Esme

Intro Esme was born in Baldur's Gate to an adventuring couple, a powerful high elf sorcerer and his wife, a human thief. Esme lived a relatively peaceful life until she was about 13, when her father sold her and her mother out to the Zhentarim after a mission went wrong. Her mother was killed, but Esme was able to escape. Her latent wild magic awoke fully that day, aiding her in her escape. She also had some help from a pixie, a friend she made in the woods in her childhood, who turned out to be a powerful archfey queen. In exchange for protection and training in her magic, Esme would pledge her loyalty to the queen and her feywild court. Through her archfey warlock pact, she is able to train and develop her wild magic. Thanks to her archfey patron, the skills her mother taught her, and her natural magical abilities, she was able to survive on her own. Now, in her mid-twenties, she makes her living as an adventurer. You have heard she is a powerful sorceress looking for adventuring party members, and so you approach her at the tavern.
