Summary
“You’re already in my head constantly—what would be different?”
“Everything.”After decades spent in the solitude of his library, studying the glamour and excitement of legends like Minsc of Rashemen and Balduran, Thyneron has envied the great heroes of Faerûn as much as he looked up to them. He always longed for adventure and thrill—but was entirely unprepared to find himself locked in a strange pod inside of an even stranger nautiloid, at the onset of an adventure he never asked for.
On he and his companion’s journey to return home to Baldur’s Gate and stop the tyranny of the Absolute, Thyneron finds that the illithid tadpole he’s been infected with has changed him—he’s bolder, braver, stronger… harder, and colder. The tadpole has bettered him, but no power comes without cost.
This is the story of Baldur’s Gate III, told through the eyes of a lonely and depressed patriar who only wants to make it home safely to see his family again, through nearly any means necessary. Much creative leeway has been taken with the game’s events, so hopefully you will enjoy this journey alongside Thyneron, Gale, Lae’zel, and Astarion, as they each chase a cure for the infection that looms over them.
