I really was looking forward to having a herald in my party(and PoE1 companion), but because she was banished by the VTC, she ditched me at the docks.
Fast forward a bit to the Serpent's Palace, and there's a weird sequence in which they're like, "Take Pallegina with you! Oh, she's banished? Nvm, lol."
Anyone import or create this history and find her as a recruitable unit later on? I'm going to start scouring the city, but I wanted to get the weight off my shoulders of knowing whether or not she's lost forever.
