Biography
History
Jaheira was born to a noble family in Tethyr, who supported King Alemander IV during the Ten Black Days of Eleint on the eve of the Tethyrian Interregnum, and was orphaned after her parents were killed by a mob of angry peasants. Jaheira was saved by one of the serving girls within their castle and the two fled into the Forest of Tethir, where they met an enclave of druids. She joined their community and became a druid herself, taking on the worship of the Oak Father, Silvanus.
At some point she met a man, Dermin Courtierdale, who brought her into the semi-secret society of the Harpers and acted as her mentor in her education of their teachings. While in their service, Jaheira met and fell in love with the fighter Khalid, a fellow half-elf from the Lands of Intrigue. The two married and, in spite of their differences, always cared deeply for each other. During her time with the secret society, Jaheira and her associates exposed Baron Ployer of Calimshan as a slave breeder, destroying his reputation within the realm.
In 1368 DR, Jaheira and Khalid were sent on behalf of the Harpers to investigate the iron crisis and the Nashkel mines. They stayed at the Friendly Arm Inn and awaited the arrival of their friend and fellow Harper Gorion, sleeping in turns so as not to miss him. Gorion had heard news that his adopted child was in fact one of the Bhaalspawn and lost his life to the malevolent warrior Sarevok while smuggling his ward out of Candlekeep in the dead of night. Gorion's ward escaped and, with the help of their foster sibling Imoen, met up with Jaheira and Khalid. The couple took it as their responsibility to watch after the two, having been appointed as their guardian in event of Gorion's death.
The group of four traveled traveled together for a time and uncovered the secrets of the Iron Throne, as they attempted to manipulate the iron trade of the Sword Coast and plunge the region into a war between Baldur's Gate and Amn. Their adventures culminated in a battle in the Temple of Bhaal within the Undercity of Baldur's Gate, and saw the defeat of Sarevok and his associates.
After the defeat of Sarevok, Jaheira and Khalid traveled to the Boareskyr Bridge, where they were separated at Bridgefort by the crusading forces of Caelar Argent. It was believed she reunited with the young Bhaalspawn, whom she had previously sworn to protect and after traveling through the Forest of Wyrms, was joined by her beloved husband. They continued on battle the fervent aasimar's army at Dragonspear Castle and ventured into Avernus within the Nine Hells.
A year after their dual victories in the Sword Coast, in 1369 DR, Jaheira, Khalid, Imoen, Gorion's Ward were imprisoned beneath the city of Athkatla, along with the Hathran Dynaheir, the Rashemi berserker Minsc and the miniature giant space hamster Boo. One of their captors, the fallen-from-grace elven mage Jon Irenicus, killed Khalid and forced the young Imoen to watch as he died. Eventually Imoen's foster sibling was freed and the remaining members, save for Dynaheir, joined forces with one another. While they escaped Irenicus' dungeon, they discovered Khalid's mutilated corpse and Jaheira wailed in horror.
The group emerged from the subterranean prison and arrived in the middle of Waukeen's Promenade, to find Irenicus battling a handful of Shadow Thieves. After a few brief words Imoen cast magic missile at the powerful spellcaster, just before he Cowled Wizards of Athkatla arrived. They apprehended Irenicus and Imoen for the crime of unlicensed magic use within the city and took the pair to Spellhold on the island of Brynnlaw. Jaheira, her Bhaalspawn friend and their fellow companions traveled through Athkatla and the surrounding country to raise the 20,000 gp, required by the Shadow Thief Gaelan Bayle, to secure Imoen's release.
Harpers in Athkatla
It was believed the group met and recruited other allies in their quest, and explored dangerous locations such as the Temple of Amaunator in the Umar Hills, the troll-infested Arnise Hold and even the lair of the red dragon Firkraag. They had supposedly rescued a man, Renfeld, who had been poisoned and attacked by thugs, and brought him to a fellow Harper in Amn, Rylock. After further aiding the Athkatlan group of Harpers, led by Berinvar, by defeating some novice necromancers, who were in fact agents of the Zhentarim, Jaheira and her friends were somewhat manipulated in delivering a polymorphed assassin to the doorstep of the necromancers' mentor Xzar, under the guise that it was his old friend Montaron, who had been transformed and held as punishment.
Jaheira was abruptly summoned by the Amnian branch of the Harpers for a consultation by an ally of Berinvar, Meronia. She returned to her companions shortly thereafter and asked them to accompany her to the Galvarey estate, the Harper Hold of Athkatla. This summons was a ruse by the ambitious Harper Galvarey, who planned to prevent the chaos that might be caused by Jaheira's Bhaalspawn friend, by means of an imprisonment spell. She defended her ally to the death, and her group was forced to kill Galvarey and his fellow misguided Harpers.
Some time after her encounter with Galvarey, Jaheira and her band were attacked by the Harper Reviane, who operated under the authority of Berinvar. A few days later the group approached by her friend and former mentor, Dermin. After a brief reunion, he informed her that he had been sent to kill or otherwise apprehend her for the death of Galvarey at the hands of her party. While he claimed justice must be taken for her deeds, Jaheira maintained she was in the right and expressed her disgust at the notion the group she had long served would seek revenge. Jaheira renounced her standing within the Harpers organization. Dermin walked away without violence, but left her with a warning her life would not have peace.
Dermin approached Jaheira and her friends once more and warned the young druid she had been labeled a traitor and murderer by the Harpers. He offered her a deal to submit herself to the organization, lest she be killed on sight by their agents. Jaheira kept herself collected and stalwart in response to this startling news, thought upon her old friend's offer and in the dead of night and slipped away from her party en route to the Galvarey Estate.
Jaheira returned to Galvarey's estate, after being summoned by Dermin, and found it to be nearly abandoned, absent of any members of the Harpers, at least those of official standing. The spectral harpists that usually guarded the building were gone and a few mercenaries remained in there place. Her companions followed shortly after and she apprised them of her discovery. Although she was left with more questions than answers, unsure of Dermin's true allegiance, she came to the conclusion Galvarey, Berinvar and their band of Harpers had been acting out of alignment with the greater organization to their own benefit.
When Jaheira and her companions passed through the Sea Bounty's Tavern in the City of Coins, Jaheira was abruptly stopped the then-destitute noble, Baron Ployer, who she had previously helped bring to justice. He verbally accosted her within the bar, angering her with his inquiries about her deceased husband Khalid. After some words, Ployer's spellcasting allies cursed her before teleporting away. While Jaheira's health rapidly deteriorated, she and her companions searched the city for clues to cure her affliction. After finding some dead ends, included a similarly-cursed and deceased Harper named Belgrade, they eventually tracked down the derelict home where the former baron was staying. After killing the former slaver, and retrieving the lock of hair he had taken from Jaheira, the effects of her curse began to subside.
On one final occasion, when Jaheira and her fellow travelers left the city, Dermin Courtierdale approached his former pupil. He revealed himself as an accomplice to Galvarey's machinations, showing his complicity in all the deceit and deaths at the hands of his Harpers, and ambushed her along with his rogue agents. Wracked with guilt, but ultimately definat, Jaheira defended herself; she a
