Kagha

Kagha is a wood elven druid in the Emerald Grove during Act One. She was Halsin's Second Druid, but named herself First Druid in his absence. She enacted the Rite of Thorns to seal the Grove off, no matter the consequences.
== Overview ==
=== Personality ===
Kagha is willing to take drastic action to prove her authority over the Emerald Grove. She views the tiefling refugees as parasites and refers to them as devils and a rot to be cleansed.
Kagha justifies her actions as those of a watchful broodmother. As such, Kagha admires drow and duergar for their culture of self-preservation. If the player character is a drow or duergar, she attempts to appeal to them by calling their presence a gift.

If searching the sanctum, Kagha's personal chest can be found. Lockpicking it reveals a letter that advances and guides the party to a covert location in the Swamp, where the party can learn that Kagha is secretly planning to offer the Grove to the Shadow Druids of the Cloakwood.
If returning and confronting Kagha about her plan, the Shadow Druids reveal themselves and ask Kagha to attack the party and everyone else in the Sanctum. The party can persuade Kagha to see her wrongs and to instead join the Grove's druids.
Should Kagha survive, she shows remorse for her actions. She thanks the party and allows the tieflings to remain at the Grove for as long as they need. If the player character is a druid, she bestows them the title of Faithwarden and gifts them .
==== Kagha's fate ====

== Notes ==
* "Ssifisv," the command she gives Teela, is a draconic command to step down.
* In combat, Kagha prioritizes maintaining Moonbeam above all other actions. This can often lead her to walk into her own Moonbeam. It can also cause the deaths of nearby NPCs with low HP such as Loic or Silver.
