Adeen

Adeen was a priestess of the goddess Saharna and the main religious figure in the religious capital of Baldur's Gate. She was the facilitator of the annual Mirtul sacrifices and a close friend of the queen. However, she ultimately met her end by the hands of the very people she meant to sacrifice.
==Education and Rise to Power==
Much of Adeen's childhood is unknown, although she is believed to have originated from a fairly poor family. She became acquainted with Coin during the beginning of the queen's reign, and the two became friends. The now-queen instructed Adeen in the ways of Saharna and, feeling a deep-rooted connection to the deity, began studying to become a priestess. Adeen's power developed quickly, and several years after Coin's rule was established he named Adeen as the High Priestess.
It was Adeen who assisted in the designing of the new temple at Baldur's Gate, and she oversaw everything that happened outside and inside. She began recruiting young women to take her side in the temple, promising them enlightenment and immunity from the queen's "plans" (later, the annual sacrifices, which at this point had only been conceptualized by Adeen and the queen).
== Sacrifice and Death ==
Adeen oversaw the religious practices of the Sword Coast for fifteen powerful years. At the beginning of Mirtul, she would pray to Saharna to instruct her on settlements from which to procure sacrifices and would travel there with a group of guards to collect five beings. However, at perhaps her own fatal mistake--or perhaps the goddess'-- was selecting Paw of Bear, Talvi Snowguard, Raine Whispers, and Kira-fang. The four of them managed to escape at the last moment, and Adeen decided she was better off traveling to Elturel to find new sacrifices to appease the goddess. Unfortunately, her message about traveling to Elturel had been intercepted by those very four, who tracked her down and managed to kill her.
==Revival and True Death==
Through the efforts of Abyssal priestess under the rule of Saharna, Adeen was resurrected as a balor in front of Elien Rencrist. Despite Elien's move to attempt to fight her off for the prophesied to escape, Adeen managed to re-capture Elien in balor form, bringing her to the Abyss with her. She was eventually apprehended within the Abyss by Talvi Snowguard, Corvas Esy'Nirinth, Malcer Dragonvale, Ravalynn Gemwish, Kaztzos, Maka Maka, and Ruby. Not only did they manage to rescue Elien, but they also killed Adeen on her new home plane, ending her life for good.
