    Summary

    Entry 912,
    Our relationship is a ghost. Colorless, pale, withered, old. Sleeping. I think that's why my brother sometimes drinks himself half to death, why he dares the world to take him, why he sinks his teeth into anyone who gets too close. What greater pain is there than to be told that every good thing in your life was never real? That those very memories you held close, the moments that made you believe, were only ever illusions? Our father, the king, made sure I knew of this. I tell myself that I can save him, even when the only thing I have left to do is to watch him spiral, to chase after him, holding onto the thread of hope that screams that I can pull him back to the ledge before it's too late. But ever since the day I discovered the truth, I've been a pitiful shell of who I was. Like I'm not the crown prince, but instead, I'm imitating myself, trying to remember. And my brother, he doesn't even seem to try and yet...he just falls. And I keep reaching, and reaching, and reaching. Maybe this is what love is. No. Love is what I've already lost.
    - Alistair

    Or: A self-destructive prince drowns in grief, a kingdom balances on the verge of collapse, and the inevitable sway of love.

    Summary

    FILE NO. 3001 - A brief history of the Szarr palace and the vampires before Vellioth. Compiled for the Guild, courtesy of the Fetcher.

    “Records recovered from the Szarr palace suggest that Baldur’s Gate has been occupied by a single lineage of vampires since 612 D.R., beginning with a vampire they call Eravask the Forebear. The blood of Eravask the Forebear has been passed down in a single chain of successions that has gone unbroken for nearly seven centuries. Indeed, it seems there’s only room for one true vampire in Baldur’s Gate, for every Baldurian vampire’s reign of power has come to an end at the hands of their progeny—the birth of a new vampire has always been followed by the death of their maker.”

    “You know, you’re not special just because the master likes to fuck you,” Petras said.

    Astarion’s smile was gone in an instant. “What.”

    Summary

    Tav betrayed two immortals when she handed the crown to Gale, ascending into godhood to leave the mistakes of her past behind.

    Astarion, left alone to figure out how to escape Cazador, turns to the only remaining power strong enough to pose a challenge to his vampiric master. To Raphael, the vampire spawn is both a tool and a means to the crown. They're going to have to work together if either of them hopes to see justice served.

    Summary

    The look in the Lord's eyes when he raised them to meet Oleander's was of a man deeply out of his element, and the manner he rose from his seat was absurdly polite, as if greeting an acquaintance of his own station.

    "Pleasure, my Lord," Oleander said, folding his arm at his waist and bowing deeply.

    "Your pleasure?" Bitterbrook murmured, his fingers flexing at his side.

    "And yours, I'm hopeful," Oleander replied serenely, and was rewarded with a slight, surprised smile.
