Percival: What sweet do you want?

Garreth: My favorite!

Percival: Sugar quills?

Garreth: My sweetheart <3

Percival: I hate you

Garreth: No you dont!

Not that anyone cares but this is about deciding to make Idris (Tav) and Rolan exes

When you're in the middle of doing something completely mundane and the most perfect, painful plot thread comes into your head

Meet My Tavs: Idris Baines

Idris is a case where the lore does what I say it does and timelines ware whatever is most convenient for me, for instance the fact that they exist in the same universe as one of my Durges, Kieran. So!

Idris is a Sorcerer, as in they are born with a capacity fir magic but they get into bardic magic really early, so they assume it's just the bardic magic. Essentially that inate magic just makes them an insanely powerful bard.

Idris is born in Eltûrel to their two moms (one of whom is technically their step mom because them and their brother are children born of a deal made by their mama and Mephistopheles). They also have an older brother Eryx who's surprisingly plot relevant.

But when Eltûrel is dragged to and back from Avernus Idris is just a kid and was separated from their family, leaving them to wander the world in search of them. They pick up more bardic talents on the way for survival.

They grow up on the streets of Faerûn, hopping from village to city to village to city, hoping to find any sign of their family or to make a big enough impression as a Bard that they start making enough money to fund a much better search.

On the way they run into the very same group of refugees they find in Act 1, and stick with the refugees for a while, even dating Rolan. But they find a lead on their parents and disappear to follow it, leaving them all behind.

The lead takes them weeks to follow but eventually leads to Baldur's Gate. While there they manage to secure a gig that could be their big break, but on the way they're snatched by the Nautaloid.

The last detail that I won't expand upon here but I feel the need to mention: The Emperor takes on the appearance of Eryx.

These two screenshots together literally haunts me
