These videos are BEST experienced with headphones as I spend a decent amount of time on audio presentation. It's great to be back with some lore! I am excited to start up this new series.

Could you put this video and the following into a playlist to better keep up with the upcoming uploads especially? this was exactly what I was looking for since I never got to play the first 2 games and most "What happened b4 BG3" videos leave out most of the details and don't really immerse you into the world.
I much appreciate you doing this series, it'll help fill in the gaps for myself and others who don't know all of the lore surrounding the most relevant things in BG3. Much love.
Really looking forward to this game being completed. I've been playing games, D&D, and reading countless novels set in the Forgotten Realms for about 35 years now.
Audio quality is great! As someone who loves Divinity Original Sin 2 but has never played BG before I really WANT to love and be excited about this game. I'm still not sure if the world and lore here is "accessible" enough for me, but I'm sure this series will help!
Thanks a lot! There's definitely a lot of history in the Forgotten Realms, but the good thing is that Larian is setting BG3 up to where it's a not a requirement to know the lore. With that said, knowing bits and pieces of it I think will certainly make for a more immersive experience!
This is exactly what I've been looking for, a complete guide to all the lore of bauldera gate 3 to enhance the experience. Not just summary and guides to the game. Thank you so much. 🎉❤
I appreciate this series as I was planning on watching your previous videos explaining the lore behind BG 1 & 2 from a year ago. Honestly, I was deciding whether to even play those games but realize I may not have the time commitment.
If you want to learn exactly what happened during the time of troubles check out these three novels; Shadowdale, Tantris and Waterdeep. It's the Time of Troubles Triogy and follows the party who puts an end to Bane, Myrkul and Baal. Well, for the time being anyways lol. Thanks for the vid Wolfheart. Was spot on. As an old fan who played through the time of troubles back in the AD&D days, this was very nice to watch.
Wonder how the Dark Urge will play into the story of these three, and if it's just Bhaal, or all three. If you go pure evil, do you end up taking all their power and becoming the new Jergal... or are you Jergal reborn, come back for his power?
Im glad taht you doing this lore vids brother. Im a gamer like 30 years now but missed orignals from that time in the past so it's good to get to know the lore of this complex world:)
Fun fact. Selune's Tears are the result of a weapon created by the oldest Faerun civilization. The ancient dragon empire. Fired to end a great threat to it. The weapon worked just fine. They just... Missed.
Hell yeah, mate. Great backstory. I've been a Forgotten Realms fan since reading the Avatar trilogy when it was released, but loved this lore refresher. Cannot wait for the rest of them!
I was genuinely hyped that you might do these! I want to immerse myself into the world before BG3 but I'm already chock full of other fantasy lore. You da real MVP
Lore vids are what first brought me to this cgannel. Love the shorter, concise storytelling approach. I found that really easy to follow and can't wait for future lore!
I would love some lore videos on the Hells, vampire lore in Faerun and anything related to House of Hope (is she an entity? A minor deity? What did Raphael want from her in more practical terms? How about her sister?)
Usually I watch your videos on the speaker but today for some random reason I used headphones. Good job! The difference is acknowledgable, and video’s nicer to watch. Also, tank you for doing this series, I watch all your videos, but this one is what I’m most excited about. Keep up doing the good work 🦾
I appreciate this series for both preparing for BG3 and also for DMing as I’m planning on running a large campaign using books like Waterdeep Dragon Heist and Baldur’s Gate Decent into Avernus.
Finally back to the campfire for some more lore! This type of content is what brought me to your channel in the first place. Thank you! Wolfpack, best pack.
WolfheartFPS I would like to thank you for these lore videos. As a DM they help tremendously and as a BG fan it makes the wait for BG 3 worth it. Thank you sir.
It will be interesting to see how Baldurs gate handles technological innovation. If the series continues to follow 1 cohesive timeline. I love these lore videos.
Love it, another lore video to delve into. I made a custom party so not to spoil the companion dialog and exploring with characters I normal would not play with. Been cool so far
I kinda wish that the three chosens of the ''absolute'' are actually just the mortal avatars of dead three (thorm being one). Would make great boss fights with interesting stories around them building up into the main plot of who/what is the absolute.
I love this kind of videos :) Sadly I read this book for the first time yesterday haha damn. Will you read more of the books of baldurs gates games? or will you make me read them myself like a pleb!!!!! x) But thank you, you made me sit down and play Baldurs gate 1 now that I bought maby years ago haha.
Thank you for the video Wolfheart! I enjoy videos about lore in the Forgotten Realms a lot. I look forward to your next one! Also, I'm curious as to how the Dead Three got together with some mindflayers. I'm hoping that Larian does a good job in explaining how all of it fits together.
HYPE! Thank you for sharing this story and I look forward to more from this series. The Forgotten Realms has so much history to share and you are a great story teller with excellent delivery! Well done!
These lore videos are awesome, thank you wolfheart, and also thank you for the quality audio! i listen to you on a very large high end vintage Tannoy system, and its very appreciated!!
So many interesting questions arise, though: 1. Where did The Dead Three get their hands on Netherese magic? 2. Did the Mind Flayers agree to the alteration of their Tadpoles, or are they unwilling dupes? 3. How does the Cult of the Absolute work towards achieving the goals of The Dead Three? 4. What is Shar's role in all of this?
I've been playing BG:EET modded and have been trying to read more of the books throughout this playthrough of both games.....I think I might prefer it this way :)....I'll keep a look out for others you do till release. Thanks!

