Maiden Shadow

Ah, see what happens when I get all wrapped up in testing out another mod?  I miss the opportunity to thank a kind soul in a timely manner.  Please forgive me for my rudeness, Thimblerig, and thank you.  This news gives my heartsick blade an immeasurably huge amount of hope.

I will take the silence as my answer.

To create my own solution, I have retreated to a previous save before Haer'Dalis joined my blade's group and I shall have her go through more of Chapter Two before seeking him out.  I'm not yet sure just how much of Chapter Two I'll have her go through by that point, but hopefully multiple saves will serve as an adequate safety net.
