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.
