Personal headcanons for Gale's tower layout:
5F: An astronomical observatory with an orrery in it. The stardome is enchanted to reflect whatever sky and weather Gale wishes; if he wants to see the stars in Kythorn, that's what it shows him. If he wants rainy weather to read to, guess what. The stars reflect whatever position the orrery's been set to. There's a walkable ledge around the exterior of the roof for Tara's pigeon-hunting.
4F: A portal room, surrounded by three guest bedrooms and a bathroom. The bedrooms are themed: one smells like a sea breeze and faces the harbor, colored with sunset shades with gold accents, one smells like rose potpourri and fresh grass, mostly pastel purple with brass, one smells faintly spiced, deep maroon and bronze. Morena prefers the rose one. Each one comes equipped with a vanity that has three (magic) mirrors, a wardrobe that removes wrinkles and stains of anything hung in it and repairs minor stitches, a set of candles that never burn down their wicks, and curtains that, when drawn, enact a silent barrier around the room. The floors are polished hardwood with plush, patterned carpets. The bathroom is self-cleaning, has running water on command, whatever temp you want it, warms towels for you, and has a magic mirror (magic mirrors in my headcanon show hairstyles and things you WANT to try before you actually try them out).
3F: Gale's floor. His bedroom, a walk-in closet, a room for Tara, and a personal bathroom. Gale's bedroom has silence-spelled drapes, glowing crystal sconces he can dim with a wave, a desk, a large canopy bed (the one he summons during his last night in Act II), a small bookshelf for whatever he's currently reading that doubles as his nightstand, and a plush window seat. The walk-in closet is neatly sorted, with everything from travel robes to finery to wear to the annual Blackstaff Ball, and has the same enchantments in it as the guest room wardrobes, with the added effect of making anything put in it inexplicably smell like a library. His bathroom is just like the guest ones, but larger. The bathtub inside, when activated, always assumes he wants his bath piping hot and lavender-scented. Tara's room is smaller, but fully designed for her little cat body. Scratching posts, cat-sized perches and comfy cat towers, and a little bookcase and window seat of her own. She keeps her space VERY neat, in contrast to Gale's "organized chaos" sort of living.
2F: This is the floor we see in Gale's Act II illusion. The packed library, the messy desk, the private study, the balcony... He sorts his books by topic, then by date rather than author. Tara is appalled by it. The balcony has a minor enchantment to keep weather, pigeons, and seagulls off of it. Tara is upset at the lack of birds; it's SUCH a cozy napping spot, and you're going to take away her free breakfast, too? Gale's compromise was the 5th floor's walkable ledge, which is a prime pigeon-hunting perch.
1F: The entry floor. It's got a sitting room to entertain guests with, and a large, well-kitted kitchen. The dishwashing basin does the washing for Gale. On the wall in the sitting room, there are two notable paintings: one is of young, 10-year-old Gale in a cape, standing proudly with both his parents and holding his first-ever proper wizard staff. He's TRYING to have Tara on his shoulders, he insisted, but she's just too big, so he's wound up leaning forward where she awkwardly perches on his back. He has a snaggle tooth. The other painting is of a much older Gale, dressed finely and standing with his mother, smiling. It was made before he got the beard, so he looks a decent bit younger than he is. Tara is wrapped around Morena's shoulders like one of those feather boas, but she's headbutting Gale's shoulder affectionately.
B1: Gale's wine cellar and well-stocked pantry. He collects all kinds of wines from all over Faerûn, usually getting them from merchants that pass through Waterdeep, but he's not opposed to cracking open an expensive vintage with the right company. There's a locked cabinet labeled "in case of Elminster" that contains some cheeses and wine to offer the older wizard, that way Elminster doesn't raid Gale's pantry when he's not looking. If you don't feed Elminster, he WILL feed himself at your expense.
B2: Gale's spell workshop, scroll storage, alchemy lab, and vault. Gale's not especially well-versed in alchemy (I think Wyll's got dibs on that, personally), but he DOES mix himself up some Arcane Cultivation elixirs from time to time. And if a potion recipe intrigues him enough, he likes to have a place on hand to try things out. The vault is well-guarded with spells, but, sadly, pretty empty; it just has his savings there now, where once it held all sorts of enchanted items he'd picked up through his studies and younger adventuring days.
An additional note: Tara has perches all throughout the house, on every floor, basically anywhere Gale spends a lot of time doing things. The cushions that are hers are magically heated and smell like tea and mint.
#long post#bg3#gale dekarios#gale's tower#see i think gale knows all about elixirs#resistances to magic? see invisibility? right up his alley#but i don't think he could look at a rogue's morsel and be like 'ah yes. that's for healing purposes'#mans needs a recipe book for his chemistry#whereas i think wyll would know just about every edible and useful plant out there AND how to treat his own wounds

