Synopsis:

Shadowheart appears at the player's campsite one night after they missed all other opportunites to recruit her in their party. She seems unhinged, paranoid - convinced that we intend to steal something important that she possesses. We may learn that the item she refers to is the mysterious cube - a sentient gith artefact that's manipulating her into appearing to us and forcing a confrontation. The cube contains the long-imprisoned spirit of a gith general, who wants to fall into our party's hands in an effort to eventually break free. He's forcing Shadowheart to either join the party or get killed by the party - either way, the cube will be where it wants to be.
