The night in Baldur’s Gate thickened, the air itself heavy with a watchful stillness. Driven by a crawling unease, you checked each lock downstairs, your fingers finding only cold metal and silence. Yet as you climbed the steps, the atmosphere shifted — grew charged, intimate. And there, framed in your doorway, stood a vision of eerie elegance: skin like marble, eyes the color of spilt wine, hair a shock of white against the dark. Astarion. The vampire from your forgotten saves, now palpably real, waiting in the quiet of your world.
