage and disappear, killing Damays and Nymessa if they are still alive. She can then be found later on and be recruitable again.
After breaking out of the cage, she has been refused from joining up with the party until this point, she will show up when the party encounters the githyanki near the Mountain Pass. If she doesn't turn hostile during the encounter she can be recruited at the end of the battle. If she dies during it as an ally or neutral, she can be resurrected and still join.
If players miss all the recruitment opportunities above, or refuse her, she can be found again one final time near the first waypoint in the Rosymorn Monastery Trail where the crèche is located for a final recruitment opportunity.

Should the party proceed inside the crèche without having recruited Lae'zel, she will be disappear from the mountain pass. When players proceed to the Shadow-Cursed Lands, they will find her as an Undead there, having went the wrong way when trying to find the crèche.

Approval

Lae'zel prefers direct approaches and is focused on quickly finding a solution to the tadpole infection, without wasting any time. She approves of direct solutions to problems, as well as not getting involved in petty issues unnecessarily. Displaying feats of martial skill and being resolute also sit well with her.

Lae'zel dislikes acts of mercy and compassion, showing submission, respect or diplomacy when force is also an option. She doesn't agree with helping others for the sake of benevolence, despises showing weakness and will vehemently disapprove of any form of neutral or positive interaction with Illithid of any sort.

Romance

Lae'zel can be romanced by characters of any gender. At first only about sex, the relationship will eventually turn more serious as Lae'zel starts seeing them first as an equal, then as a partner.
