What's the deal with the undercity main cavern bard?

[alex petricov]

After the quest "Qalian's last smile" a bard starts appearing in the main cavern of the undercity and continuously sings about that murder of the 10 girls. The bard is a scarred woman with black eyes and after trying to attack her it turns out she's invincible. Wadduya think, is this an illusion or a ghost or something else? Other than instant assumptions have no ideas myself.

And can she be interacted with in any way?

Is it a different song to Night of the Raven? That's definitely on YouTube already.

Though maybe not the same performance, not sure.

I have just heard it, most unexpectedly.

Wow. It's certainly a beautiful performance. I stopped and listened to it carefully. A chilling moment.

Well done to the devs and to the performer. Bravo!

This must be the game holding the record of highest number of times i got sidetracked by a song!

As for what she's doing there, i says it's the Father's doing... again 😜

I've long since completed the quest 'Qalian's Last Smile,' but I don't recall ever having encountered the female Bard in the Undercity - and I've looked all over for her, beginning with the Main Cavern. (I'm not entirely finished with the Rhalâta quest line though, so maybe she'll turn up eventually.)

Anyway, I got curious after reading the OP and I downloaded all the Enderal DLC from Steam (4 items, all free).

Among the Bard Songs (found in their own folder, which is nested inside the Enderal/DLC folder), I found a song entitled "The Song of the Libra."

This song begins with the words, "Ten girls he found," so I think it's more than likely the one being discussed here, and it's sung by the same female vocalist (in English) who sings "The Night of the Raven" (which is also found in the same folder).

The two songs do sound very similar - almost as if 'The Song of the Libra' was a continuation of 'The Night of the Reaven.'

And yeah, it's a hauntingly beautiful tune - they both are, really.

I think Qalian told a story to one of the prostitutes he rented, and then she told the story to one of her friends, etc. Simple enough.

I forget, do you ever find the Butcher's corpse?
