As far as I can tell, Baldur's Gate was recognized as a city by around 450 DR, while BG3 takes place around 1500 DR. When Balduran was turned or how long he lived is hard to say, but even if he lived 500 years as a human before he was turned, that'd still be 500 years ago. So if there is a 200 year limit, Balduran can't be resurrected.
Balduran didn't vanish in the mid-1000 but in the mid -1000, more than 2000 years ago.
So definately outside if true ressurection range.
Which makes the Emperor "being" Balduran completely laughable as a mind flayer would be dead by old age ten times over. So Larian just decided mind flayers are immortal.Edit: Apparently the founding date of baldurs gate was retconned to some point in the 1000s.
In the previous games BG was 300 years old and they played in the 1300s
And apparently Larian retconned Balduran into an elf so that they can make their shitty "plot twist"?
So depending on when Balduran turned true ressurecting him might be possible.
Is there any indication when Ansur was last seen? I can't believe that no one would notice the death of Ansur for centuries or that he would soend centuries to find a cure for Balduran.
But this is Larian we are talking about and they do not care for consistency.
