Susdera

Susdera is a necromancer of the Cult of Myrkul. She is found atop Moonrise Towers, and assists Ketheric Thorm in battle against the party.

Involvement

If entering the rooftop of Moonrise Towers after completing  Find Ketheric Thorm's Relic (i.e. freeing or killing the Nightsong and thus ending Ketheric's immortality), a cutscene with him is triggered followed by fight against him and his allies. Susdera is then one of Ketheric's allies in battle against the party.

If entering the rooftop of Moonrise Towers before completing  Find Ketheric Thorm's Relic, Susdera stops and admonishes them to turn back. Answering "I go where I wish" causes her and all eight Necromites to turn hostile. Ketheric Thorm does not become hostile unless getting too close to him. However, he cannot be defeated this time because he is still immortal.

Unlike the Zealots, Adepts, and other members of the Cult of the Absolute, it appears Susdera and other Mistresses of Souls are fully aware of what the Absolute is and the religious hoax they're perpetrating. This greater understanding (and accompanying disdain) is shared by the other high-ranking Myrkulite necromancers serving General Thorm, with Kressa Bonedaughter bemoaning the weak servility of the infected she's presented with, and Balthazar using the player character's worm-infested status as an expletive.
