Spoiler warning! This text might contain spoilers about the story of Baldur's Gate 3.

[All one hundred chapters of this dense book describe the coronation of Raphael as Archdevil Supreme of the Nine Hells, but the circumstances vary in each case. Some versions are written as if historical fact, others are imagined futures, but all end with Raphael wearing the Crown of Karsus. One in particular catches your attention.]

In the end, it was the Prism-Bearers who came to him seeking salvation, and he laid out a course for their survival. They would be free of the parasite, the Sword Coast would be cleansed of illithids, and Raphael would receive the Crown for his part in the victory. From the moment he met them, it was inevitable. The Realms would weep to see his glory.
