Random House Worlds expands the universe of Baldur's Gate 3 with four new releases. The publisher has confirmed a novel centered on Astarion, written by T. Kingfisher, which will delve into the story of the vampire rogue. The collection also includes a cookbook, a coloring book, and a notebook, offering fans alternative ways to connect with Faerûn and its characters.
Lore simmers slowly in editorial development 🍲
The Astarion novel, one of the game's most richly backstoried characters, will address his past as a slave and his quest for freedom. T. Kingfisher, known for her dark fantasy narrative, will adapt the game's events with a focus on the character's choices. The cookbook, for its part, will include recipes inspired by the taverns of Reithwin and adventurers' camps, while the notebook will serve as a personal journal for jotting down combat strategies.
Color your enemies before dismembering them 🎨
The coloring book promises to be a zen experience for those who need a breather between sessions. Because yes, after spending hours deciding whether or not to save a gnome, coloring in their silhouette seems like a good idea. But be careful using red on Astarion's details: it could be mistaken for a night hunting scene. At least this time, no one will throw a fireball at you if you go outside the lines.
