Bhaal’s children start a war to destroy Faerun.
A war for dominance and their father’s legacy.
His power, his domain, his throne.
Isn’t commuting a mass slaughter the best way to gain the right to all of this?
And these are only five descendants of the god.
Chapter 8
You rest in Suldanesselar, but the peace doesn’t last long.
Ellesime sends you to the sacred grove to meet the ancient gods.
You listen to a not-so-optimistic prophecy.
After that, you are attacked byIllasera, your sister.
Only of you could survive this.
When the offspring of Bhaal falls lifeless, some force pulls you to a familiar place.
A place that looks like hell.
It turns out to bePocketPlane, Bhaal’s private chamber.
It’s a lovely place.
But this will take a lot of time.
To transfer to Saradush, you must complete the first of several trials waiting in the Plane.
You have to face a potential revenge that could fall on you at some point.
She tries to get an audience withGromnirIl-Khan.His soldiers treat you as a hostile you have to fight them.
The poor guys didn’t stand a chance.
Melissana asks you to reach Gromnir.
You see the leader arresting Melissana.
Gromnir doesn’t trust you, he thinks you’ve come to kill him.
The host is clearly insane.
The only thing you’re able to do is to fight him.
After that, Melissana shows up.
He hid her heart in the same place.
Good news: you now know your objective.
Bad news: it is hidden under a volcano.
Around which the fire giants built a fortress.
Of course you’re going there.
You sneak in or break through a squad of giants and then deal with this minor heart problem.
you oughta face Nyalee, but in the end you achieve your goal.
Then you go back to Saradush, go to battle with the besiegers, and finally face Yaga-Shura.
No negotiation, no mercy.
The battle was a carnage.
It turns out that most of Bhaal’s followers died in the siege.
To make matters worse, Yaga-Shura did not act alone; he has two more allies.
Luckily, Melissana knows someone you could count on.
To get help, you go toAmkethran.
Chapter 9
Amkethran is a sandy settlement built around a monastery.
He points out the location of Bhaal’s two children, who worked with Yaga-Shura.
He seems to have no preconceptions or even an understanding of your situation.
… especially since you will soon face two incredibly challenging enemies.
It will be brutal and bloody.
After all, it’s a fight with your siblings.
Only one of you could survive.
Your first objective is the enclave ofSendai, a Dark Elf.
You’re in for a tough battle with your deceptive “sister”.
When she dies, you’re back in the Pocket Plane.
This time Solar is asking you one of the harder questions about the future.
What is your answer?
The next target isAbazigal, a dragon.
It’s a living fortress you’ll be licking your wounds long after this battle.
There is only one solution here, fight or die.
After defeating your “brother,” you end up in your infernal hideout.
Yes, because the fifth child is Balthazar.
You’re going back to Amkethram.
You stand before Balthazar.
The idea isn’t the stupidest, but you’re finding his plan somewhat problematic.
It assumes that you would have to die.
An unpleasant option and the monk doesn’t want to hear any explanations.
Time for a deadly battle.
The brother, perhaps one of the few potentially righteous, dies.
You move to the Pocket Plane for the last time.
There Solar lets you confront Melissana.
Your father should choose his co-workers more wisely.
With that knowledge, you are heading for the final showdown.
The souls and power of Bhaal’s children gather in this place.
When you finally defeat her, Solar shows up and explains that you actually have only two options.
You will either accept Bhaal’s essence or reject it and hide from the rest of the world.
What will you become?
How will you change the fate of the Forgotten Realms?
Will you do it as a god or mortal?
You’ve finally made your decision…
And the saga is over.
It takes place just before the events ofBG3, one hundred years afterBaldur’s Gate 2.
It includes a guide to the eponymous city with descriptions of important characters, neighborhoods, and factions.
So there is a good chance that we will see some familiar faces in the game.
