Susdera

Susdera is a necromancer of the Cult of Myrkul. She is found atop Moonrise Towers, and will assist Ketheric Thorm in battle against the party.

Involvement

If the party enters the rooftop of Moonrise towers before completing Find Ketheric Thorm's Relic, Susdera will stop and admonish them to turn back. Answering "I go where I wish" will cause her and all eight Necromites to turn hostile. Ketheric Thorm will not become hostile unless the party gets too close to him.

If the party frees or kills the Nightsong before entering the rooftop, a cutscene with Ketheric will play out. Susdera will be one of Ketheric's allies in battle against the party.

Unlike the Zealots, Adepts, and other members of the Cult of the Absolute, it appears Susdera and other Mistresses of Souls are fully aware of what the Absolute is and the religious hoax they're perpetrating. This greater understanding (and accompanying disdain) is shared by 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.
