Boo Got Hurt In Battle And Jaheira Fixed Him Up, Boo Is Not Please To Say The Least.

AU/OC moment (where J and k raised the bhaalspawn instead of Gorion)

I just really wanted to draw jaheira in that meme and then I added a Khalid with Evune to bring it all together

I finished it!

YIPPEE!!

Look upon them

May or may not be cooking something up

Something I think about is Khalid’s mother

Because in the first game in Khalid’s background she is not mentioned at all, and in siege of dragonspear she is mentioned as ‘not thinking much of him’ but to a lesser extent than his father did who we all agree was a POS

1. What was she like?

like her life probably sucked a lot.

She was an elven concubine in a country that is pretty much devoid of any other elves, and so she was seen as exotic, which is probably why Khalid‘s father had her as a concubine in the first place.

She would always be below his actual wife and I won’t get into all of the horrible things that could’ve happened to her prior or during this time

And then on top of everything, she has a illegitimate kid with the dude!

I doubt Khalid’s father or his wife (mother of Khalid’s half brothers) was particularly interested in raising him, so it was probably all on her.

So now on top of her life already probably sucking, she has this kid in a world that is guaranteed to be hostile towards him because he is considered lower by default.

There’s no way she could protect him from that even if she did try.

Maybe there was a combination of resentment of having another thing on her plate to take care of but also guilt about having this kid that she feels is guaranteed to have a miserable life

2. Was their relationship purely indifference and neglect or was there some love?

Is it possible that she walled herself off from him so that when he was inevitably hurt it didn’t hurt her as much? Like self protection so she only had to feel her own hurt

Were there good moments? Where she would protect him or comfort him in ways she felt she could?

Maybe she held some hope that because his father was of the merchant class Khalid would get further than she could only to have those hopes crushed within her lifetime

3. How does Khalid feel about her?

Maybe he is a bit overly forgiving of her actions because of he knows her circumstances (Which probably annoys Jaheira lol)

Maybe there’s some resentment for not being the mother he needed but he feels guilty about having those feelings

Maybe she just fades into the background of his childhood

There’s so many possibilities because we know nothing about her so we get to fill in the blanks!

Angsty and angry jaheira in BG2. Going through it after losing Khalid (and NOT in the way BioWare thought she should SIDEYING THEM FOREVER)

The stream is 2 and a half hours… I’ll do it for you Tracy!

So far: hard agree with Jen if you kill jaheira why do you hate women?

Not that one person in chat when everyone is talking about how cute Khalid is (facts) saying “Irenicus didn’t think he was so cute”

I’m curious, does anyone have a hc about which god took Khalid’s soul after he died?

My take is Silvanus but if anyone has a different idea I’m interested

I hc Khalid’s patron was ilmater when he was younger and still in Calimshan but shifted to silvanus more when he met jaheira

For anyone who doesn’t know about the afterlife in the forgotten realms:

Afterlife in the forgotten realms is kinda vague especially in later editions but my understanding of it is after someone dies they go to the fugue plane and either

a) get picked up by an agent of the deity they were associated with (if they didn’t do something in life that goes against that gods doctrine which makes the god not want them

b) make a deal with devils and go to the hells as a lemure or something else if that’s part of the deal

c) go to the city of judgment. In 3e there are the faithless and the false. The faithless are those who don’t have faith and they become the wall until they get eaten by mold. The false are those who committed some kind of infraction against their patron that they didn’t want them. They become members of the city and are punished according to whatever they did.

I believe that the faithless has changed since then because I’m pretty sure the wall doesn’t exist anymore and faithless wander the fugue plane, in Bg3 withers says the same thing so in the Baldurs gate universe we can say the wall doesn’t exist. The sword coast adventuring guide used to mention the wall but according to the wiki this mention was removed in 2020 so it’s very vague (side note bring back the detailed campaign settings I love them I want the lore) i think the new lore is either the gods will take people who are worthy even if they weren’t necessarily a worshiper or that they still go to the city but kelemvor judges them based on their life and they chill in the city. I know the gods got mad at kelemvor because he was applying mortal morals to his job (since he was mortal) which is when he became more neutral

And I’m realizing I have gone completely off topic lmao I really like lore

“Isn’t it our duty to burn on if we can? To fight for as long as we are able? Perhaps you were not the savior you seemed. I had learned better than to think of life as some simple tale, after all; there is no guarantee of happy endings or true heroes. I believe that still. But when I look on all we have achieved since, I wonder. Perhaps it is not heroes we need—only people who are willing to try. I do not know what manner of story that makes. But I do know that, without an ending, it would be no story at all.”
