==== Changes to Viconia's canon ==== | |||
{{hatnote|This section discusses non-cannon events. For more details of the original Viconia in the classic Baldur's Gate games, see [https://baldursgate.fandom.com/wiki/Viconia_DeVir Viconia DeVir] on [https://baldursgate.fandom.com/wiki/ Baldur's Gate Wiki]}} | |||
Viconia's character and backstory has some canonical differences from the the classic ''Baldur's Gate'' 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 Baldurs Gate 3. | |||
Viconia's character in ''Baldur's Gate 3'' is partially reflective of her [https://baldursgate.fandom.com/wiki/Viconia_DeVir#Epilogues default epilogue] in ''Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal'', wherein she founded a Sharite cult in Waterdeep. However, in the original epilogue Viconia killed all of her cult members due to a betrayal from one of the members. Viconia shrugged off Shar's admonishment of this act, mirroring her early rebellious actions against {{FRWiki|Lolth}}. In ''Baldur's Gate 3'', Viconia's slaughter of the Waterdeep sect was instead carried out by order of Shar, Viconia remaining faithful to her goddess ever since. | |||
In Viconia's original epilogue, she then went on to stop 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 these events was unknown. | |||
