We chatted with Jim Zub about what makes Nerys tick and how best we could integrate her with the champions. Max Dunbar created a Nerys image for twitter that coincided with our launch on consoles! Because of that belief, she is strongly against the concept of undead. She firmly stands by the idea that death comes to all, and those that die should move on. To quote Jim: "As a cleric of Kelemvor she sees to the dying and the dead and regards most pain with a sense of cold detachment even as she heals others and helps them deal with their own suffering." Nerys is a devout follower of Kelemvor, known as the God of the Dead.
IDLE CHAMPIONS OF THE FORGOTTEN REALMS NERYS SERIES
Nerys was created by Jim Zub and Max Dunbar for the Shadows of the Vampire comic series and she's not your typical cleric. The Heroes of Baldur's Gate have been featured in the IDW comic series' written by Jim Zub titled Legends of Baldur's Gate, Shadows of the Vampire, Frost Giant's Fury, and the most recent, Evil at Baldur's Gate which featured a variant cover on the back of issue 5 drawn by our very own Adam Kosh! Minsc & Delina are already in-game, and Krydle and Shandie may join them sometime in 2019. Other members include Minsc (and Boo!), Delina, Krydle, and Shandie.

A group of adventures known well throughout Baldur's Gate and the Sword Coast. Nerys is a member of the Heroes of Baldur's Gate. Beneath that frosty exterior is a loyal and caring adventurer, but it's a side she rarely shows to anyone outside her closest friends. As a cleric of Kelemvor, she grew up in service to the dying and the dead and developed a cold detachment to anything outside of duties to her faith. Who is Nerys: Nerys Kathon joined the Heroes of Baldur's Gate on a mission to protect her church, but was soon pulled into a harrowing journey to Barovia and beyond. Once you unlock Nerys, she swaps with Arkhan, Zorbu, and Azaka (Slot 12) Nerys is unlocked by playing Wintershield, a limited-time event launching on December 26th at noon Pacific and running until January 7th at noon Pacific. But don't forget that Wintershield is also a chance to collect and gear up Barowin Undurr, the Dwarf Cleric from last year's Wintershield extravaganza! I hope this blog will give you all you need to know about our latest champion. Nerys will be available in our next Year Two Event, Wintershield, which launches on Wednesday, December 26th. Today, we're going to go into early detail on our newest Champion: Nerys Kathon, the Human Cleric of Kelemvor and the latest addition to the Heroes of Baldur's Gate!