@@Lofrek Yup I will start a new lore playlist once I get the second video out for it.
By the way you’re gonna want to look into Withers
Man, naming your kids Bane, Bhaal and Myrkul is just asking for trouble
Ban, ball, a mUrkle
Solving problems by bowling and throwing dice? This feels like a fictionalized version of a group's campaign.
I much appreciate you doing this series, it'll help fill in the gaps for myself and others who don't know all of the lore surrounding the most relevant things in BG3. Much love.
Thanks for watching 🙏
Check out mrrhex he has the best dnd lore videos I've ever seen.
I love withers so much more now
The Bone Throne is what my wife calls me when she's in the mood
#respect
Pun of this like is destined to be in every video mentioning The Bone Throne
Glory for those, stepping into The Bone Zone! 💪
As a newcomer to both DND and CRPGs, your videos have really helped me enjoy Baldur’s Gate 3 way more than I would have otherwise. Thank you!!
hey! Thanks a lot for that. Happy to help.
I'm so glad that this series exists. Baldur's Gate has such a fascinating world. It's hard to keep up with everything in it sometimes.
As someone new to BG as a whole, I greatly appreciate this!
Cheers
Same.❤
Really looking forward to this game being completed. I've been playing games, D&D, and reading countless novels set in the Forgotten Realms for about 35 years now.
any of the books ud reccomend?
Been sick for a week, this video made my day better. It took my mind off my explosive diarrhea. Thanks, Wolf!!
Comments like this make me thankful for the job I get to do. Always glad to assist with explosive diarrhea.
Him: Jergal
My brain: Gerbil
Love when you make these Lore videos can't wait for more!
Oh my gosh spoiler free content!!! I’m so excited
The books set in the time of troubles staring Cyric, Midnight (new Mystra), and Kelemvore were really good.
Audio quality is great!
As someone who loves Divinity Original Sin 2 but has never played BG before I really WANT to love and be excited about this game. I'm still not sure if the world and lore here is "accessible" enough for me, but I'm sure this series will help!

