The party tried various methods to remove the tadpoles, but all failed. They discover a “dream visitor” within Shadowheart’s prism that protects them from the tadpole’s mental influence. They then became involved in a conflict between druids and tiefling refugees and goblins who worshiped the “Absolute” cult.
They head to Moonrise Tower to find a cure. There, they learn that General Catheric Thom plans to use a relic called the Nightsong to gain immortality. The party confronts Catheric and learns about the Absolute, an elder brain who controls those people with tadpoles.
In Baldur’s Gate, they faced off against Catheric’s allies Orin and Gortashe, who manipulated them. They discover that the “Dream Visitor” is actually an illithid named “The Emperor”, who is using a Githyanki prisoner named Orpheus to create psionic resistance.
The protagonist confronts Orin and Gotash in an attempt to subdue the Elder Brain. They realize that the Nedstone needs Orpheus’s power. They can either free Orpheus or sacrifice him to defeat the Elder Brain.
