Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Abdel Adrian‘s legacy and descendants

I read the books and they sucked lol. Thing is Abdel is the cannon character in BG1/2. Like Tav (so far it seems) is the default name so is Abdels in those games. Yes the book, game, and lore do not match up. I remember WOTC wasn’t even going to let the BG events even be cannon in the first place. Yet the fans pushed them to it.

My head cannon (and possibly true cannon if Larian plays it right), is that Gorion’s ward isn’t the same as Abdel. Gorions ward actually did exist but gave up the Bhaal taint in TOB and lived/lives happily ever after. Abdel and Vekang were the last two and they fought and one lost (the adventure never tells who lost).

With that, I still think BG3 will have links to Abdel.
