The Chaos Bringer: Act I (Where Darkness Hides)

It's a duel. A duel between sass and sarcasm. Between down-to-earth viewpoints and the integration of the darkness within each of us. A story exploring what it means to deal with your inner demons while the world is burning down around you. The journey to find yourself, and to find others, when your past refuses to be laid to rest and the true monsters are the ones that reside inside your head.
  A Baldur's Gate fanfic written in the spirit of the tongue-in-cheek Dungeons and Dragons storytelling style. It is based on the events of Baldur's Gate 3 and includes all companions, a female Tav and an original female character (Nyx). The fanfic follows the major story plot and honours the essence of BG3 and its characters, but it is not a carbon copy of events/dialogue in the game. This is to create interest and keep me sane as I weave in new/alternative stories/dialogues and integrate the backstory and journey of my OC. The fanfic sets out to celebrate BG3 for what it is, a story of companionship and overcoming seemingly impossible challenges both external and internal. It follows Nyx, as she travels with Tav and the gang while they get to know one another, the threat they face and experience each other's stories along the way. It has mature and dark components in line with the original game, but the main focus remains the story, the relationships between the characters and how they develop.
