Talk:Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus

Has anyone any idea what type of demon zariel is fighting in the promo image? It looks like a fiendish red bugbear with a belly made of lava...Jacktoland 14:57, 21 August 2019(GMT)
 * What promo image are you talking about? I don't see any such thing on this page, or on the linked product page. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 16:57, August 21, 2019 (UTC)

Yeah, sorry about being vague, I don't like uploading images if I don't know the page number...Jacktoland 20:58, 21 August 2019(GMT)

Year the book takes place.
The story does not take place in 1492. The Gazetteer give us the polictical and socal climate in Baldur's Gate as of 1492, but the story does not take place then. In the Chapter 1, The Companion, it states that the Companion appeard over Elturel in 1444. The pact that created it states that Elturel will be forfeit to Zariel in 50 years. This puts the year at 1494.

 * Adam Lee tweeted that it takes place in 1492 DR (in response to a question asking if it was 1491 or 1492): https://twitter.com/adamofadventure/status/1176524289517834240 ... V2Blast (talk) 11:55, November 24, 2019 (UTC)


 * Adam Lee would be mistaken, dating the Gazetteer, or picking the better of the two dates on offer by the person asking. The date and span of the contract makes the 1494 DR date unavoidable. Devils don't usually get the details wrong! (Though the contract is dodgy for other reasons.) In any case, his comment is too short and off-the-cuff to make much about. — BadCatMan (talk) 12:23, November 24, 2019 (UTC)
 * Adam Lee is not only a writer for this book but he was the story lead. If he thinks the book was set in 1492, and the Gazetteer was written assuming 1492, to me that warrants at the very least a note saying there is confusion. Yellow hat elminster (talk) 13:06, September 25, 2020 (UTC)
 * I agree, It should be at least noted. WotC needs to get a damn calendar and learn simple math. Sansd20 (talk) 13:20, September 25, 2020 (UTC)
