Radija
Involvement
Radija can be encountered outside the ornate door that leads to the rooftop. If Ketheric Thorm is already up there, the party can ask her for an audience with him, which she invariably refuses.
She provides a somewhat early hint that the cult of the Absolute goes well beyond mind flayer infections, as her dialogue will reveal that despite her seemingly high status within its ranks, she bears no tadpole of her own and even looks down on the player character for being a "True Soul". This mentality is somewhat reflected among the other high-ranking Myrkulite necromancers serving General Thorm, with Kressa Bonedaughter bemoaning the weak servility of the infected she's presented with, and Balthazar using the player character's worm-infested status as an expletive.
It seems that Radija knows the truth behind the tadpoles. Unlike the Zealots, Adepts, and other members of the Cult of the Absolute, the Mistress of Souls seems to be fully aware of what the Absolute is and the religious hoax they're doing.[2]

Notable loot
- ↑ Despite being named as a necromancer at several points, instead the Mistresses of Souls seem to be Evocation Wizards.
- ↑ When talking to Radija, she looks down upon the party for being a True Soul, and if trying to link with her own parasite, it is revealed that she doesn't have one and she mocks the party for that. And Kressa Bonedaughter also mocks the party for that.
