    Summary

    After the events of Neverwinter, Szass Tam retaliates against West Faerun.

    Surviving is not without cost. Edgin strikes a deal (no devils were involved), becomes a Voice of the people, builds a family, falls in love, learns to master himself (sort of), helps others learn to master themselves (also sort of), and reveals secrets he'd almost forgotten he had.

    Xenk, meanwhile, would just like to help, and would kindly appreciate Edgin cooperating for once.

    Summary

    (part of a series but is a stand alone work - that's just to keep everything together)

    Following Elorin the kind-hearted drow sorcerer through the events of Baldur's Gate 3 as he collects some extra companions. He's desperately trying to leave his past behind him, but it's hard when he's trying to save everyone - especially a deep gnome who knows the drow all too well, a drider he has far too much in common with, and a worshipper of pain he just can't get out of his head.

    Summary

    How does one destroy a legend?

    Well, Ed figures, the same way one gets created: layer by layer, piece by piece.

    Xenk may not agree that he's a legend, but someone's putting a lot of effort in unraveling him like one. While Ed can't believe he's the one best in position to try to do something about it, someone's got to help. Xenk is stubborn enough that Ed knows if he lets Xenk out of his damn sight, he's going to try to handle this all on his own.

    And Xenk handling it on his own had Ed finding him collapsed in a back-alley gutter, stripped of his armor, and bleeding to death.

    Summary

    Xenk is a perfect paladin, and less perfect man. When he swore his oath, he took five vows - honesty, courage, compassion, duty, honour - but there is no oath stronger than the heart's own, no vow deeper than the soul. Even if he struggles to speak of it to Edgin, the source of all his yearning.
