Introduction

With tensions rising between Baldur's Gate and Amn, and rumors of unnatural disasters plaguing Amnish territory on the Sword Coast, the Cowled Wizards of Amn have become involved in the looming conflict. Dedicated to controlling the use of magic in Amn and destroying magical threats to that nation, on the Sword Coast they act in support of the Amnish army. And with the rumors of demons in the mines of Nashkel, one young Cowled Wizard has taken it upon herself to learn the truth of the matter. Adventurers willing to work with a Cowled Wizard will find a willing ally in their Nashkel investigations and beyond.

The Valerie NPC mod contains a friendship for a PC of any race and gender with flirt opportunities for both genders that can be considered PG material.

Biography

Valerie is quiet when asked about her past, finding her feelings about it mixed. She was cast out of her family as a child when she displayed signs of magical talent, a deeply suspicious sign in Amn with its cultural distrust of magic. She was found and taken in by the Cowled Wizards, the nation's arcane police, who taught her how to use and control her abilities. Upon completing her apprenticeship, she was posted to Nashkel with the Amnish army where you met her.

Information

Valerie is a sorceress and member of the Cowled Wizards of Amn, Amn's organization dedicated to protecting Amn from magical threats and controlling the use of magic within the country. Fresh from her apprenticeship, Valerie has been sent to Nashkel in response to rumors of demons plaguing the mines, with orders to confirm or deny these rumors. With the local army forces paralyzed, however, Valerie is willing to work with adventurers to investigate the mines and the greater crisis looming over the region. Empathic, intellectual, and a devout follower of Torm, the god of duty and loyalty, Valerie is a far cry from the stereotypical sorcerer and will happily befriend a native of the Sword Coast who isn't blatantly evil. You can find Valerie in the middle of Nashkel.
