Trivia

• Lenore's last name is variously spelled as 'DeHurst' and 'De Hurst' in the game.
• It is not clear if Lenore De Hurst is the same person as 'Lenore the Fleet' (the mother of Lora, mentioned in dialogue and the description of Duellist's Prerogative).
• Lenore's correspondence to Lorroakan includes a likely reference to Tarquin from Larian Studios' previous game, Divinity: Original Sin II. At the end of that game, Tarquin's dialogue provided easter egg information about Baldur's Gate 3, which was in pre-production at the time:
  • 'How does one top the greatest feat of necromancy ever conceived? I might have the answer to that... tell me, have you ever heard of Gustavchen?' - A reference to Gustav, the internal project name of BG3, as well as the name of Larian CEO Swen Vincke's dog and the source of the 'Tav' default name for custom player characters in BG3.
  • 'No, of course you wouldn't. It's a written language, unreadable to most... but myself, naturally. It comes from a mysterious race from another world - beings that feed on minds.' - A reference to Mind Flayers, which are central to the story of BG3. Possibly also a reference to how BG3's story and concept was being worked on by a small team of writers from 2016 to 2018 before the rest of Larian got involved.
  • 'I intend to seek them out. This Gustavchen seems to guard portals to their realm. And once I've uncovered one, well... why settle for being the greatest mind in just one world, when there's another for the taking?' - Implies that the 'Tuqueen' referenced in Lenore's letter is in fact Tarquin, and he somehow managed to find his way to the Forgotten Realms shortly before the events of BG3.
