Alia Durinbold / Lady Alia Durinbold
ARCHIVE SUMMARY
A Patriar noble of the Durinbold family whose waterlogged corpse, recovered from a Sewer Keep purification tank, radiated potent necromantic energy and had been dead for several weeks. The discovery that a living woman bearing Lady Alia’s likeness had been seen in the city prompted a political investigation into a likely imposter within the city’s elite. A wood-elf member of the Durinbold Patriar family whose waterlogged corpse was recovered from a purification tank at Sewer Keep. The body bore signs of death by a powerful necrotic curse and had been dead for roughly four to five weeks, despite witnesses having seen someone posing as Lady Alia active in the city within the past week—creating the implication of an imposter among Baldur's Gate's elite. A Durinbold noblewoman whose decayed corpse was recovered from the sewers (previously noted); during the Silver Shield ball a living, charming woman appeared as Alia and later revealed herself to be a Red Wizard (Maelra Szandru) who had stolen Alia's identity to gain access to the Counting House vaults and the infernal quill. The impostor killed multiple patriars before fleeing and was later placed under arrest and interrogated.
