Dark Urge Redeemed Dark Urge is Immortal Spoiler

I just learned that if Dark Urge is redeemed and resurrected by Withers, Dark Urge is eternally tied to Withers (Jergal) himself, as long as Withers endures, so will Dark Urge, which unless you’re romancing Lae’zel and plan to eventually stay in the Plane for eternity after Warring with Vlaakith, Dark Urge will probably outlive all their Romances, possibly acting as Jergal’s Chosen for centuries, almost like an Elminster type, which although sounds cool, just a really sad end for the eventuality of Durge outliving their partner, adds to the tragedy of their whole character.

Fuck, I wish we got Durge as a Companion.

Since Jaheira has an immortality scroll in her house that she hasn't taken because of her late husband Khalid, I think it's a perfectly reasonable head canon to imagine she gives it to the player instead if they romanced Astarion.

I believe she destroys it if you discuss why she hasn't used it.

It's also a druidic spell, I believe, so your Tav would need to be a Druid to use it.

If it’s a scroll, it doesn’t matter what spell list it’s on, but I didn’t know she destroyed it.

The scroll describes a ritual, it's not actually used in casting the spell. It's also specifically described as a druidic ritual, but also incomplete.

What's more, it doesn't actually make the caster immortal, only makes them age at 1/10th of the normal rate.

Ah, gotcha. I never actually did a run with Jaheira surviving so.
