Jaethal

Jaethal is a character in Pathfinder: Kingmaker.

Biography
A neutral evil undead elven Inquisitor of Urgathoa. Jaethal was originally a judge in Kyonin, but has now been exiled after her part in the ritual murder of several of her family members as offerings to Urgathoa for new pleasures in her dull nearly immortal life. After leaving her homeland Jaethal was attacked and killed by an unknown assailant on the road. Some time after her death, she woke as an undead servant of Urgathoa with a scythe at her side. Since then, however, her dark goddess has been silent, the goddess's will unknown.

Jaethal has a living daughter who remains in Kyonin named Nortellara. Nortellara bears a striking physical similarity to her mother, and Jaethal describes her daughter as the one person who she would hesitate to kill to serve her own interests- not because of any sentimental attachment to the young woman, but because she believes it would be a waste of the work she put into shaping Nortellara. Her relationship with Nortellara is complicated by her daughter's clear contempt for her.

Interactions
Not long after you obtain your barony Jaethal will want to talk to you about a merchant in town who is selling her old dagger. No matter the options you choose you will be prompted to go to the sycamore to find a dead animal. If you want to buy anything from the merchant you should do so before leaving as he will become unavailable after. He sells various elvish items. Once you find the boar you will be directed to an area by a river. Go there and you will have a battle with some elves. After the battle Jaethal will raise one of the elves making her undead. It is up to you if she lives or dies. You discover the merchant set you up. Going back to town you find he fled. You will catch up to him later after defeating the undead cylcopses. If you don't talk to Jaethal then the quest will time out and the story ends. Sometime after Varnhold vanishing the merchant is spotted by Jaethal's spies. He is chasing a priestes of her faith and asks you to intervene. You need to travel to the valley of the dead to meet her. You have several options after the dialogues which and end up in siding with Jaethal or the merchant. Whoever you side with a battle begins against those you didn't side with. If you side with Jaethal there is one more event with her during the war with Pitax. You will be told that a group of elves is demanding to see Jaethal. If you have followed along you should know they are the ones who banished her. If you go you meet Jaethal's daughter. Once again you have the choice to side with Jaethal or against her. Siding with her causes the death of her daughter and her becoming more powerful. Siding against her causes you to fight Jaethal losing her as a party member. If you have made certain choices and done certain things during her quests, she may come back later in a whole new form.
