Well, my version of her is married to a man in his fifties... But he's not a noble. He owns a nice jewelry store, though.
Is there any chance we'll be seeing this published at Candlekeep, Wooly?
Yup, as soon as the next Compendium comes out. Though I don't really focus on the Alias clone, since it wasn't her tale I was telling. |

Very little. Presumably she feels the same way about him she did in the books -- having a very challenging father-daughter relationship where the father is not particularly available on an emotional level and the daughter has responded by mostly closing herself off -- and I would guess has a hard time seeing him or treating him as a god. That said, they are probably both maturing and developing a more adult parent-child relationship, as when things ended they're relationship seemed to be thawing. How much for these two stubborn beings, is anyone's guess. |

Anyone else think that the ECL adjustment needs to changed +1 seems a to low for a template that creates a character that has 17 for every stat (or the equivelant of 72 point buy) |

I'm glad you didn't, since I'm using her in my next Lord of Waterdeep article...

I think it was stated in the books that he was a demon. There might also be a brief write-up in FR7 - Hall of Heroes.
--Eric
Hall of Heroes tells us that Phalse was in fact the demon that Cassana was originally trying to contact.

Well, Eric couldn't catch every stray reference to Waterdeep, although it would have been "cool" to have included her. Maybe next time.

That reference was indeed in Song of the Saurials. It was when Zhara was Alias how she and Akabar had met some of the other Alias clones. It's page 193, where five of the clones are mentioned: a sage in Candlekeep, a mage in Immersea (Cat), an eastern warrior (the possible ninja), a thief who was murdered (Jade More), and a "lady of some power in Waterdeep" (the courtesan?).
However, as I noted above, it wasn't the first reference (unless there's two Alias clones in Waterdeep). |

She wasn't named. At the end of Azure Bonds, when all the clones were first discovered, one is described as wearing the garb of a Waterdhavian courtesan. That's on pages 363-4.
Since there's no reason not to, I've always assumed the "lady of some power" and the courtesan were one in the same.
Me, I named her Sapphire and made her a psionicist; she's married to my fourth and final Lord of Waterdeep, a psionicist named Sierkan Dahl. |
