Jaheira Baldur's Gate 1
Jaheira Location
Jaheira is a Baldur's Gate companion in BioWare's cRPG of 1998, Baldur's Gate 1. Along with Khalid, Jaheira is found at the beginning of Chapter One in the Friendly Amn Inn common room.
She and Khalid will disappear from the gameworld forever unless they are recruited before Chapter Two (arrival in Nashkel).
Jaheira is a Fighter Druid multi-class, a Harper, and a Baldur's Gate canon party member.
The best armor for Jaheira is Ankheg Plate or Mithral Chain Mail. Note that Jaheira can wield Drizzt scimitars.
Gorion often said that he worried for your safety, even at the expense of his own. He also wished that Khalid and I would become your guardians, if he should ever meet an untimely end. However, you are much older now, and the choice of your companions should be your own.
It would be a fitting last service to Gorion, though we should first go to Nashkel. Khalid and I.....look into local concerns, and there are rumors of strange things happening at the mine. No doubt you have heard of the iron shortage? You would do well to help us. It affects everyone, including you. We are to meet the mayor of the town, Berrun Ghastkill.

Jaheira Biography
When asked about her past, JAHEIRA glares as she speaks. She says that she was born in the Tethyr region to a loyalist of the King Alemander regime, unfortunately during the Tethyrian civil war. Her family was among the nobles targeted by the angry mobs of peasants, and she was only spared because a servant girl took her from their castle before it fell. They fled into the forest of Tethyr and stumbled across an enclave of Druids willing to take the child. Jaheira grew up a very headstrong girl, believing that the only way to protect nature was to have an active role in the world. She seems to have little in common with Khalid, but even though her manner is often confrontational she apparently cares deeply for him. Her admiration of Gorion is obvious, and she plainly states that whomever was responsible for his death will suffer an equal fate.
Entillis Fulsom acknowledges Jaheira if our reputation is decent:
Harper / Zhentarim factional rivalry
The Harpers and Zhentarim are opposing factions in the Forgotten Realms.
• You are amusing, in a "what the hell is wrong with you" kind of way. - Jaheira.
• Oh speak no more, lest ye gorge my sweet tooth! - Xzar.
• I don't want to seem c-confrontational, but could you be a little less . . . well . . . evil? - Khalid.
• Ye live longer if ye don't annoy me. Mayhaps even a week or more. - Montaron.
So! It's Harpers and Zhentarim duking it out! Who will win? It could go either way!
Faldorn - Jaheira rivalry: Nature's Servant was raised by more tolerant Druids of the Tethyrian forest, whereas Faldorn is a fanatical Shadow Druid who rages against all who threaten the Great Mother:
On more than one occasion, she challenges Jaheira's more balanced beliefs:
She also tries to provoke Jaheira through Khalid: Jaheira, your choice of a mate suits your weakling nature. But in what is probably an oversight or lack of time in the dev cycle, Jaheira doesn't respond to any of this.

- Remove (content): I openly question your judgement, but it is your decision to make. You do show some measure of leadership, and I should be glad to assist you in the future. Come Khalid, we must depart for now.
- Remove (discontent): Perhaps it is for the best. I would rather be somewhere else, as you appear to be somewhat of a lost cause. You have some of Gorion's sense, but little of his wisdom. Come Khalid, there are better places for us than this.
