From The Supplement “Sandstorm: Mastering The Perils Of Fire And Sand”

To me she feels at the very least in her early thirties in bg1 I typically think of her as her as late thirties. I think the people who made the game didn’t think too much about the timeline because that’s a common trend in the dnd verse since it’s so complicated lol. Her being the godmother to gorions ward makes me feel really weird about the romance

I think it’s best to ignore the actual timeline and go with what makes sense to you

Jaheira's Timeline is Fucked??

I feel like this is known. but still, what the fuck.

The original BG website (taken down) apparently listed Jaheira as being born/less than a year old during the civil war in Tethyr, also known as the Ten Black Days of Eleint. This event happened in 1347.

But if that's true, that makes Jaheira 21 as of the first game. In the first meeting with her, she states that her & Khalid were supposed to be Gorion's Ward's foster parents should anything happen to Gorion. Gorion's Ward is said to be 20 (or "of your twenty years of life") as of the beginning of the game which takes place over the course of about 5 months.

So Jaheira was supposed to be your guardian when she was maybe a year older than you at best.

Worse still, there's supposedly a dialogue between Jaheira and Glint (a companion) in Siege of Dragonspear that confirms that Jaheira had been married to Khalid for 8 years, and dated him for more than 10 years total. SoD takes place in 1368 - 1369 and is 6 months long at most.

That means she started dating Khalid at age 11 - 12, married him at 13 - 14.

Add on that Khalid's BG website bio implies that Khalid and Jaheira met through Gorion (presumably the "sorceror" Khalid asks his father to pay to teach him) & the Harpers, so she was a Harper prior to meeting him, when she was like 10.

like obviously someone fucked up on the numbers, the setting/story isn't quite dark enough to be implying an underaged/arranged marriage for one of the happier couples in the game. but still..

If Jaheira had been born in 1347 she would have been 145 years old as of BG3. Half-elves live around 120 - 180 years.

To make any of it fit, that statement has to be ignored, and at least 5 years need to be tacked onto her age.

So at the earliest:

She's born in 1342.

The civil war happens when she's 5 and she's rescued by one of her servants.

She joins/is involved/travelling with the Harpers around 13 - 15 ish.

She meets Khalid at 16 - 17, marries him at 18 - 19.

Which leaves space for Gorion to have asked her to be next-of-kin to a 14 yro when she was 20.

That way she's 26 when Gorion's Ward (20) rocks up.

As of BG3, she's 150.

But I think that's the absolute youngest she could have been, to correct the dates while still remaining true to the tone of BG & Jaheira/Khalid's relationship.

A more realistic approach would probably be to tack on 10 years:

She's born in 1337.

The civil war happens when she's 10 and she's rescued by one of her servants.

She joins/is involved/travelling with the Harpers around 15 - 19ish.

She meets Khalid at 21 - 22, marries him at 23 - 24.

Which leaves space for Gorion to have asked her to be next-of-kin to a 9 yro when she was 20.

That way she's 31 when Gorion's Ward (20) rocks up.

As of BG3 she's 155.

I did entertain the possibility that she was also present with Gorion when rescuing the Bhaalspawn & adopting his Ward,

(Idk if she knows that your a Bhaalspawn prior to you finding out bc I haven't got that far in the game & haven't seen anything to suggest she does? BG veterans ur input is very much welcome here!)

but that would need her to be around at least 20 in 1348 & a competent Harper, which conflicts with her being child in need of a servants help in 1347 when the civil war begins. Her being 40ish when Gorion is killed isn't so much of an issue since she's a Half-elf and Shadowheart, who is also considered a young adult, is in her 40s in BG3. It's just the conflict with her being a child in 1347 that makes me think she wasn't involved then.

Look what I found while cleaning my closets. 🥰

been a while since i drew on my tablet

I wanna talk about my AU that gradually took over my bhaalspawn

So we all know Jaheira and Khalid were meant to take care of gorions ward if something happened to him right? Well what if instead Gorion asked them to raise the MC from the beginning?

If we take what SoD implies about Gorion saving the MC and killing their mother maybe he does this because instead of feeling responsibility he feels guilt over killing this kids mother. If we take what Gorion says in his note about her dying in childbirth then we can say maybe he was filled with grief or something. Either way he doesn’t keep them unlike canon

What would be the impact of this on the story? There are so many ways you could go with this concept, but most of all I just want to know how jaheira and Khalid would be as parents! Jaheira has her kids in bg3 but I need more! I need dad Khalid! He already gives off those vibes with his whole “Gorion would be proud of your actions” I think he’d be such a girl dad

So I took my Bhaalspawn Evune from my playthroughs and put her in the au and she lives there now

(Old art aaaaa)

This is her, my girl, she’s a ranger

Uhh so I had a hyperfocus moment and started an animatic and this is the sketch of one of the frames, pardon the lines indicating clothes I haven’t fully decided outfits yet I was more trying to figure out anatomy and perspective while also breaking said anatomy to get the shot I wanted

This is basically them reuniting in silvanus’ afterlife because Hamilton came on the random mix even though I haven’t listened to it in many years and I was inspired which is kinda full circle since I was introduced to animatics and that anyone could make them via Hamilton back in 2015

Anyway no guarantee when I’ll get this done because it’s purely based on the whims of the universe when I’ll have the motivation to work on it lol

The art is so prettyyyyy

The shadowlach shippers may be converting me even though I've shipped shadowzel (or whatever the shipname is called) from day one

and they were ROOMATES 👀⁉️

If you would be so kind as to reblog this if you feel insecure about your writing skills.
