The Thorms and the Ruin of Reithwin: How Shar's Shadow Curse Came To Be

from Lore Whore: Videogame Deepdives · host Zoe Delahunty-Light

Join my patreon for early ad-free access, and exclusive lore videos!patreon.com/ZoeDelsIn Act 2 of Baldur's Gate 3 Tav explores the ruined Shadow Cursed Lands. At the centre is a destroyed town that used to be known as Reithwin - but how did it get that way? This is how Ketheric Thorm doomed the former Selunite outpost, along with his relatives Gerringothe, Malus, and Thisobald. I explore the themes of Ketheric's character and how they allowed Balthazar to manipulate him, the love story of Dame Aylin and Isobel Thorm, and how Ketheric played his part in the plan of the chosen three's Grand Design. Enjoy.
