   Keys: telepathy, illithid, telephatic, probing, connection, mind, probe, tadpole

   Illithid tadpoles inside a skull can not speak or interact telephatically. While normally, a tadpole would cause Ceremorphosis which after hours or days painfully turns the host into a mindflayer, the survivors who were among the ship of the Illithids and some Cultists of the Absolute will have this process halted at it's first stage. Survivors can subconsciously or consciously use the tadpole to read and telepathically communicate with each other. Furthermore, they are able to use various illithid devices inside illithid structures such as their ships.

   Keys: connection, sympathy, dream visitor, tadpole

   During an connection between two minds who are both infected with a tadpole, they are able to consensually share informations with each other, this can be a dialogue, images or even past memories. However, nobody likes to have their memories unearthed by strangers and this will cause great resistance unless there is trust. Tadpole connections are unspontaneous and require concentration, unless the Dream Visitor wants to connect two people's minds for the first time for a brief moment. Connections are painful for the first few times, but can become intimate and create a sense of unity in time.

   The survivors who carry the tadpole in their skull as well as the Cultists of the Absolute who are infected with an illithid tadpole inside their brain can connect with each other telephatically if they're standing in close proximity to each other, but the initial connection hurts like a headache of varying strength. One can feel this presence and can resist a connection. They will feel their own tadpole's emotions inside their skull which come in the form of an excited wiggle of the worm, mild headaches or similar. Through their tadpole they are able to mind control an individual who wears the Brand of the Absolute once for each day. A tadpole outside of a body can only flee for it's life if it's spotted, or secretly attempt to crawl up into an eye.

   Shar was in constant conflict with Selûne, her sister and the goddess of the moon. Their war was the eternal drama of the sky, vital to the balance of nature: the dark of the night devouring the light of the moon, before the moon was renewed and the cycle repeated. In their never-ending struggle across the sky, Selûne was slain by Shar at every new moon. They fought incessantly to undercut the other. Shar spent most of her energy and attention on this eternal conflict, but rather than assault Selûne directly, she preferred to target what her sister loved, such as her faithful.

   Their celestial war manifests itself into the mortal plane as both sides of either deity's cult held aggressive grudges on each other, often resulting in violence and bloodshed.

    Keys: The Guild, Baldur's Gate

    The Guild was a criminal organization that held great control over and influence throughout the city of Baldur's Gate. They oversaw nearly all aspects of organized crime, from lowly thugs, burglars and con men to the Kingpins that held sway over each district and their secretive guildmaster. Each Kingpin served as the leader of one of the city's gangs with a territory that encompassed one of the city's districts. Under the kingpins were the various agents of the Guild: operators, enforcers and footpads. The operators were masters of manipulation, using guile and skill to acquire certain prized goods or to bring on board any individuals that were otherwise unswayed by lesser Guild members. Enforcers were the group's muscle, working as guards, racketeers, collection agents and "protection" for Guild clients. The footpads of the Guild handled lesser crimes-of-profit such as theft, con jobs and illegal gambling rings. Those who were not actual members of the guild, but still provided a service of sorts, were referred to as assets. Many members of the Flaming Fist, The Watch and even the Parliament of Peers found themselves part of the organization from which they received some sort of recompense or kickback. Clients were different from assets in that they were financially or otherwise indebted to the Guild and were controlled through blackmail, threats or methods even more malevolent. The routine operations of the guild consisted of protection rackets, gambling rings and smuggling operations.

    Keys: illithid tadpole, tadpole

    Tadpoles are small creatures made by the Illithid Mind Flayers. They are their main source of reproduction as a tadpole is used to crawl up a victim's eye socket in order to reach it's brain where it nests and feasts upon it. A tadpole will induce ceremorphosis upon the victim, which leads to headaches, memory loss, hysteria and mania. The final stage of ceremorphosis violently transforms the body of the host into a Mind Flayer. The host's soul is believed to be destroyed at the end of the process. The process of ceremorphosis therefore results into the death of the host and into the birth of a new Mind Flayer. Upon being infested with a tadpole, the process of ceremorphosis can happen in between days or weeks.

    Ceremorphosis is a bodily transformation process that occurs when an illithid tadpole reaches maturity and is inserted into the brain of another being, typically a human.

This process erases all of the subject's personality and memory, but it leaves the physical body alive and under the control of the tadpole.
