Lady Jhudyth is a member of the Brotherhood of the Crystal Star, and a recent addition to its High Council of Elders. Unlike most of her peers, she studied the secrets of Right-Handed Magic of the Nadziranim in order to replicate its secrets in the Left-Handed Path of Good. However, she faced fierce opposition from the likes of Banedon, who argued it was a corrupting influence, and no different to the actions of Vonotar, who betrayed the forces of Good. Nevertheless, Jhudyth's research came in useful in helping Grand Master in their quests, and kept Banedon's criticism at bay for a time.
Appearance[]
Jhudyth has silver-white hair.[1]
Biography[]
In MS 5102, prior to the events of Dead in the Deep, Jhudyth helped Steel Hand on his quest to infiltrate Emolyria to discover (and thwart) the plans of the Acolytes of Vashna. However, Steel Hand was captured. Jhudyth later helped Grand Master on their quest to complete Steel Hand's quest, and to rescue him.[1] Depending on the actions of the player, Grand Master may see the philosophical tension between Jhudyth and Banedon first-hand, with Banedon warning that Jhudyth's studies of the Black Arts would lead to the downfall of Good.[2]
The Elder Magi and the Brotherhood later sent out a party to rescue Grand Master and Steel Hand after they had completed their quest. Jhudyth lost her vessel, as did Banedon, and the two were forced to lead the battle from Lord Rimoah's Comet ship. Jhudyth's magic, inspired by the studies of Right-Handed Magic, allowed the Magicians' Guild to prevail, albeit at a terrible cost.[3] This gave Jhudyth the political capital to influence the High Council to teach her innovations to the entire Brotherhood, much to Banedon's dismay, although he could no longer protest.[4]
