Harmothoe is a unique member of the Free Traders. She can be found leading a caravan, which can trade goods with the player. She can be found in either Heng or Trader's Edge.
Her caravan includes 2 Pack Beasts and 8 to 10 Caravan Guards.
She is warmly receptive to female characters, and more curt and rude to males. She outright refuses to deal with Skeletons and may trigger combat with any skeletons who speak to her.
Bard sings a song about her, which alleges she was originally a slave in Rebirth that escaped by killing the guards, including a High Paladin that raped her.
If the player is allied with the Holy Nation, she will be reluctant to trade with you.
If she is killed, a Caravan Trader Boss (Free Traders) will replace her position.
They wear [Shoddy] armour (5% chance of [Standard]) and have weapons manufactured by Skeleton Smiths.

Ballad of Harmothoe[]
"Harmothoe, Harmothoe, she lived a live of anguish!
For chained in Rebirth she was condemned to languish,
'Til one day she'd been ravished by the high paladin most vile!
And she swore her dark vengeance with a murderous smile...
She stashed a long nail, forged to a blade...
And one by one the guards were slayed...
Now the high paladin lies dead, a nail in the eyeball...
With it the name Harmothoe, in blood on the high wall!"
