[sblock=DM Monkey's evil plan for Estelle...ethandrew read, others read at your own risk]Estelle went in search of her father at the Necropolis. That much we know. She told William to vamoose out of a concern for his spiritual well-being...she knew he was vulnerable and sent him away for his own good.
Several months have passed since then. Game mechanically speaking, Estelle will have gained 3rd level and completed her transition into half-vampire.
While in the Necropolis, she fell in with the mortal followers of Thanyx, known as Reavers. She witnessed the departure of the undead army, on its way into the orcish steppes. Of more importance to her, however, was the half-elf she met among the Reavers, an enigmatic and handsome fellow who tempted her into fully embracing her vampric heritage.
Whether she did or not is up to you, but during that dark journey, she learned that her father was destroyed shortly after she was born and that he was in Thanyx's inner circle. The enigmatic half-elf, whose name she never learned, regardless of whether she embraced his temptations, arranged a meeting between her and Thanyx.
Thanyx, the Lord of Death, a half black dragon/half-orc, told Estelle that her father was a small part of the manipulations of the Piper. Piper, one of the first Ten deities, like Thanyx himself, was himself a half-elf...Thanyx even hinted that Estelle's mysterious benefactor may have been Piper. Thanyx revealed that Estelle's creation was no accident...Piper believed that a creature that walked the line between life and death could potentially be immune to the soul-draining ability of both shadowstone and of the Dagger of Souls, the murder weapon of Johen's mentor.
With that information, Estelle has been given a choice...pursue her own existence or find the Dagger, for good or for ill. In her hands, the Dagger could be used to finally imprison Azilyk, the Serpent Queen. It could also be used to unleash Azilyk's full power on the world.
Will she ever meet the mysterious half-elf again? What path will she choose? Darkness or Light? Redemption or Corruption?
Only one way to find out.
