   Summary

   Tav has forgotten more lifetimes than he remembers.

   OR: The excessively dramatic, self-indulgent semi-meta retelling of BG3, with a half-elf Tav who doesn’t actually know who he is anymore. After centuries of looping, what he does know are the creatures he has loved and those he has destroyed - not always mutually exclusive - and that he's very, very tired.
