Sagani is a female boreal dwarf ranger and one of the recruitable companions in Pillars of Eternity.

She can be found and recruited in the middle of the Woodend Plains, which is accessible after completing The Old Watcher. She has a fox named Itumaak as an animal companion.

Sagani is a 57 years old boreal dwarf from Massuk in Naasitaq, a tundra island in the southern parts of Eora. She is a capable hunter, dutiful mother, and loving wife. As per Naasitaq customs, she and her husband, Kallu, were chosen for one another by their parents. They chose well, as the two formed strong bonds of friendship and eventually love. As Sagani hunted to provide food for her people and goods for trade, Kallu built a home and raised their children. They had five: Yakona, Najuo, and Malaak survived the harsh, lean winters. Estuya and Aniik, unfortunately, did not.

As a Massuk, she is a long hunter, responsible for stalking game across the tundra with some of the other wives. Their usual prey involves caribou and oxen, but hares and birds make for good provisions as well. Hunters are respected in Massuk, so Sagani enjoys - or enjoyed - the respect and love of her peers.

The Long Hunt[ | ]

She is currently in the midst a hunt for Persoq, the reincarnated elder of her tribe. When the omens were determined, based on caribou migrations and casting seal bones, all village huntresses drew shark teeth to determine who would have the honor. Sagani drew the little one. Although she was loathe to leave Kallu and her children, she accepted the quest. With an adra figurine in hand, her hunting gear, and Itumaak at her side, she set out from Naasitaq in search of the elder. She didn't expect the hunt to take five years to complete, much less take her all the way to Dyrwood. The desire to see new lands slowly petered out, replaced with grim determination and no small amount of homesickness.

The fact that her quest brings her in contact with various disreputable people doesn't help. Her latest experience was with a self-proclaimed Watcher who conned her out of five golden ducs in exchange for a vague hint to seek the crossroads in the field between the 'wolf's lair' and the 'twining trees.' As a veteran tracker, she immediately identified the Woodend Plains as her goal, as they lay between Defiance Bay (the duc is nicknamed Wolf-grin) and Twin Elms. She left him with a parting gift in the form of an arrow in his knapsack, warning him that she will find him to lodge a complaint if she finds he cheated her. Fortunately for the con-man, she runs into the Watcher at the crossroads, finally starting to make headway on her personal quest.

That said, she isn't ready to simply give up on what's a sacred tradition of her people. The Tarneq-Ilitsaak, soul-recovery, occurs once a generation when a huntress is chosen to seek out the soul of a respected and long-dead village elder, to tell them how the village fares and what people remember of him. Sagani remembers a single such occurrence in her lifetime, more than half a century ago... The honored huntress never returned from her quest and the village never really spoke of her after the festival ended. It bothers Sagani to no end, not so much the possibility of death, but being forgotten by her people and, more importantly, her family.

Other interactions[ | ]

  • Sagani and Itumaak have no small amount of interactions with other members of the team, particularly Edér. The Eothasian is fond of animals and loves petting them. Itumaak... Well, he's not all that happy about it.

Companion quest[ | ]

  • Sagani's companion quest is The Long Hunt, which is received as soon as she is recruited. It requires traveling to various parts of the world map and cannot be finished until Act 3.

Endings[ | ]

Sagani's ending can be divided into three major paths and are determined by whether she believes more in duty, family or her journey being completely pointless. Which path she chooses can be greatly influenced by various dialog options while traveling together. The dialog-choices at the end of her quest The Long Hunt are especially impactful.

"Even if you are putting one over on me [...]"

"Five years for me. Must be [...]"
 
→ "What an adventure!" +1
→ "That must be exhausting." +1
"It's been a long hunt. [...]"
 
→ "You should go home, then." +1
"In bad years, we rely on trade [...]"

"Sounds like you're on a hunt of your own, though. [...]"
 
→ "I enjoy the adventure. Every day brings something new." +1
→ "Running around like this keeps me from what matters to me. I'd been hoping to settle down." +1
→ "Does it matter? I don't have much of a choice in this, anyway." +1

Initial points[ | ]

Sagani's initial skill, talent, and ability distribution depends on the level of the Watcher when she is first added to the party, but only if the "Auto Level Companions" option is checked in the difficulty settings.

With auto-levelling enabled, companions will be levelled following a preset point distribution. The player is still free to distribute points into whatever skills, abilities, and talents they desire when a companion levels up, and they may be completely retrained at an inn. Sagani always starts at a minimum of level 2 (the stats above are before she joins the party).

With auto-levelling disabled, companions are not levelled, and the player may choose their own point distribution. Sagani starts at level 1 with the requisite experience to level her up to the current player level or level 2, whichever is higher.
