Baldurs Gate 3 Plot

The protagonist wakes up inside a giant ship belonging to mind flayers, creatures that implant people with parasitic tadpoles. The ship gets attacked by githyanki warriors, and the protagonist escapes with other survivors. They all have tadpoles implanted in them.

The party tries different ways to remove the tadpoles but fails. They find a "Dream Visitor" inside Shadowheart's prism, which protects them from the tadpoles' psychic influence. They then get involved in a conflict between druids and tiefling refugees against goblins worshipping a cult called the "Absolute".

They travel to Moonrise Towers to find a cure. There, they learn about General Ketheric Thorm's plan to use a relic called the "Nightsong" for immortality. The party confronts Ketheric and learns about the Absolute, an Elder Brain controlling those with tadpoles.

In Baldur's Gate, they face off against Ketheric's allies, Orin and Gortash, who manipulate them. They discover that the "Dream Visitor" is actually an illithid called the Emperor, who uses a githyanki prisoner named Orpheus for psionic resistance.
