    Synopsis:

    Default Dialogue - the conversation you can have with Minthara at any thime when she's a member of your party. You can ask her about herself, or events that you've experienced together during your adventures. Her responses to you may differ based on some of the choices you make after she joins. Provided you don't betray her for another, she will continue to stand by you, revelling in the violence that follows.

            : I often think of mortality as a curse. In time, all that I am and all that I have known and learned will be lost. In time, our cities will be dust.

              : Karlach does not seem to have such anxieties. Perhaps because she cannot afford to.

                : She exists in the moment, and she will burn out and be gone in a moment. There is something very beautiful about that.

            : It is a shame that she devotes all of her talents and experience to the futile cause of the Harpers.

              : Their devotion to preserving 'balance' is pathetic.
              • 119. Player: The world requires balance or it would fall into chaos and disorder.

                  Nightwarden Minthara
                  : It is precisely because they are perceived as good that they are so dangerous. Their intentions do more harm to the world than any warmonger could.
