Lady Aribeth de Tylmarande is a fictional character in the BioWare game Neverwinter Nights. Aribeth is an elven paladin of Tyr, the Blind God of Justice.
Aribeth's Role in the game
Lady Aribeth is one of the first characters that the player hears about in the game. In the introductory movie, the player learns that Lady Aribeth has been chosen by the lord of Neverwinter City, Nasher Alagondar, as the city's champion during the tribulations of the Wailing Death. She gives the player his/her primary missions in the prologue, chapter one, and chapter two. Before chapter two begins, her lover, Fenthick Moss, is found guilty by association and is hanged for trusting his friend Desther, who was really a cultist. After that, Aribeth is never the same. During chapter two the player can find out much more about Lady Aribeth's past and her current character. With prompting Aribeth will confide that she once led the life of a vengeful hunter until Tyr appeared before her in a vision. At the end of chapter two, Aribeth vanishes into the City of Luskan. The player learns from reading her abandoned journals that out of grief, she has joined ranks with the enemy, Maugrim Korothir.
At the end of the game, the player must fight Lady Aribeth. The player must then choose what to do with her: kill her, or let her live.
In the Neverwinter Nights expansion pack Hordes of the Underdark, Lady Aribeth appears again as a ghost in the Eighth Hell of Baator, Cania. After the player convinces her to devote herself either to Lawful Good or Lawful Evil she will join the player.
