Summary
Father Thynerias, a monk of the Preservers of the Ordered Way, enjoyed his life up until that damned Nautiloid. He had his books, his work, a group of novices under his care. His pursuit of knowledge fueled him, and he could see life no other way.
Until he met the famed Blade of Frontiers, and realized that life is not all books and knowledge.
(Or: Five times a monk considered giving up his vows of chastity, and the one time he did).

Summary
The fate of Baldur's Gate was forced into the hands of an unwilling monk, who through the journey found love in a man who was once only myth to him, and now his life is nothing like he hoped it would be.
Thynerias Aranthor Varcona, Father Tav, hasn't decided if that's a good thing yet-- but he doesn't have much time to do so. The clock is ticking down to the Absolute's takeover of Baldur's Gate, and Thynerias really just wants to sleep in a bed and have someone else make the decisions for once.
[Covering End of Act 2 to post-canon, with some canon divergence]
Written for Wyllmancer week, August 2024!
