Vellioth: Difference between revisions
(Removed assumptions, theories, interpretations and generalizations about BG3 vampires, which I believe aren't fit for a wiki page. I believe some of the info stated could be reworked so it can be shown on the wiki (ex. "Vellioth laughed as Cazador killed him"), but not presented as conjectures.) |
