Thavius Kreeg

Thavius' Betrayal

Thavius was told the exact time when the Companion would cease to protect Elturel. In the weeks leading up to this fateful hour, Thavius urged Grand Duke Ulder Ravengard of Baldur’s Gate to visit Elturel, to help settle some longstanding disputes between the two cities. Facing political pressure at home, Ravengard reluctantly acceded. After greeting Ravengard’s delegation, Thavius Kreeg fled Elturel in secret and watched from a safe distance as the Companion transformed from a radiant sun into a black orb awash with crackling energy. It ripped Elturel from the Material Plane, transporting it and all its inhabitants to Avernus. A few other city folk managed to escape before Elturel disappeared. Where it once stood, only a crater remains. Disguised as a refugee, Thavius Kreeg was one of the first of his people to arrive at Baldur’s Gate with news of Elturel’s “destruction.” He slipped through the city’s gates with the help of his influential friend, Duke Vanthampur, and took refuge in her home.
