Text

[This is a popular-history account of Grand Duke Valarken's attempt to usurp the power of Baldur's Gate's Council of Four, in which he staged a failed coup backed by a cult of lycanthropes called the Band of the Red Moon. There are several notes in the margins in Gortash's precise handwriting, with the following scrawled in the endpaper: 'Two lessons - First, assassination alone isn't enough, and second, Duke Dillard Portyr lived through this, so don't underestimate him.']
