For Baldur's Gate III, I'm thinking we play the game as the infamous Eclavdra Eilserv (Drow Priestes from G3, Hall of the Fire Giant King and D3 vault of the Drow)
Since you start as level 1, perhaps this is a younger version of her, where she decides to go on a quest to bolster her power on the surface, and cause complete havoc along the way. Since she is Chaotic Evil, she'll use every means necessary to fool everyone into helping her and once sufficiently powerful, destroy as much as possible, betray, backstab, and kill.
This will be an interesting test to see if Larian as story and main quest lines that assume you are good.
Format:
1 hour pre-recorded videos with full commentary. I'll also provide game director insights on level design, interfacing, story, game play, etc. as opposed to just playing the game like a pleb. I'll also do "after action" debriefs at the end of each session you can skip to along with time stamps to the good parts.
Background
Eclavdra is a powerful, exceptionally beautiful drow priestess of Lolth, Eclavdra is known for her cruelty and complex scheming, and her total lack of compassion. She eliminates rivals before they can become threats. Eclavdra is depicted as incredibly beautiful, with jet black skin, violet eyes, perfect breasts, and silvery or snow-white hair. However, she is as evil as she is beautiful.
Eclavdra is the leader of House Eilservs and the most powerful priestess of Lolth. A native of the city of Erelhei-Cinlu and member of House Eilservs, Eclavdra has served other powerful entities in the past, notably the Elder Elemental Eye and Graz'zt. For at time, she could be found at Iuz's court, acting as an ambassador. After Eclavdra's alliance with the Elder Elemental Eye jeopardized Lolth's attempt to bring the world of Oerth into the Demonweb Pits, she fell out of favor with her goddess.
These came today! These are REALLY clean and well done.

Drow.
"During PaizoCon 2023's "Into the Darklands" panel, Paizo creative director James Jacobs revealed that the drow would no longer appear in Pathfinder books due to Paizo's move away from the Open Game License (OGL), which allowed them to freely use and adapt the lore and characteristics of drow from other OGL books. The drow will effectively be replaced by serpentfolk in Pathfinder lore as the villains of the Darklands, with most drow cities in Golarion maps now becoming serpentfolk strongholds. "
How does this affect our Pathfinder Compatible Adventure, The Order of Succession?
Not much at all. Our version of Drow were very different from both TSR/WotC and Paizo's Golarion version. In preparation for ORC license and Pathfinder Remaster, we've renamed them to Northdark Elves which suits their history better anyway.
Northdark Elf Noble House Ronquar
Legends tell of hidden Northdark Elf cities deep beneath the surface in massive lightless caverns near underground lakes and rivers all controlled by multiple noble families called houses. Stories tell us that due to the chaotic evil nature of these dark elven societies and their demon goddess, these houses all jockey for favor by backstabbing one another, and if possible, bring about the complete destruction of the next in line. Their pursuit of power is unquenched and ruthless.
House Ronquar was once second in a long time of noble houses and when houses three and five openly attacked, the matron of House Ronquar and her daughters escaped. Stripped of their powers and realizing they would be hunted down and killed, they decided to renounce their demon goddess and go it alone in hopes of slipping away into the underground regions of the arctic north and reinventing themselves.
House Ronquar ultimately found a new power in a relatively unknown and rising Demoness called Ultiana – The Lady of Revenge. This wicked demoness promised survival, protection, and power in exchange for undermining her enemies, one of which was the very demon House Ronquar once praised. Through tributes and missions directed by Ultiana for decades, House Ronquar became a scourge in the arctic region of the world, raiding on both the surface kingdoms of men and the Arctic Elves of the frozen coast. The Northdark Elf used magical ships to move up and down underground rivers that fed into the artic oceans and moved inland with a network of Obsidian Altars built long ago by a forgotten dwarven kingdom.
Appearance Shift
Over the last thousand years, the Northdark Elf of House Ronquar began to change due to recessive genes becoming dominate with such a limited breeding stock and the influence of Ultiana’s power over MC1R proteins that shift her followers to look more like her. Unlike the standard Northdark Elf, the House Ronquar males have long blonde or red hair tied in braids in an odd Nordic style and braided goatee beards streaked with white. They have a pale purple skin tone, and their eyes are almost always purple or jet black. The females have also shifted from the typical white hair color into vibrant red, including Priestess Nylene.
