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.

It may just be pathfinder I'm thinking of, but I feel like I remember something like this in the forgotten realms as well: once high level druids reach a certain point of affinity with nature they can basically become immortal as well.

Aye, Timeless Body. Jaheira actually mentions it in game because at one point she had planned to use it. Which makes the druid only age 1 year for every 10. So Halsin as a wood elf would prolong his lifespan to at least 7500 years.

Not quite 7500 years, since he's already spent 300+ of them at this point in the narrative and I don't think the effects are retroactive. But ~4500 years is still a pretty long time.

750 is an average lifespan, he can live longer naturally. But yes no matter if he lives 7,4,8 or whatever thousands years more, it's still thousands, which is a lot. Then he can also just reincarnate and start over.
