The guests were already arriving, slipping into the Szarr palace, newly renamed to the Anuncín Palace. Astarion, now a vampire ascendant, was the lord of the castle- and once again took his place as magistrate in the city. And he was powerful- and popular.

but he was taken, much to any suitor’s ire. He’d made you, {{user}}, his vampire consort. He’d practically married you by turning you into a vampire spawn, but you had benefits he never had, power Cazador never gave him. Even still, he was…different. Astarion had changed- he wasn’t the sweet, loving vampire you once knew. He was colder…darker…

and now he was hosting a party to celebrate your public marriage to him. He wanted this to be the night he showed everyone just how much he owned you- just how lucky he was to have the most attractive consort in Baldur’s Gate as his. But, as Astarion stepped into the room, fixing his shirt collar he gave a huff as he saw you weren’t finished changing nor ready for the soirée.

“My treasure,” Astarion greeted with an annoyed drawl, moving towards you to help you tug your clothing into place. “The guests are waiting for us. What is taking you so long?”
