Pain moved through Moghuulās skull like an early morning wake, rippling from frontal to occipital lobe and back again. This was no mere migraine. His brain felt like it had been pressed for its juices, pulverized into a pulp, and piped back into its case through the brand-new burrow hole of his right eye. He was alive. The pain meant he had survived. But how? The last thing he could remember was falling through purple light.
Moghuulās eyes opened slowly, squinting in the late morning sun. It blazed down on him in a gentle blanket of warmth accompanied by soft gusts of wind and carried with it the acrid stench of burning nautiloid fleshāa salty, briny cephaloid stench coupled with smoke and tiny flecks of black ash. High above, clouds drifted unbothered through the bright blue sky, high above the jagged broken scaffold that reached out overhead like the broken rib cage in a dragonās graveyard. It was an astonishingly beautiful day.

Summary:
This piece will include spoilers and events featured in Baldurās Gate III. If you have not played it GO PLAY IT NOW.
Moghuul is The Dark Urge. A non-canonical interpretation of them anyways. Moghuul has awoken with no memories, an awful headache, and a brand new cranial companion. He must navigate morality, empathy, and the complexities of love and devotion in order to live long enough to rid himself of the ticking time bomb in his skullā¦and perhaps save a few of the tag alongs heās collected.
Will he fall to depravity and loose his newfound friends? Will he become a puppet of manipulation? Will he learn what it means to genuinely care for someone or will he let the promise of redemption be sacrificed on the altar of fatherly acceptance?
Thisā¦whatever it is will feature random events in Moghuulās journey. Before, during, and after the game. Whatever comes to mind.
