She also owned a red dress , which she wore with a tight corselet with black lace . Personality . Alliisza was calculating and cold , always planning her moves ahead of time . She was also alluring and voluptuous . She was not averse to seducing anyone , for either business or pleasure . History . Background .

In 1372 DR , Aliisza resided in Ammarindar with Vhok , who sent her to spy on the Menzoberranyr drow who were working to uncover the mystery of the Silence of Lolth . It was during this time that she met the wizard Pharaun Mizzrym , whose child she later bore . She served as Vhok ' s liaison to Gracklstugh , as well as to Nimor Imphraezl of the Jaezred Chaulssin . Vhok sent her to spy on the journeys of Pharaun Mizzrym and Quenthel Baenre . She secretly aided Pharaun in steering a ship of chaos from the Lake of Shadows to the Abyss . She bid him farewell there and after his death retrieved the only remaining part of his body : a single finger . The Empyrean Odyssey . In 1373 DR , not long after the Scoured Legion left Menzoberranzan , Aliisza diguised herself as a serving girl named Ansa and infiltrated the household of Helm Dwarf - Friend in order to discredit him on behalf of Vhok , who wished to conquer Sundabar . Unbeknownst to her , Vhok and the priest Zasian Menz discovered she was pregnant and concocted a plan to use that to their advantage . They explained the plan to her but put her under a " geas " and made her forget until the time was right . Aliiza was captured by the astral deva Tauran , a servant of Tyr , and sent to the House of the Triad in order to give her child a chance to live a life of good , and to give Aliisza a chance at redeeming herself for her evil deeds . While standing trial before the [ Guardian ] ] , the knowledge that she was with child was revealed to her for the first time . After hearing her child must remain in that heavenly realm , Aliisza felt a very uncharacteristic moment of sadness and fear of losing her child , and she agreed to remain in the House of the Triad in order to hopefully be one day reunited with her child . Her mind was imprisoned in a lonely duplicate of the House , where she roamed at will , experienced her vile deeds from an outside perspective , and was occasionally visited by Tauran , who tried to show her the error of her ways and to persuade her to the side of good . While her spirit was undergoing those personality - changing trials , Aliisza ' s body gave birth to her son , Kael , who was sired by the drow Pharaun Mizzrym ( although Aliisza had expected it to be Vhok ' s child ) . Upon seeing her son for the first time ( many years after his birth , although the time passed much more quickly for her ) , Aliisza ' s magically removed memories came flooding back and her body was switched with that of her son . In that form , she traveled to the lair of the storm dragon Tekthyrios and shoved mushrooms down his throat , allowing a portal from the Elemental Plane of Fire to open in his belly and allow Vhok and Zasian to pass through . In that moment , twelve years passed in the outside world , Kael and Tauran appeared , Aliisza was returned to her own body , and it was revealed that Zasian was a priest of Cyric intending to wreak havoc on the heavens . Aliisza aided Vhok ( " geased " into helping ) , Tauran , and Kael in hunting down Zasian . She later allied with Micus , who was hunting them , in an attempt to prevent Zasian and Kashada from stealing Azuth ' s staff , but failed and her friends felt she had betrayed them , although she redeemed herself by helping them later . After Cyric used Azuth ' s staff to slay Mystra , magic went awry and Aliisza suffered from the effects of the Spellplague , gaining incredible magic power fueled by consuming her own life force . She and her companions ended up in the company of demon s fighting devil s in a remnant of the Blood Rift . Vhok betrayed them there , joining up with the marilith Vhissilka , and so Aliisza was forced to come up with a plan to reach freedom . She took Pharaun ' s desiccated finger from inside her sword and used it to summon his soul to enter the soulless body of Zasian , who had become a Living Vessel . Pharaun used his magic to effect their escape , but they were promptly captured and imprisoned by agents of the House of the Triad . However , when the demon lord Axithar ' s legions began invading the plane , they were released and headed to the Lifespring to prevent Vhok from reaching it . Vhok plunged his sword into Aliisza ' s stomach , and as she told him that she had once loved him she used the last of her life force to cast a spell to stop his heart . She died in the arms of her son , and even the healing powers of the Lifespring could not heal her . As she was dying she gave Kael his father ' s ring . Abilities . Aliisza was naturally able to disguise herself with magic . She could innately summon interdimensional portals . Possessions . Aliisza carried daggers in her belt and boots . She also had a magical Spellblade long sword and a ring of protection , which protected her from physical blows , on the third finger of her left hand . She carried a whistle that commanded the Scoured Legion . After retrieving Pharaun ' s finger , she kept it inside a compartment in her sword . Relationships . Kaanyr Vhok . Aliisza was Kaanyr Vhok ' s consort . Feeling that Vhok was soon to be a major power in the North , she was as loyal to him as a chaotic evil being could be . They had a relatively close relationship , although both sides allowed for dalliances with others . Even after her imprisonment , she claimed to love him ( as well as Kael , Tauran , and Pharaun ) . However , he felt betrayed by her loyalty to angels and betrayed her first , although he did admit to missing her afterwards , as he had always had a soft spot for her . After Vhok left her and the others in the Blood Rift , Aliisza wanted to hurt him in revenge and make him understand that he would always be alone . She used the last energy of her life to slay him to protect the Lifespring and her son . Pharaun Mizzrym . Aliisza was fascinated with Pharaun ' s wit after first meeting him in the tunnels of Ammarindar . She allowed him and his band to escape Vhok ' s army of tanarukk s . During the course of events , she had several intimate encounters with the drow mage Pharaun Mizzrym . ( It was during one of these trysts that she unknowingly became pregnant with Kael . ) When she saw him in peril in Ched Nasad , she saved his life . She also felt possessive of him ; seeing the beautiful Danifae Yauntyrr with him , she claimed Pharaun as her own . Kael . Kael was Aliisza ' s son , fathered by Pharaun Mizzrym . Upon learning she was pregnant , Aliisza instantly felt protective of her baby ; she claimed that was from her human side . Upon first meeting him , she hated his goodness and wanted to undo that fact that he had been raised as a champion of Torm . However , as she came to know him , she began to truly care for him , even protecting him against her lover . She died in Kael ' s arms . Appendix . Appearances . Novels .
