From the moment one enters the Gauntlet of Shar it is full of books, letters, frescos, statues and numerous other audio & visual elements including Shar's own monologues which portray the history of the place, along with the process of becoming a Dark Justiciar by killing a Selunite while implying that the person inside the Shadowfell is a powerful being deeply connected to Selune. Because the whole "Selune vs Shar" thing is the underlying centerpiece of ACTs 1 & 2 stories and the whole reason why ACTs 1 and 2 are in such disarray.

  • A book about Nightsong laying underneath Selune's statue in the Underdark in ACT 1;

  • Shadowheart herself prior to taking the elevator down says that the person inside the Shadowfell is highly unlikely to just be a mere mortal.

  • The Sharran riddle confirming only Shar can kill the Nightsong (therefore it is absolutely not a mere random mortal that has no connection to Selune);

  • A fresco stating the person inside is Selune's own blood (because this temple emerged after Ketheric turned to Shar and then had Aylin imprisoned);

  • If these clues are too subtle... then prior to entering the Shadowfell Shar herself literally speaks to Shadowheart and asks her to kill the Selunite imprisoned inside it. The player can listen-in on this conversation if they enter Shadowheart's thoughts while Shar is speaking to her.

There are countless of lore dumps all around the place so it should be quite obvious that the Nightsong is a powerful Selunite that has has been getting killed repeatedly by thousands of Sharrans in the last 100 years because all of the Dark Justiciars we see around ACTs 1 & 2 were Ketheric's own army, most of which converted from Selune to Shar so they had to kill a Selunite to become one.

Therefore they have been killing Aylin for quite a long time because if you as a player kill Aylin without the spear (intentionally or accidentally), you will gain the [DARK JUSTICIAR] tag and then she'll revive back immediately to taunt you about it;

And when she is truly killed because of Shar's unholy spear it is not Shar who suddenly gains some power boost for her curse, because it is not Shar in the first place who is even maintaining the curse. It's Ketheric who unleashed it and maintains it. Instead Selune's power wavers because her daughter just got truly murdered so Isobel can no longer channel enough power from her goddess and everyone dies.

Which is what I said twice, so am not sure where the misunderstanding that she was channeling Aylin's power came from because Aylin's celestial powers are completely dampened as long as she remains shackled to Ketheric.


Very well put together and thoughtful! You’ve been very patient and more than clear. It makes perfect sense that the last bastion of Selune’s power in the region, Last Light, would fall when the actual daughter of Selune was murdered.
