Viconia's | Viconia's state in ''Baldur's Gate 3'' is partially reflective of her default ending in ''Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal'', wherein she found a Sharite cult in Waterdeep. However differences are found: | ||
In the [https://baldursgate.fandom.com/wiki/Viconia_DeVir#Epilogues original epilogue] Viconia killed all cult members due to one's betrayal, shrugging off the admonishment of her goddess, which mirrors her early rebellious actions against {{FRWiki|Lolth}}. She then wandered the Realms and stopped several crises with the help of {{FRWiki|Drizzt Do'Urden}}, including saving the elven city of Suldanessalar, for which she received honour from {{FRWiki|Queen Ellesime}}. Her fate following above events was unknown. | |||
In Viconia's | In ''Baldur's Gate 3'', Viconia's motive behind the Waterdeep slaughter was changed to obeying Shar's order, and she remained obedient to her goddess ever since. She has performed Shar's tasks faithfully, such as abducting children and torturing their relatives, similar to what Lolth did to her beloved brother, which has caused her trauma in the previous games. | ||
According to Larian, this version of Viconia follows the {{FRWiki|Wizards of the Coast}} canon{{verify}}, with her background and personality changed to integrate into the narrative of ''Baldur's Gate 3''. | |||
