Halatathlaer is the ghost of a female metallic dragon who guards the entrance to the ruined city of Kanaglym located within the Underground River beneath Dragonspear Castle. Her essence was bound against her will inside of a Ghost Jar by the evil necromancer Kherriun and she commands the dragon to do her bidding.
Destroying the ghost jar will free her spirit from the enslavement and she will come to the party's aid during the confrontation with Kherriun and her Dark Magician minions. After the battle is over, she will give her thanks and some sage words of wisdom before she enters the waters of the Nepenthe and travels to the Fugue Plane:
“ | Beware the Exile. He covets what you possess. | ” |
If you have found and entered one of two caves located within the Underground River area that contains several Blind Albino Wyrmlings and have killed them, Halatathlaer will thank you for being merciful in ending their wretched existence. Her long-lost eggs were captured by the necromancer Ithtaerus long ago and the resulting hatchlings have been corrupted into the twisted beasts that attacked the party in the cave.
