Niram

Zealot Niram is a drow Zealot of the Absolute in Act Two. He is stationed on the east side of the Moonrise Towers throne room.

Involvement

Moonrise Towers

Niram is first encountered in the Moonrise Towers throne room, standing guard over the trial presided by Ketheric Thorm. During the trial, Drenn shoves Niram aside, steals his Halberd and throws it at Ketheric, impaling him and knocking him against the throne. Once the trial ends, Niram moves to stand guard on the eastern side of the throne room.

Defending Moonrise Towers

If the Nightsong is freed and the Harpers launch their assault on Moonrise Towers, Niram is killed during the subsequent battle. His corpse can be found at the bottom of the stairs of the main door entering Moonrise, at X: -158 Y: -130.

Notes

• Niram is one of two Zealots of the Absolute (the other one being Iogar) wearing half-plate armour similar to the Half Plate Armour +2 underneath their absolutist coils.
  • This is purely a visual distinction, as Niram uses and drops Plate Armour for gameplay.
