====The Blade of Avernus==== | ==== The Blade of Avernus==== | ||
If Wyll rejected the possibility of becoming a duke of Baldur's Gate, he will take the mantle of ''"the Blade of Avernus"'' and vow to hunt devils in their own homeland. By the time he is summoned by [[Withers]] for his gathering six months after the events of the game, Wyll has become a seasoned slayer of fiends, boasting about his many hunts. With a contract broken, he will also mention that he's working with a diabolist from Calimshan to use his sending stone eye to track Mizora, setting his sights on his former patron. If still bound to his patron, he mentions that she's been surprisingly hands-off, sending him only after demons and devils as per their agreement. If Karlach was convinced to return to Avernus with Wyll, they join efforts together to find a cure for her mechanical time, and if both single, eventually begin a relationship.{{ref|[[Epilogue]], ambient line spoken by Karlach during Withers' gathering when both she and Wyll ended up in Avernus by the end of the game.<br>''"I guess Avernus isn't too bad if you're with the one you love..."''}} | If Wyll rejected the possibility of becoming a duke of Baldur's Gate, he will take the mantle of ''"the Blade of Avernus"'' and vow to hunt devils in their own homeland.

Should Wyll become Grand Duke of Baldur's Gate, he oversees the reconstruction of the city, parleying with influential nobles for aid and tightening bonds with the other cities of the [[Sword Coast]]. If Ulder Ravengard lives, Wyll works with him in order to marshal the forces for peace and renewal. The city's gates are opened to all refugees that need sanctuary and the Council of Four is reformed, with an invitation to become Grand Duke extended by Wyll to a romanced player. If Wyll never broke his contract with Mizora, she remains involved in his life, enjoying the political intrigue in her human guise, though she's been keeping Wyll on a long leash for reasons known only to her. | Should Wyll become Grand Duke of Baldur's Gate, he oversees the reconstruction of the city, parleying with influential nobles for aid and tightening bonds with the other cities of the [[Sword Coast]].