I added some new screenshots! Honestly, I had thought about drawing my HC about his tower for a while, so it's cool that I found this!
I tried Tiny Glades and I couldn't resist attempting to recreate Gales' wizard 'tower'. The design is based on some screenshots someone shared a while ago of the area around the 'tower' using freecam.
This is the post in reference:
https://www.tumblr.com/dailygale/728968860746842112?source=share
It doesn't look a tower at all. It may have been an aesthetic choice because we were not actually supposed to be able to see the outside of the building in that scene. But I went with it anyway. I headcanon that it is bigger on the inside, and it looks pretty average on the outside so it blends in with the other houses in the Dock Ward. I also thought that it would most likely be the nicest house on the street.
There are limitations to what you can do and design in the game. However, you can still surprisingly create a lot of unique designs. It is a very relaxing and cosy game to play. It was cheap so I can't complain!
And here is a night shot with the 'complete' house, with a little more creativity. The rooms with the light blue lights are the rooms where Gale conducts his magic experiments. Note that their are only windows at the front of the house for that level since the rooms in the back are for light sensitive experiments/ security.
I headcanon that the ground level floor contains the kitchen, eating area, a mud room and pantry. It also leads to a basement area where Gale keeps his wine and whisky collection.
The first floor contains his library and study, which is the room we see in his romance scene. As well as a storage room for his common artefacts. The second floor contains an alchemy room, storage room for rare artefacts, a private vault, and a room for his experiments. The third floor has a prayer room (where he would commune in private with she who will not be named), a second library, and a laundry room. Finally, the fourth floor contains a master bedroom, two guest rooms, a bathroom, and an observatory. This is also the floor his portal opens up on.

Running into an old friend
The Rolan comic is finally done! After people enjoying Rabid Tav finding Zevlor, I figured this Tav would also love Rolan a little too much... When Tav and co are committed to help, you're getting help!
Or how Lorroakan got his death warrant signed.
Learned a lot doing this comic, including that I am too slow and zoom in too much and holy shit not doing anything at this level of detail ever again lol

You know my weakness?
Fics that take place after in game events. I want to know what the author’s hc’s are for life after the netherbrain.
What happens to Tav and Karach in Avernus?
What kind of adventures do Tav and Astarion go on in the night/underdark?
Does Tav help Wyll rebuild Baldurs Gate? Or does the couple go to avernus with Karlach?
How does Tav adjust to life with Gale in Waterdeep?
What does Rolan and Tav’s lives look like in Ramazith’s tower?
I WANT TO READ IT ALLLLLLLLL
😭😭😭

A Wizard's best and most clever friend. (Alt Title: Mr. Dekarios! When have you last eaten? I mean a normal meal!)
Unhinged Medieval Illumination Tara will force feed you a pigeon in this empty tower if she must, Gale.

Gale's dry sarcasm absolutely kills me sometimes. It was nearly 2:00am and this caught me so off guard. I was howling.

I knew you could distract her with "lustful thoughts" of someone but my specific option was "distract her with your yearning for Gale" and it took me out. Then she called Gale pathetic and told me I could do better, which, rude.
