Viconia DeVir History . Viconia left her house and trappings as a priestess of Lolth after she failed to slay a baby in Lolth ' s name . A rival killed the child in her stead and House DeVir fell out of favour with the Drow ' s fell deity . Sacrifices of wealth and servants were no use , it seemed Lolth only wanted one thing from them : Viconia herself . Matron DeVir was desperate for Viconia to prostrate herself in front of Lolth , especially after a lesser house failed to destroy them after learning of their newfound weakness , but Viconia refused , sick of Lolth ' s ways , somehow believing that she would still survive with her station intact . Her mother had her taken away to be sacrificed to the Spider Queen but her brother Valas , a powerful wizard , saved her and killed their enraged mother . For his actions , he was turned into a Drider by Lolth . Viconia was stripped of her clerical powers and fled to the surface while finding renewed faith in Shar . She was saved from a goblin attack by a Calishite caravan only to be used as a pleasure slave by its rotund owner . She quickly bent him to her will and bade the caravan go wherever she wished . However , one night , his heart gave out and the guards assumed Viconia had murdered him . The Protagonist first found her on the run from a Flaming Fist mercenary and had to be saved . Later , she bought some land on the outskirts of Beregost , not with the intention of farming it , but simply as a place to stay . She remained hooded at all times , even when conversing with her neighbour and awkward friend Roran Midfallow . When she finally decided to remove her hood , it was too late , Roran had already worked out what she was and had concocted a plan . He and his sons tortured her before burying her alive . She escaped and killed Roran and his sons then burned down his farmhouse before fleeing south to Amn . She ' d had a few nasty run - ins before getting to Athkatla where again , she was recognized , this time by followers of Beshaba . Luckily , she recognized the Protagonist again in the Government District of the city and was once again saved . In The Game . In the first game , Viconia can be found in the Peldvale area , fleeing a member of the Flaming Fist . The Flaming Fist will give the player option of helping him kill her , or of siding with the drow . If the player character kills the mercenary , Viconia will join them . Because of her high dex and wisdom , she excels as a backrow sling - wielder and cleric , and becomes a decent fighter when given a strength enhancing item , such as the Gauntlets of Ogre Power . In the second game , the player encounters her tied to a stake in the Athkatla ' s Government District , where followers of Beshaba are intending to burn her . Toward the end of their dialog , Viconia recognizes the player character and asked for aid . If the player unties Viconia from the stake , the Beshabans become hostile , and must be killed . After that , she offers to join the party . It is possible for the player character to start a romance with Viconia , but it is considered to be the most difficult of the 3 possible romances for a male character . In Throne of Bhaal , Viconia can join the party if she was either in the player ' s party before the transition or is summoned from the pocket plane . The romance continues in this game , if it lasted until the conclusion in Shadows of Amn . In addition , it becomes possible to change Viconia ' s alignment to True Neutral , if the player character makes the right decisions during the romance dialogs . During the encounter with the Shade in the Forest of Mir , if the player has a romance with Viconia , one of the shades will take the form of her brother , Valas , and will accuse her of betraying him . According to her ending storyline , after the Bhaalspawn saga , she created a cult to Shar in Waterdeep , but after being in troubles with her deity she wandered the Realms again . She protected Calimport when it was under the attack of the Knights of the Shield , and she even joined Drizzt Do ' Urden to save the elven city of Suldanessellar , so it seems that she finally changed her alignment . Due to these acts she was accepted between the elves , an honour never before given to one of her kind , but she departed . It is unknown where she went . Alternatively if the player chooses to stay mortal and is in a romance with Viconia then she and the player continue adventuring . With the player becoming an important political figure while , she was his counsel . Eventually she bore the player ' s child which at first strained their relationship . The birth however changed her , and she dedicated herself to raising the boy , teaching him both the ways of the drow and of the player ' s people . She marveled at the understanding in his eyes , but unfortunately didn ' t live to see him grow . Viconia was poisoned by a servant of Lolth , her last words whispered to her loving mate in private .
