Summary
It's over. Astarion won. The hundredth year anniversary of his ascension was rapidly approaching and life had turned out better than Astarion could have ever dreamed of. A devoted wife, a beautiful son, and all the political power in Baldur's Gate he could hold in his sunkissed hands. Astarion was at peace after centuries of torment.
But in the shadow of the Vampire Ascendant lurked a figure from his past, the man who wore his face and shared his name. A shadow that could not bear the light and would forever pollute his mind. His peace was shattered by a mysterious letter, addressed to him by name.
To the Lord of the Crimson Palace, Astarion Ancunín,
Before you toss this letter into the bin or fireplace — I know where your brother is. If you don’t address this letter, I can assure you that you will never see him again.The forces hunting us are of a far greater magnitude than what is comprehensible to the physical mind. This entity will cut my family down and will not cease until yours is felled as well. It is near and the only solace we have is fleeing the coast — but it will find us. It will find you. We have one year.
Help us, Star.
