3 parts Ongoing MatureAfter the fall of the Netherbrain, Neria had fled from Baldur's Gate, leaving behind the chaos of the city and her turbulent relationship with Astarion. The man she once loved had become a shadow of himself, twisted by the Ritual of Profound Ascension into a cruel, power-hungry figure she could no longer recognize. For fifty years, she lived in solitude, seeking peace in a life far removed from the horrors of her past. But just as she's begun to believe she's escaped him for good, Astarion reappeared without warning, lounging in her humble home as if the decades apart were mere days. He'd come to take her back to Baldur's Gate, where old wounds and dark secrets awaited.