"A book thats in possession of a mage.." Love it! Excellent production.. more please! 🐺
😂😂 🙏
Is that the mage you find beneath the Iron Mines of Nashkel?
You see him first in the Candlekeep Inn, and then later you’ll meet him in Beregost, where I believe you get the book in question
Loved the sound effects you added to the story! Really shows how much effort you put into these videos!
I appreciate this series as I was planning on watching your previous videos explaining the lore behind BG 1 & 2 from a year ago. Honestly, I was deciding whether to even play those games but realize I may not have the time commitment.
Imagine bowling to be a god.Wild.
Yes! These will be perfect while working my way through Baldurs Gate 1 and 2 and the upcoming release of BG3!
Every little bit of additional information helps.
Thank you for this information.
If you want to learn exactly what happened during the time of troubles check out these three novels; Shadowdale, Tantris and Waterdeep. It's the Time of Troubles Triogy and follows the party who puts an end to Bane, Myrkul and Baal. Well, for the time being anyways lol. Thanks for the vid Wolfheart. Was spot on.

Thanks Tony. Great recommendation
Any advice on where to find these books?
bro this story alone brings chills to me, the game will be great
Wonder how the Dark Urge will play into the story of these three, and if it's just Bhaal, or all three. If you go pure evil, do you end up taking all their power and becoming the new Jergal... or are you Jergal reborn, come back for his power?
Keep it coming champ, can't wait to see what you got for us to watch next episode.
Will do thanks!
Im glad taht you doing this lore vids brother. Im a gamer like 30 years now but missed orignals from that time in the past so it's good to get to know the lore of this complex world:)
Just wanted to mention that there are the Enhanced Editions of BG 1 & 2. Well worth a playthrough even now.
Read the wiki for them today and this is just that. But I love the reading, brings life to it!
Now when I hear some one refer to Angela Merkle as: "Merkle the Destroyer", It now has a lot more weight. At least for me xD
Fun fact. Selune's Tears are the result of a weapon created by the oldest Faerun civilization. The ancient dragon empire. Fired to end a great threat to it. The weapon worked just fine. They just... Missed.
Thank you for your videos.

Absolutely love it. Great stuff. Looking forward to more!
🙏 🍻

Appreciate the feedback Michael!
Really enjoyed this video. Great to see you’re trying out new content formats. Looking forward to seeing your BG1 and BG2 summary videos.
Thanks! It’s actually not a new content format, I just haven’t done many like this over the past year or so. Cheers
Siiiccckkk.
Subbed and belled 🤙🤙
Thanks much
That was very good Wolf! Very succinct and thorough at the same time.
I would love some lore videos on the Hells, vampire lore in Faerun and anything related to House of Hope (is she an entity? A minor deity? What did Raphael want from her in more practical terms? How about her sister?)

