    Summary

    In the wake of a crashed mindflayer ship, Astarion picks himself up in the wilderness outside Baldur's Gate, unhurt and, for the first time in two centuries, free. There is a party of tadpoled adventurers, a sympathetic monster hunter, and uncontrollable flashbacks of his old life standing in his way. There is an opportunity, at last, for a new life.

    Or: An Act 1 retelling in which Shadowheart's Turn Undead worked on Astarion.
