While i absolutely appreciate the conversation around canon and the Forgotten Realms i am specifically referring to the fact that BG 3 is canonically set in the BG1-2 world and timeline. It is not a spiritual successor it is a direct successor, they took great pains to call this out and i think from what we have seen to date they have honored their word on this mostly and have done a good job. Like i said they should explain the delta, they do a good job of tiebacks and explanations of things between bg 1 and bg 2, but to me this is a potential miss, of course we haven't met Jaheira yet so she may speak to it but i hope they account for the potential discrepancy in some way.
I mean, did you read the novelization? Jaheira dies.
"When Angelo asked for Sarevok's thoughts or resentment on this new information, Sarevok replied with magic spells instead of words, and Jaheira behind Abdel is his target. After Sarevok escaped, Abdel didn't go after him, he screamed in grief while looking into Jaheira's lifeless eyes even though Angelo yelled at Abdel to go get a priest to heal her."
