Elorin-verse is the instance of Baldur's Gate 3 in which my OC Elorin fills the role of Tav the Tadpoled Adventurer. A drow from Menzoberranzan, Elorin goes into the story with the burden of a grim past and secrets galore, and along the way he recruits some extra companions that the game wouldn't normally allow.For the story following the events of BG3, look here on AO3: You Must Gather Your Party Before Venturing ForthFind the full series, which includes past and future stories, is on AO3 here: Elorin-verse

The Stone Spiders
Petrified and forgotten, six drow are rescued, robbed and abandoned in the underdark and left to fend for themselves. But will the drow go all the way back to Menzoberranzan, or will they find a new purpose on the Sword Coast?Series starts with The Stone Spiders.
