Kaliel

'''The young elf Kaliel Lefey is one of the maidens of Cloakwood's Circle of Dreams, the shamanic druid protectors of Baldur's Gate. She is next in line to become the high priestess of Cloakwood Grove following her mother, the Archdruid Andraste Lefey. Half a year ago, Kaliel set out on a pilgrimage to prepare for her coming responsibilities, and to gain a deeper communion with the primal spirits of nature. '''

'''In her seclusion and meditation, Kaliel sensed an unnatural shift in the the flow of the most fundamental forces of nature - life and death. Hoping to further investigate this aberration and its ramifications for Cloakwood Grove, she returned home to seek the guidance of her fellow druids. In Cloakwood, she found her mother gravely ill. Frail and withered, Andraste has lately taken to hiding her rotting, sore-ravaged face behind a ceremonial mask. '''

'''Baldur's Gate's military and police force, the Flaming Fist, and their expansionist leader Duke Ulder Ravenguard have taken advantage of Andraste's illness and begun establishing guard outposts in the northern part of the Cloakwood. At her mother's behest, Kaliel and her companions have gone to Chult to find and destroy the necromantic artifact behind the death curse.'''
