Talk:Visaj Despana

Any proof that Visaj is actually a member of House Despana? Can't find it anywhere else, incl. the Baldur's Gate wiki. ~ Possessed Priest (talk) 17:45, August 23, 2018 (UTC)


 * Hello Possessed Priest,


 * about your question whether Visaj Despana is a member of House Despana. Drow noble families give their last name to those male drow who are either born in the family or married to one of their women. Visaj has the last name, in other words he's indeed a member of the Despana family. This is all according to page 17 of The Drow of the Underdark.


 * I've got also a question to you about Ereilhei-Cilnu. Drow of the Underdark describes the city Ereilhei-Cilnu of Oerth, the core D&D 3e setting, not of Toril. A city called Ereilhei-Cilnu does exist in the FR-setting. May I ask whether you have a quote that says that the Oerth-version of the city and the Toril-version are the same thing? I'd find that interesting if you have one.


 * Best Regards

 * Hello Saya.


 * Is it stated in the game that Visaj was born in the family or married to one of their women? I'm just checking as I haven't played BGII in a long time.


 * As for your question on whether the Oerth-version is the same as the Toril-version, I do not. Perhaps I should remove the most recent info on Erelhei-Cinlu. ~ Possessed Priest (talk) 18:04, August 23, 2018 (UTC)


 * Hello Possessed Priest,


 * I'm sorry, I can't answer your question for I've never played a D&D video game including BGII, though I heard it's good. May I ask whether it is stated that he has the last name? If he has, he should be part of that family, though if it is added, a -tag should probably be added.


 * About Erelhei-Cilnu, thank you for the answer.


 * Best Regards

 * Hi Saya,


 * It was not stated in the game. I just watched a few episodes of a "Let's Play" on YouTube. Visaj refers to Jarlaxle as his Commander, and Jarlaxle refers to him as a lieutenant. Furthermore, Jarlaxle and Visaj are stationed at the headquarters of Bregan D'aerthe. Jarlaxle also refers to a payment from a matron mother as "our payment", to Visaj. After this encounter, the player and their party are teleported back to the city.


 * From this I see zero evidence that Visaj is part of House Despana, and he is in fact from Bregan D'aerthe. I'm going to rename the page, and fix some info. ~ Possessed Priest (talk) 19:17, August 23, 2018 (UTC)


 * Hello Possessed Priest,


 * that sounds convincing and like the right thing.


 * Best Regards
