Bhaal spawn

[Whut]

I thought all the Bhaal spawn died? Why do we have the dark urge being a bhaal spawn? There is one in the launch trailer, for less then a second. That is why its pretty obvious the dark urge is one.

Noone said that Durge is a Bhaalspawn, yet. Durge might be carrying some Bhaal blood, or the Bhaal sign behind Durges introduction is just games logo.
Find out next week in Baldurs Gate Z!

You're probably right, but we won't know the whole story until we play the game.

"The Lord of Murder shall perish, but in his doom he shall spawn a score of mortal progeny. Chaos will be sewn from their passage. So sayeth the wise Alaundo."

lol I dunno. maybe there are more? I can't recall any more but it's been awhile.

Canonically all of the Bhaalspawn are dead - however, nothing says he couldn't have made more since.

Aren't the powers of a cleric derived from a god? I thought there was a Bhaal response as a cleric in the game basicaly Bhaal gives you your powers ergo he's alive?

It`s been what. 130 something years sinse BG2? Bhaalspawn might have themselves spawned some Bhallspawnspawn.

He is alive, and the cult of the dead three are/were still active in Baldur's Gate.

In 5e not neccecerily, some clerics draw power from ideologies or concepts (twilight cleric comes to mind)

Dark Urge could be Bhaal's chosen, possessed, Bhaal's avatar with a wicked case of amnesia, a bhaalspawn's descendant, part of a new generation of Bhaalspawn, or just be mentally ill and "Bhaal" is their imaginary friend.

Lots of options that aren't just "Bhaalspawn that somehow survived past Bhaal's resurrection." It's far from obvious what Dark Urge is, other than likely related in some (not necessarily familial) way to Bhaal.

Nobody knows but I can't wait to find out. It's going to be hard to not DU first but I'm going to trust in the Swen.

I like that theory! Unfortunately, they are all officially dead according to the lore. Abdel (Gorian's ward) was killed by Viekang (the last Bhaal spawn) and, Viekang was killed by his companions and the flaming fist.

What relevance does their death have on whether or not they had children before they died?

[Marauder]

Well the release trailer shows a VERY quick scene of a slayer emerging from the baal circle the character steps in.

You're not listening. The original person you responded to said that some of the Bhaalspawn "might have themselves spawned some Bhallspawnspawn" i.e. had children of their own who inherited some murderous tendencies from grandpa Bhaal.

Your response "impossible, the Bhaalspawn are all canonocally dead" doesn't make any sense in the context of the comment you were responding to. How does death of all Bhaalspawn preclude the possibility of Bhaalspawn-spawn existing? There exists a concept called "procreating before you die," which is how 100% of children are conceived.

We know at least one Bhaalspawn, Abazigal, had a child, meaning it's possible for Bhaalapawn to procreate. Meanwhile, Abdel Adrian and Viekang alone had over a hundred years to pop out children. The world could be absolutely swarming in Bhaal's grandchildren and great-grandchildren by now.

Okay.
