   Summary

   Dumped by a bitter Astarion after she wouldn't help him ascend, Durge is floundering to find a purpose or an identity. Newly minted God of Ambition Gale is ready to help with that, whether or not she wants him to.

   After all, she'd nearly succeeded in bringing Bhaal's cult to world dominance, imagine what she can do as the Chosen of the God of Ambition.
