POST ALI WAR LORE. NEOW!!
i want deets on her joining a losing side ANNND a rebellion 👀👀👀 SHARE WITH THE CLASSSSS
Some of this technically happens to her right before BG3!! (considering Durge was on the Absolute's side of the "war" before getting amnesia - though in Ali's case it was something she was physically possessed into against her will, it still counts!)
But aside from that, she's fought in MULTIPLE wars and rebellions before that point (both on the "winning" and "losing" side, though I hesitate to say that anyone really "won" when it comes to some of these situations). There was a civil war in Neverwinter, an Eilistraean rebellion WITHIN a war in the Underdark that extended to Waterdeep during the Silence of Lolth, etc (both happening during NWN).
She was also a Harper during the Wailing Years, and as far as I know there's nothing that goes too deeply into detail about how the Spellplague wiped out the Harpers, but you can guess that caused a lot of problems for them just based on the Spellplague did to Toril as a whole (and Aebir).
You can imagine not being able to use magic - even to heal or resurrect people - would make a lot of conflicts much bloodier in Faerûn.
