    Summary

    After the fight for the Gate, everyone went their own ways. Orpheus spearheads the rebellion, but the strain of it is taking a heavy toll on his mind. So it was decided: he shall take a sabbatical away from the war.

    Orpheus plans to spend this forced vacation with Lae'zel, who oversees a hidden crèche on the Sword Coast. Instead, as if led by fate, he ends up in Baldur's Gate, in the house of a very familiar ghaik.

    Orpheus has few friends in this life, but he might just find one in the strangest of places.

    Summary

    The Netherbrain rules, a world turned to insanity. Those who aren’t enthralled either fight or flee every waking moment of their existence or live in the few remaining illithid colonies, prey and predator forced together by the danger the Netherbrain poses to both. It’s a bleak existence, but better to be prized, jealously guarded cattle than enthralled from cradle to grave.
    This is the world the dragon Ansur reincarnates into, the memories of his old life nothing more than a source of bitter amusement, until a strange god comes to him with an offer: go back. Set things right. Keep his memories of the future close to his heart and change things, before it’s too late.

    Ansur looks between the Emperor and the honor guard, all of them bowled over by his roar and frozen in fear when they realize there’s a dragon in the Astral Prism. “I am not going to pick a side,” he says and thinks of his home, of a gentle dome of twinkling stars projected to hide a broken sky, of the bustling market by the brine lake where raiders come to trade their hard-earned spoils from the tombs of dead gods and skeletons of ruined cities. “There is too much at stake. We stand united, or we don’t stand at all.”
