Quest-Related EventsEdit

You come across the sorceress Belienne, who due to an experiment going wrong, had various facets of personality get loose and take on lives of their own. After you agree to help, you locate Despair, Delight and Fear and Belienne will reintegrate them into herself. After speaking with Fear, you learn she was fleeing the "scary one" that threatened to kill her because she was "too pretty".

Belienne will realise that the last facet is likely her Vanity, and she is worried what her unfettered facet may do to the Wood Elves in Dawnwood. When you meet with Belienne in Vashabar to search for her Vanity, you find her being confronted by Elelorn with a pig at his side.

He claims that Belienne turned Mindiras into said pig and that she had escaped prison. Belienne will convince Sarragwen to allow you to speak with the prisoner, who shows no remorse and gleefully admits to turning Mindiras into a pig. Belienne realises that this facet of her personality also contains her rage, and you convince her to accept that part of herself.

After she has reunited with the last of her personality facets, she will go about fixing what she has done to Mindiras:

Belienne: "I'm so sorry for what she, well, I, did to your wife. Let me make amends."
Elelorn: "Enough of your tricks! You can fix this by returning my wife to me!"
Belienne: "Of course. Please, allow me to reverse the spell."
<Belienne raises her right hand and magical light surrounds the pig, turning her back into Mindiras.>
Mindiras: "Oh, thank Y'ffre that's over!"
Elelorn: "Mindiras, my love, you're back! Sarragwen, I revoke my charges. Let the stranger leave and put this behind us."
Sarragwen: "Very well. You are both free to go."
Belienne: "Thank you. And you, friend. I won't forget all your help in this."

You can speak with Mindiras once she has been turned back into an elf:

"I still can't believe I'm back. I thought I'd be trapped as a pig forever!
At least your friend made good on her promise, but I'm not sure what to think of her. I don't know if I'll ever be able to eat pork again after this."
