... reading Mordenkainen Tome of Foes, where the latest githyanki lore is told, I'm glad to see Larian just follows the lore given by someone else without trying to twist it for any reason...
I personally feel that there's a lot of vanilla D&D lore that could use some twisting.
My biggest misgiving about BG:3s story was how much they've said it ties in to Descent into Avernus which was a bit underwhelming.
I'd hate to derail this theme and thread, so here is my thoughts, concerning what you've said:
https://forums.larian.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=729817#Post729817We know the Tieflings are from Elturel and Zevlor is a Hellrider,
they went into Avernus during the Descent (if you fail a history check they'll tell you about it) actually I don't know that, they could have been outside the city when it's taken I don't remember and are now back
(or are going to BG after Elturel was taken),
presumably after the events of the module, we also know that recently Duke Ravenguard was kidnapped by Absolute Drow, a conspicuously familiar event. If these things are the beginnings of a total rewrite of Descent into Avernus, more power to them.
I've never run Descent but I'm an avid reader of thealexandrian blog so I'm pretty familiar with the goings on. I recommend his
remix for anyone who likes well thought out worldbuilding and design philosophy.
