Baldur's Gate 3: My heart's An Empty Vase Looking For Roses

Ship: Karlach + non-ascendant Astarion

based on Descent into Avernus

free talk at the end

中文版

I wrote then canceled two comics after wrapping up Byzantine Generals. For a while I thought I lost my comic making ability forever, until BG3 stormed into my life.

Cover lyrics were written by Tender Henk from Singing Lute inn, on a sheet of paper on the desk in the room where Karlach's romance scene takes place. It suits her so well yet she calls him the worst guy she ever met LOL can't blame her bc what in the hells is Jableeda?

NGL I played Karlach in my first BG3 playthrough because her engine reminded me of the thirium pump of a DBH android. Romancing Astarion with her felt like Romancing Kamski with an android to me in the first place LMAO some pretty ancient headcanon like little boy Elijah being bullied in school built a buff RT600 Chloe to be his bodyguard blablabla

Then she and Astarion became my OTP and I played both of them to romance each other, tried every possibility i could think of.

So this comic is just a small talk about a big plan between Karlach and spawn Astarion after the ending of the game. Based on Descent into Avernus. I'm no DnD player so apologize in advance in case of any mistakes. OOC belongs to me.

art is so haaaaard T_T i have been working on this painting for so long. i have lost all perspective and i have no idea whether or not it looks good…

anyway here’s Karlach in Avernus with (redesigned!) Zariel looming ominously in the distance (i have no idea how tall she is so i have decided to make her a kaiju)

Hellish Landscape: Art in the Szarr Palace

The other day my friend and I were running through the Szarr palace on multi-player, and found this elaborate painting which neither of us had ever noticed before. It is in the cursed guest room where you can find the body of Victoria, on the wall directly to the right of the door as you walk through.

If you use Alt or hover your mouse over the painting, it reveals that it is titled Hellish Landscape. And that title could not be more accurate, because what it is depicting is the Descent into Avernus.

The winged figure at the top is none other than Zariel, recognizable by the flail she has in place of one hand. Behind her, that glowing circle is the Companion, the second sun that burned above Elturel for 50 years, before it turned into a portal that tore the city through into Avernus. Elturel itself can be seen below both the Companion and Zariel.

What is particularly interesting, in in-universe terms, is how quickly this painting was made, relative to Elturel's fall.

Another question it raises, based on the incredible detail of it all: who made this painting, what was their connection to Elturel or the Hells, and how did it come to be occupying a sole guest room in Szarr Palace?

Note: The lighting in Szarr palace is truly abysmal, so I took the painting to Sorcerous Sundries for a clearer reference. Here it is in its original position.

ETA: This painting can also be found in the secret vault behind the inert gem in the House of Hope.

Do you think Doni is nonverbal because he's autistic?

This is the second Doni ask I've received. Are you the same anon? I'm working on the other one, by the way. 😁

He certainly could be autistic, but personally I think he's traumatised. Zevlor and the other tieflings mention they're refugees and survivors from Elturel. Without going too in-depth, Elturel was a major city in the Western Heartlands of West Faerûn. Zariel, Archdutchess of Avernus, pulled the whole city into the hells, specifically into the River Styx. If Doni witnessed it while escaping, he would've seen something like this:

Terrifying. The city was sucked through a black hole, leaving nothing but a crater behind, and all the survivors were turned into devils to serve in the Blood War. This easily could have caused Doni's mustism, and if that is the case, I hope his voice recovers. It also explains why he put letters in rivers and addressed them to the Styx, hoping they would reach his father.

If anything, I'd argue he has hyperlexia, which is often (though not always) part of the autism spectrum. His writing is impeccable, especially in comparison to some of the other letters you can find. Mirkon's letter, for example, is typical for a boy his age; full of errors and small words. Though I personally think Doni's mutism is the result of trauma, he could very well be autistic, too.

I know that trading the Crown of Karsus to Raphael is considered one of the "bad" endings, but as I read through the Descent Into Avernus D&D module (which immediately precedes the events of BG3), I keep finding myself thinking "holy shit but does Avernus need some regime change."

Like yeah Raphael is bad but Zariel is SO COMPLETELY TERRIBLE that replacing her with pretty much anybody would most likely be an improvement.

Where's the CIA when you need them, lol.

*Zariel stepping out of her castle*

Astarion: "Oh my gods, that's Drizzt Do'Urden!"

Minsc: "Oh my gods, it's The Nameless One!"

Zariel, ignoring Minsc and Astarion and focuses her attention on Karlach: "Karlach Cliffgate..."

Crawls out from under a rock to drop some art.

We are finally getting close to the end of our Descent Into Avernus campaign that we were supposed to finish before BG3 came out. Haha oops. The bane of all ttrpg campaigns: scheduling.

Anyways! Spoilers for DiA under cut:

My Divine Soul Sorcerer Delphi was chosen by the Sword of Zariel to wield it. From a changeling priestess of Ilmater to now a celestial with eyes that are pools of silver and feathered wings.

[Laughs nervously] I'm in danger.

We won't be able to play again until after May. So its going to be a while until we know how this is going to end.

I didn’t exactly think Hell would be a walk in the park but Elturel really went through some shit didn’t it

Some quotes:

"Anchored by the chains of Avernus, the city of Elturel is doomed to drown in the River Styx unless someone finds a way to save it." "The warlords of Avernus conquor the Hellish wastelands in Infernal war machines powered by souls" "The onyx steps descend into the catacombs containing the remains of Hellriders who died fighting at Zariel's side. Their restless spirits yearn for peace yet are doomed to haunt this place until once more called to arms. Dozens of dead knights kneel before the monoliths, their foreheads resting on the pommels of their swords. The knights' armor serves as caskets for their bones, yet their corpses stay upright as though in prayer. Each knight wears the faded regalia of Elturel."
