Though, this leaves the bizarre notion of Balthazar, with the power of Myrkul... Somehow managed to not only pass all of Shar's trials, but also enter Shadowfall and use magic to bind Aylin to Ketheric all without Shar herself noticing or doing literally anything about such a tresspass.

I suppose Shar's pretty lenient of who goes through her stuff... Given that we can be literal Selunites and still reach Aylin in Shadowfell and she only cares if Shadowheart disobeys her... Though that just seems like a poorly formed handwave over a significant plothole because of the nature of sticking Aylin at the end of the Shar temple despite it making absolutely no sense whatsoever...
He doesn't need to get to the Nightsong himself to be Ketheric's necromancy/ritual specialist, though if he's not involved with that, it begs the question why he's so high in command. Trusting the swarmy necromancer unnecessarily with the secret to your immortality is a gamble. I would assume at minimum Ketheric had the means to get through the trials if he so wished, and maybe take others with him, at least until Shar decided the Nightsong will not be moved. Shar seems to have an almost personal grudge against Balthazar, though. PC attempting the trials? Fine. Balthazar? Actively hunted for some reason.


The guys repulsive..can you blame her?

OTOH most party members are pretty awesome in many ways so Shar gives them the “good looking” discount.
