Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal (game)

Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal is an expansion pack for the computer role-playing game Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn, and is the final chapter in the Baldur's Gate series. It adds one large optional bonus area to the Baldur's Gate II game: Watcher's Keep, a multi-level dungeon of sorts.

Plot
War breaks out throughout Tethyr between the agitated Bhaalspawn who turn out to be numerous and fight each other for power. The player must venture through treacherous regions, including the besieged city of Saradush, the Fire Giant-controlled Marching Mountains and the desert village of Amkethran. Five legendary Bhaalspawn, each so powerful that they are impervious to normal weapons, rise to power and notoriety, forcing the player character to defeat them either for personal glory or for the fate of Tethyr. The player comes a long way from his or her humble beginnings in Candlekeep. Ultimately, the player must vanquish all competitors and be presented with the choice of ascending the throne of Bhaal and becoming the new God of Murder, or destroying it and returning to peaceful life as a mortal. The main character may also ascend the throne of Bhaal and banish Bhaal's evil essence, becoming a deity dedicated to good and righteousness.

The Five Bhaalspawn destroying Amn and attempting to fulfill the prophecy are:


 * Illasera : A surprisingly weak Bhaalspawn with a lot of bravado. She is the first Bhaalspawn the player character encounters in the expansion pack.
 * Yaga-Shura : A Fire Giant besieging the city of Saradush with his army. He would be invulnerable but for an Achilles' heel in which the player character has sooner or later to solve in a series of quests which involve destroying his heart to render him vulnerable but no less fearsome.
 * Sendai : A drow warrior/cleric. The player character does not get the chance to draw swords against her immediately but must encounter wave after wave of attacks while plundering her lair.
 * Abazigal : A half-dragon of great power. The player character has to first kill his son, Draconis, outside Abazigal's lair before setting up a meeting with him.
 * Balthazar : A good monk of immense power, who feels the only way to destroy the curse of Bhaal is to become the Lord of Murder, and then end his own life.
