Phlox is (technically) the second oldest of four to the leaders of Deergarde, Ophelia and Elas Nanadi. It was always a point to poke fun at her twin brother, Eliros, with, but nowadays she wishes he were her senior with the possible crown of leadership looming over her head. Three years prior to the game, her oldest brother and heir to the lead, Sarminar, went missing. She was on her quest to find him when the Nautiloid captured her.

Before he became Mystra's chosen, Phlox and Gale were childhood best friends and were head over heels smitten for one another; their families joked that wedding bells could be heard in the distance. When he left and his memories of her were erased by the Goddess, she was married off to a seemingly nice man from Baldur's Gate; everything wasn't what it seemed and the curse he placed upon her lingered decades following. She will need the help of her friends, old and new, to break free.

Casimir's story is too fresh to understand the full extent of her Bhaalspawn past. Prior to that chapter in her journey, Cassie lived a peaceful life as an only child with her father; her mother had passed away when she was very young. Her father was a skilled blacksmith and taught her how to carry herself with a weapon. Her skill in magic was passed down from her mother, but she struggled controlling it since her father couldn't help teach her.

Cosi chose to reject her life before joining the Witchlight Carnival. Coming from a toxic family situation, she believes her life truly started when she joined the carnival as a young fae. There, she performed great ballads and swooned the crowds over with her charm and beauty. When they weren't performing, the merry band of performers and entertainers were her home and source of comfort and fun. Sure, she bedded the occasional acrobat or musician, but she never found the love she was looking for until she was separated from her realm and dropped into the clutches of Faerun.

You could have been no more than eight summers’ old, clutching your mother’s apron, eyebrows singed off by the fireball you’d unleashed into your neighbour’s rose bush. You were crying because the flowers were so beautiful, and you did not mean to destroy them. - Elminster’s Letter / God of Ambition epilogue

Gale never told Phlox about the rose bush story from his youth, but there's no denying that the most important rose in his life has been her. It has always been her. And like that destroyed rose bush, he hurt her too; in his ambitious chase for magic and knowledge, he unknowingly hurt the one who loved him most. But it was too late, he was gone. And like the burned petals of that rose bush, the memories of her were burned away from his mind by his new love, his Goddess. Decades passed and their paths crossed once more while on this newfound adventure they were thrust into. Memories were rekindled and his rose, although damaged and burned from her own adventures and misfortunes, continued to live amidst the flames with her love for him never faltering.

This scene and outfit combo were inspired by Elminster's letter in the God Gale epilogue, recalling the first time he met Gale as a child. I've seen many pieces of Gale pictured with roses. I'm really happy how this little idea turned out. 💜
