Weird choice of a [Selune] Dialoge to give in into killing the Nightsong...

[Talia Sendua]

Feels a bit out of place for me. Why would a Selune deity specific answer of a Selune cleric advocate for killing the Nightsong?

Isn't that paradox in itself?

Do you have the save? Can you take a screenshot of the dialogue option?

I would also love that screeny.... BUT

The only easy answer is that just because one is a cleric of a god doesn't mean they speak FOR that god. And being a mortal inherently makes them fallible.
If they knew what the Nightsong is ( Selune's actual daughter ), that would be weird.. but even then not impossible to conceive of a rp reason for it. ( Jealousy of one's deity's love isnt rare )


(Although gods in the Forgotten Realms are fallible as well... a digression I maybe shouldn't even mention...)

It literally says something along the lines of "[Selune] Maybe she should be put to piece. Send her back to Selune" or so.

Okay. Well, that would make sense given D&D cosmology and is appropriate for the scenario. Balthazar's necromancy harnesses the Nightsong's immortality for Ketheric. But disrupting the ritual and destroying the Nightsong's physical form, she can return to Ysgard where Selune and Tyr reside, one of the Outer Planes. I do wonder if Selune's intention in the power play is to keep Nightsong in the Sword Coast, or to be neutral. She'd probably want less of a role, and for the humans to resolve it themselves. So, metaphysically speaking, it matters little whether Nightsong survives or dies in that plane of existence.
