Icewind Dale Wiki

Championing the worship of nature is an optional interaction in chapter 1+ of the game.

Quick walkthrough[]

  1. Talk to one of the unnamed townspersons in Kuldahar about their faith using a druid party member.

Walkthrough[]

In Kuldahar, talk to a character whose tooltip reads "townsperson" (it doesn't matter which one).

Ask them about the town's temple, and why they don't worship there.

If your speaking party member is a druid, you can praise the townsperson's respect for nature, and say a druidic blessing for them. They give you an Aquamarine Gem, and you also get 1200 exp.

Dialog path

What did you want to know about Kuldahar? Or did you want to know what's been going on *around* Kuldahar?

I'd like to know about Kuldahar itself, actually.

Well, Kuldahar's not a big place, but I can tell you a bit about it, if you want.

There any churches or temples nearby?

There's a Temple to Ilmater here, in the northeast canyon, just beneath the wrecked airship. Don't know if that's your faith or not, but the Brothers and the Reverend Mother are good people.

Ilmater?

Aye, he's the god of suffering, the crying god. His priests seek to help alleviate the sufferings of others by taking on their pain. Don't know all the teachings, but that's pretty much how I understand it.

Don't you worship him?

Well, I'll tell you friend, one look at the great tree of Kuldahar, and it seems to me that nature's the only thing really deserving of worship around here. I mean—the branches nearly scrape the clouds, it seems. Beautiful sight, it is.

It gratifies me to hear of your respect for nature. I too have taken nature into my heart, and it grants me strength. [Druid]

If I had half that oak's strength, I'd be a fortunate one, I would.

I could bestow upon you a minor blessing, if you're willing. [Druid]

Aye—I'd appreciate such a kindness, I would.

Very well. Close your eyes—feel the ground beneath your feet, the running water of the creek, the wind through the branches... now open your eyes.

Whoa. Everything seems... clearer... nay, sharper, somehow. Thank you. Here—take this; it's not much, but it might be enough to pay for your stay here in Kuldahar.

You can only do this once.
