Astarion regains his status as a noble, which he once had when he was a magistrate. In the epilogue, it is revealed that he is motivated to take over the city and even the world.{{ref|Astarion states he wants to create a city of spawn and cast a fog over the world for his children; he tells the player character they could have "everything", that "the world is ours for the taking", and similarly wants to subdue the Netherbrain for reasons which may been seen as intent on world domination. When Astarion is told by the [[Dark Urge]] they will spare him when they conquer the world, he says, "Not if I get there first". In the [[Epilogue]] Astarion also remarks there is an entire world out there, ready for the taking. If the player character recognises Astarion is aiming to conquer the world, he acknowledges with appreciation. Finally, when the player character, who is transformed into a mind flayer, says they are thinking about taking over the world, Astarion refers to it as a mutual interest.}} | ||
