A short Baldur's Gate 3 comic about Kith'rak Voss, Prince Orpheus, and grief.

Words and art by me.

8 pages below the cut.

I have....so much to say about these two, their beginnings, those millenias apart, Voss being the fabled destroyer of Prince Orpheus while beneath it all, being his voice, truth, and living breathing hope.

Then Orpheus' freedom, the hope of their people's freedom and a better future, and beneath all that, what it just means for them.

Two people who were - are we, again?

Thank you for reading. I hope you enjoyed. <3

Orpheus: one of you must become ghaik if your- ally here refuses to aid you.

The emperor: if you side with him then our alliance is at an end.

Tav: that’s fine- *casts sending* Hi can you reach us in the astral?

The emperor: who are you talking t-

Omeluum: *suddenly appears holding Blurgs hand* Greetings. We are here to assist.

Blurg: *refusing to leave his side after the iron throne incident* hello! Please don’t kill my husband kind Githyanki- I just got him back.

Tav: hi guys this is prince Orpheus! Orpheus this is Blurg and Omeluum, he’s a friendly mind flayer!

Orpheus: a friendly ghaik? Interesting, it seems our dilemma has been solved then.

The emperor: …Fuck.

[bg3 heavy spoilers]

Of all the gaslight/gatekeep/girlboss characters in this franchise, the very one that irritates me the most is The Emperor/Balduran. Not because he manipulates you (everyone kinda does in this game, whatever), but because of the way he does it.

He needs the player to trust him? Okay, I could forgive him for appearing in my dreams as my idealistic knight in shining armor (as he puts it himself!!), but he KNEW what he was doing when he chose to wear the greek tunic. HE KNEW!

He was really trying to seduce the player and use it in his favor to manipulate them more easily. He keeps pressuring the player to use the tadpoles and become stronger in order to defeat the Absolute, but he legit keeps the most important part: he wants YOU to become a mind flayer, a fact he only reveals waaaay later. Consent anyone?

And then? He keeps pushing the mind flayer agenda into you, and only reveals stuff about his past when the player finds out. When confronted about keeping you in the dark, he simply says "it's not relevant to our alliance". IDK, man, you killed your best friend who also turned out to be a dragon and the most important defender of Baldur's Gate. Maybe you should have told me that before going through all the trials??? So I wouldn't waste precious time?? Plus I wouldn't have to fight a very angry dragon because of YOUR mistakes?????

At some point, he even flirts with you, and since mind flayers are incapable of having feelings, what was he trying to accomplish if not emotionally manipulating the player even further?

Oh, but it doesn't stop there. He legit keeps Orpheus in the astral plane and gets angry if you suggest to do things differently, even when the very githyanki are fighting nail and tooth to free him despite all their Vlaakith drama.

But the last drop? The last drop??? It's when he tells ME that the fault of failing to defeat the Elderbrain is MINE because I'm WEAK lmao. And then, when the player finally decides to follow their instincts and free Orpheus, he gets SO BITTER that he will get IN YOUR WAY when you're just SO CLOSE to the Netherbrain, even when Orpheus is right at my side, proving him wrong.

The fact is he's just a patronizing, arrogant sob who can't admit he's wrong. And it pisses me off so much the way he needs to be the chosen one because "oh, I'm so special and evolved yaddayaddayadda".

You know which mind flayer I met and trusted him day 1? Omeluum. Omeluum is cool af and never lied to me. He apologized for making my tadpole stronger. He tells the player to leave him to die during the prison break (and I went through all the trouble to save him anyways because I do like him a lot). Omeluum is kind and humble. The Emperor could NEVER and I never felt more pleased when I killed him in the final act.

Rest in Raphael's arms, beatch. Won't be missed 0/10

I need help I need help I need help- FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO FIINISHED BG3- WHO DID YOU TURN ILLITHID??

The choices given to me were Karlach, Tav or Orpheus, and I can’t choose. Should I have eaten the astral tadpole?? Would that help??

I read somewhere in the tags that there is data mined dialogue between Voss and Orpheus saying "I love you" or "my love" or something romantic. and I can't stop thinking how Voss was probably the Lancelot type to prince Orpheus

hear me out

what if, Voss saw everything that Vlaakith did, and all that mattered to him was to some how save his prince, his love, and then conspire against Vlaakith later. and that's why he agreed for Orpheus to be trapped in the prism, tell all gith that he was a traitor and he killed him, so the deal was "don't kill him and I'll keep your secret" to Vlaakith.

but then Vlaakith became a lich and started eating other kith'raks, and thousands of years passed, and Voss lost hope that he could ever free his love, and liberate his people.

when the prism was stolen, hope returned in his heart, and when Lae'zel showed vigor, and tried to defy her queen, he knew he had encountered the right type of ally.

Voss/Orpheus is the mlm story I didn't know I needed.

Voss to Orpheus:

it's been 84.000 years

Spoilers for bg3's ending but it's so fucking funny how much of a drama queen Orpheus is if you make him a mind flayer and convince Lae'zel to not fight an endless war in the astral sea.

"My people will never be free now" bestie there is still a rebel Gith army lead by Voss that is going to fight against Vlaakith you are not going to lose everything just because one person who was a foot soldier until a handful of months ago wont lead your old army

Orpheus: One of us must become a mind flayer to defeat the netherbrain.

Orpheus: "You fornicated with a mind flayer!

Silva: "Great, thanks for announcing that to everyone! Why did we free you again--"

Aelia: "Wait, you and the Emperor...?"

Silva: "It was in a dream! Kind of...look, I don't have to explain--"

Krios: "Hang on, you too?"

Silva: "...wait, what--"

Orpheus: "This is--"

Aelia: "Yeah, yeah, be quiet a second. So, we've all been with the Emperor?"

Silva: "All of us--hey! Hey, Emperor! Get in here!"

The Emperor: "......" *teleports away*

Krios: "Hey, get back here!"

Orpheus: ".......?"

A silly wee comic about the translation of the tir'su between Orpheus' tits <3

I changed the rest of the tir'su on Orpheus' chest to fit my HCs and feelies, though. And the comic is funnier to me if I go with my HC that it was Voss who tattooed all of Orpheus' tatts. He's a silly old man.

Note: the tir'su Voss is reading also spells something out but from his POV :3

END GAME SPOILERS

Okay so Orpheus being able to transform into a mindflayer rather than tav or another willing party member makes zero sense. When did he get infected?

So I have a headcanon about it. I think Orpheus was infected with a Tadpole BEFORE being imprisoned and this was how Vlaakith managed to get the upper hand and imprison him in the first place.

Even though with his odd ability he would be able to suppress the tadpole indefinitely being infected in the first place would have caused some distress at the very least. And could even have been used against him to divide his followers.
