Since we are both huge fans of Baldur's Gate 3, we wanted to add in some things from the video game. We have more connection to that than, say, Drizzt or Elminster. Trouble it, BG3 takes place in DR 1492, and we want our 1st ed game to take place in DR 1357, a year before the Time of Troubles. While in my 2nd ed game, I have a minor connection with Arnell Hallowleaf, but I also wanted something for this game. We are assuming that while my characters are exploring the Sword Coast, his characters will be exploring the Sea of Fallen Stars. This opens up a lot to us. But there are more than 130 years between our games and the events in BG3. So, there are not a lot of characters that are around for both times. Even Jaheira would only be about 10 years old at this point. Maybe they can rescue her and her family at some point. Set her on her path to become a Harper.
As it turns out I have wanted to explore some of the past of the Cambion, Mizora. She is a rather fun character in her own right and deserves some expansion. She is the servant of Zariel, but the trouble is there was no Zariel in AD&D 1st ed. Well, we are already ret-conning some details, and truthfully I was never a fan of Tiamat as the ruler of Avernus. I might use Bel, the former ruler. I'll check Descent into Avernus for ideas later on. But for now, I need to figure out who Mizora is, and more to the point, who is she in AD&D 1st Ed.
In BG3/5e she is a sorcerer, but this is AD&D, so I am going to make her a magic-user. I am also going to say she spent a lot of time in Avernus prior to BG3, so this is the time before that.
I am not sure how long cambions live. I do think her mother was human, maybe even a witch. Now that would be fun.

A few hours later...
Ok, change of plans, sort of.
I AM sticking with Mizora, but not the Mizora he (and everyone else knows). I am going with Mizora as a teenager. She knows there is something different about her, but doesn't yet know what.
Moria Zami ("I am Mizora") is just a 16 year old witch caught in the same pirate raid on the Sea of Fallen Stars that grabbed the characters. She is going to stay with them for a while. Until something bad happens. This also gives me the chance to try out some new things for my Left Hand Path book and something new I am starting later this summer.

So far, she is a good girl, but that is going to change.
