Idalia Zynfryst

Idalia Zynfrist (2881 AC - 3114 AC) was a Warlock of the Raven Queen and a member of the Hunters.

Early Life
Much of Idalia's past is shrouded in mystery. Some time before joining the Hunters she was born to a minor noble family in the Kingdom of Gallacia. Some time after this she was enrolled in Saint Emilia's School for the Gifted, where she received an education. Following this, Idalia become a nun at a convent in southern Gallacia, spending the next century acting as a priestess of Ozymandias. It was likely during this time period that she was first contacted by the Raven Queen, who swayed her mind with promises of freedom and power.

With the Hunters
Following her departure from the convent, Idalia set out for the Bastion to become a Hunter of the Lorekeeper under instruction from the Raven Queen. She held this position for several years, lying in wait under orders from the Raven Queen. Upon the arrival of Shrieker to the Bastion, the Raven Queen revealed to Idalia that her purpose was to eliminate the Kenku at any cost, but to do so in secret. However, Shrieker's mysterious disappearance forced her to take a last violent path to find him, meaning she would need to get close to the party and use them to find him. Idalia spent some months looking for an opening, eventually getting it after the departure of Travis Kash on the journey to Heartforge. Idalia was sent as a replacement for the missing member and set out to gain the party's trust.

Some time during the horrific events within the Dwarvish capitol, the sudden disappearance of Housen and reappearance of Shrieker caused complications for her gradual plan. During the long time spent in the tunnels, Idalia suffered a mental break, which very nearly caused her to lose her mind completely. After the party was attacked in the elevator shaft by The Nightmare she felt forced due to the fear of death and the paranoia induced by the strange miasma within the city.

Idalia attempted to throw Shrieker from the elevator in the chaos, but failed. She was then confronted by the party, and made an attempt to defuse the situation. Shrieker, however, surmised that she was a follower of the Raven Queen sent to kill him, and fired his shortbow into her chest. Idalia responded with a final blast of magic that severely wounded Amanda Skellig, but could do no more as she was kicked off the elevator by Bromm Tryndamere, impacting the wall of the shaft and falling onto a platform.

Possession
Idalia's impact with the wall of the elevator shaft left her catastrophically injured and completely paralyzed. However, she did not die and instead was left with unbearable agony. Her whimpering form was discovered by the Nightmare, which forcefully infested her body to use as a puppet to track the Hunters. This agonizing procedure destroyed Idalia's mind, killing her. The Nightmare then confronted the party via this flesh puppet within the Hall of the Dead. After a short skirmish the body was thrown from a bridge into the depths of the cavern by Artoron Graves, where it met its final demise.
