In the Campaign[]
Vantis and Lannus encountered Abigail in Tal Dara. She claimed that the Provider had spoken to her in her dreams and told her to lead her people north, and that the line of trees and flowers along the road to Daln was a sign from her god. She found the gates of Daln open and claimed the city, declaring that it was her people's promised sanctuary. She later refused Vantis' request to take her people south to defend Corhyr from the howlers, though stated that she would not ask anyone to stay against their will.
