Karihi

Biography

“When asked about her past, KARIHI is unusually reticient, a far cry from her usual fiery and commanding demeanor. All you can discern from the few details you can gather is that she hails from a region in the far eastern corner of Faerûn, and judging from her eloquence and intelligence, is likely of noble descent. Fittingly for her fire genasi heritage, she is hot-tempered and quick to take offense, as well as self-assured and arrogant, but her skills as a pyromancer and scholar are undeniably impressive. Only time could possibly tell what personal secrets she has to hide.”

Karihi may be recruited in Easthaven, standing outside the Snowdrift Inn.

Friendship & Romance

Karihi has a series of friendship dialogues throughout the game, and a male human, elf or half-elf PC with 9+ Charisma may start a romance with her. Three early dialogues require the party to go to the tavern or inn in Kuldahar.
