Giovanna "Gia" di Bardi (1425-1500) wife of Lorenzo di Bardi was married against her will, but as an extremely devout Christian, took it as a sign from God that this is what He had planned for her. She devoted her life to relieving the poor and dispossessed. She is remembered not only for her charitable work, but also for her support of the arts. Over time she did come to love her husband who loved her dearly. She gave birth to three sons and two daughters, of which one son and one daughter took Holy Orders. She passed away four days after her 75th birthday and was entombed in the di Bardi family crypt.

Beldoran has also discovered that Dolroth the Lich Lord and Gura the Vile have joined forces with Dagda. Beldoran has asked Belgrath to use his gift of sight to find what Dagda is planning.
