Silver

Summary

Silver was a sentient or semi-sentient female automaton in Cardonald’s desert laboratory, apparently used as a practice vessel and later controlled through a ring or soul mechanism.

Known Details

  • Silver had been in the desert laboratory for 601 years and without the mistress for 907 years.
  • She served the party wine, explained the mistress’s death in a spell accident, and gave a tour of the laboratory.
  • She tried to take a golden band with a smashed ruby resembling Eno’s ring.
  • Her voice changed, she attacked doors with magic missile, and she said she wanted to get out after being trapped like she had trapped her friends.
  • The laboratory contained spare parts for Silver, suggesting she had been a practice vessel rather than a true friend.
  • Dirk threw her into the Barrier, destroying the soul, after which Cardonal took over the construct.