OK this one is even better :)
Not being a veteran of D&D I appreciate these vids. 🤘
This is really good editing! I am hyped for more!
Thanks!
Oh hell yeah. Exactly the right choice of content at exactly the right time
Ah this lore is very insightful, can't wait for the next one
Finally back to the campfire for some more lore! This type of content is what brought me to your channel in the first place. Thank you! Wolfpack, best pack.
We have returned to the peaceful fire. Thanks Wiz
I think I'll try to read this series of books again before official release. The Avatar trilogy was really awesome!
7:07 the thunder strike got me there
The Vaati Vidya of Baldurs Gate 3 content
Vaati puts me to shame but since you thought of him when watching my content I feel honored
Amazing! Best video since that huge video with the summary of one of the DnD campaigns.
Loved this video! It gives a lot of context to the overall story, thanks!
I am re-running through these. What a great summary and start!
WolfheartFPS I would like to thank you for these lore videos. As a DM they help tremendously and as a BG fan it makes the wait for BG 3 worth it. Thank you sir.
Love to hear it! Thanks
I always wanted to play a campaign set during the 'Time of Troubles.' That would be a good time.
I agree. At the start of the game there could be a gigantic storm where all the gods are cast down. Then it’s your mission to kill a few lol
Now that it’s finally coming, I’m so happy for this playlist. THANK YOU.
Cheers
Definitely going to make me appreciate the game more and allow me to build more character types that aren't outsiders to the realm.
It will be interesting to see how Baldurs gate handles technological innovation. If the series continues to follow 1 cohesive timeline. I love these lore videos.
Thank you for the effort and obvious love you put into these videos. They are MUCH appreciated and marveled over.
Fantastic idea! Always nice to have some interesting lore :D
Love it, another lore video to delve into. I made a custom party so not to spoil the companion dialog and exploring with characters I normal would not play with. Been cool so far
good idea!
I kinda wish that the three chosens of the ''absolute'' are actually just the mortal avatars of dead three (thorm being one). Would make great boss fights with interesting stories around them building up into the main plot of who/what is the absolute.
Awesome! I've been waiting for this. Looking forward to following it all.
I love lore videos! I can't wait for the next ones. Thank you for another amazing video Wolf! ❤
Yep, this is what I was looking for, thank you so much.
Yes this is a well done video and appreciated. Look forward to more of these type videos.
Thanks! Plenty to come
Hooray, lore videos! That means release grows near 😄
Excellent, looking forward to the series!
Looking to get into D&D through BG3 so this is a great help, thanks!
Great video Wolf! I love learning about the characters and history of BG. Looking forward to future episodes.
Thanks Shadow!
I love this kind of videos :) Sadly I read this book for the first time yesterday haha damn. Will you read more of the books of baldurs gates games? or will you make me read them myself like a pleb!!!!! x) But thank you, you made me sit down and play Baldurs gate 1 now that I bought maby years ago haha.
This lore video was GREAT! Keep em coming!
Thanks. Hopefully one every Sunday
Great stuff. Much of it I knew and had forgotten. Some of it I didn't know at all. This is perfect and I look forward to the rest of this series.
YEEES !! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SERIES !!
It has arrived
Thank you for the video Wolfheart! I enjoy videos about lore in the Forgotten Realms a lot. I look forward to your next one! Also, I'm curious as to how the Dead Three got together with some mindflayers. I'm hoping that Larian does a good job in explaining how all of it fits together.
HYPE! Thank you for sharing this story and I look forward to more from this series. The Forgotten Realms has so much history to share and you are a great story teller with excellent delivery! Well done!
Yes it does. You could go to a 4 year university for D&D lore and still not know everything 😂 Thank you
These lore videos are awesome, thank you wolfheart, and also thank you for the quality audio! i listen to you on a very large high end vintage Tannoy system, and its very appreciated!!
That’s awesome thanks!
Thank you for the video!
Always liked Jergal. I have immense power but I am bored so whatever. He is like the character of Sir Terry Pratchett.
Loved the video, definitely looking forward to more of these.
Thanks for watching Thanezz
Great series. Really helps get pumped for the game.
So glad i found this playlist
Love this series please keep doing it
Thanks Wolf, your videos help me out a lot and I can't wait till release.
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching
Yeoman service for Lorebards like myself! loving the sound quality. You can do Audiobooks Wolf!
This was an excellent video, can't wait for more
Cheers! Got one in the works for this Sunday
Love lore. Welcome back. :)
As someone who has played through the Early Access and doesn't know anything about the lore, this explains a lot.
Awesome... Love this type of content
This is sooo good, thank you very much!
Glad you like it!
Keep up the great work!
So many interesting questions arise, though:
1. Where did The Dead Three get their hands on Netherese magic?

3. How does the Cult of the Absolute work towards achieving the goals of The Dead Three?

I've been playing BG:EET modded and have been trying to read more of the books throughout this playthrough of both games.....I think I might prefer it this way :)....I'll keep a look out for others you do till release. Thanks!
Cozy storytime
Great video, always like your stuff man
Thank you
Bold claim that it's a must watch! If I'd not wanted to watch this I would've unsubbed. But turns out I really like this video, thanks! Happy Easter!
Such a good idea! I really enjoyed this video. I am looking forward to the upcoming videos as well.
Thank you Suzanne
I Really enjoy Listening to this Video. Thank You Beloved Immortal Brother.
Thank you
😮
Looking forward to more lore videos!
Great video, I look forward to this series!
🙏
I KNEW I should've been reading those f&cking tomes in 1 & 2!
