Children of Bhaal

16 January 2006 - 07:53 AM

Author's note:

This is my version of the Bhaalspawn-Saga. I had the idea while reading Jashan?s version, which tells the story from a female point of view and includes the Imoen romance. My version will include it too, but it is from a male and female perspective and first person.

As you will notice, there are two plots, one being the story of BG II + ToB and the other one taking place after the events of ToB (although the parts taking place in ToB haven't been written yet, since Lord Mirrabbo hasn't finished the ToB-Imoen-Mod yet).

Even in the part which tells the original story you will notice many differences. I haven?t simply copied all dialogues and all events. Some events are missing, some I have changed and others are completely my invention.

This story was not written for children. Although I don?t wish to generalize. There are children who are frighteningly mature and adults who behave really childish. But you get the picture, I guess. There is violence (a lot of it and it is very graphic), swearing (all the time to the point it becomes a regular sight; although it's my personal opinion that swearing is part of every sane person's everyday life and nothing special; but alas, I do not rule the world and thus not my opinion counts), sexuality, philosophical thoughts, ethical problems.

I made this story and the characters even more complex than they already are. You will get deep insight into their thoughts and feelings, especially the ones of the main character and Imoen. And that is the main reason, in my opinion, why this is only for mature or even adult people. I intend to make you think. If not, then I have failed.

Another warning before you begin reading: During this story I did (and will continue to do) many things, which hardcore fans of the Forgotten Realms might kill me for. I turn their whole universe upside down. I destroy magic (and mages), destroy the pantheon of gods and some other things. The reasons for this are philosophical in nature, the story's purpose is to deal with certain philosophical questions and bring people to reflect upon them. If you do not wish to see everything fantastic/magical you liked in the games to be destroyed, do not continue to read. If you, on the other hand, are interested in philosophical questions and mature thoughts, please feel to read and perhaps later even discuss those very questions with me. I like discussions, even love them, and am open for critical thoughts.
