Nelly was mentioned briefly in The Tournament at Gorlan as a kitchen maid in Castle Gorlan. She brought King Oswald his food, and the drug that Morgarath ordered him to be kept under, daily while he was being kept prisoner, striking up a friendship with the monarch. She is described as a kind and cheerful girl, and was totally ignorant of the plan to drug the king, believing the drug given to her by the Kitchenmaster was a tonic. She also met and befriended Pritchard while he was posing was a starving beggar. It is likely she took up residence in either Redmont Fief or Keramon Fief following Gorlan's disbandment.
