1) Part 1 SoD Alternative

Many players have felt that the protagonist is denied the valid option during the negotiations with Caelar to decide in favor of her offers to join efforts against Avernus.
This mod allows the player to overrule the coalition leaders and make an own decision about joining Caelar. The motive is that the player knows enough about the betrayal planned by her advisor and tries to avoid the bloody battle over Dragonspear Castle.
The option for decision appears in the negotiation at Dead Man's Pass, provided the player has left way for such a decision by previous dialogues and actions.
The more information the protagonist has gained during the game about Caelar and those near her, the more options are available while at her side.
The Shining Lady will not become join-able during SoD and her fate when leaving Avernus remains as in the original game. The remaining plot in SoD is not affected, only during the trial you get an option to use your decision as additional argument.
Do NOT use this mod when playing SoD for the first time. It bypasses the semi-cinematic battles at coalition camp and breaking into Dragonspear Castle. The crusaders retreat peacefully and the Castle is in the hands of the Flaming Fist after you return from Avernus.

2) Part 2 Caelar's Rescue

This addition (for EET only) will allow you to finally release the Shining Lady from Avernus. The extension starts in ToB when you meet Aun Argent in Saradush. Your Bhaal plane portal allows you to access other parts of Hell and by this provides a means to rescue Caelar and let her join your party.
This way all your former opponents from the various campaigns (Sarevok, Caelar and Irenicus) may be added to your final party.
Instead of seeking redemption as a fallen paladin, Caelar will try to become the champion of a rising new god, although her idea about your role differs quite a bit from Sarevok's view...

Caelar has a quest concerning the souls lost in Avernus which includes the party's return to Dragonspear and various SoD areas.

Captain Corwin of the Flaming Fist in the town of Baldur's Gate is an original SoD NPC.

Her story ends with the protagonist having to leave for Amn. This mod does not change this - instead I made the new approach to extend the NPC's story forward, which in her special case seems to make much more sense. Her loyalty is with her town, its people, and the Flaming Fist and she will not leave it.

The mod makes Corwin available as a joinable NPC as soon as you get access to the city in the BG1 part of the game. Scar introduces her on your first meeting with him and you can chose her to help you with the affairs that trouble her hometown.

Features:
- A joinable NPC for the second half of BG1
- Interactions with the protagonist to flesh out the initial friendship (or not) that seques into the possible SoD romance.
- additional encounters and scenes that add to Corwin's background story.
- insights into the Flaming Fist relation to the Iron Throne and Sarevok, contents referring to Scar, Angelo, Eltan, Alatos, Skie and others.
- A continuous Corwin: She will follow you into SoD initial dungeon. During the city overture of SoD she will keep her original role to accompany you without joining, however her dialogues and reaction will reflect the case that she knows you already and has travelled with you. She becomes joinable (again) as soon as you leave the city and she will continue as the same incarnation you had in BG1.
- The original SoD content (including the romance) is preserved but adjusted to the possibility of her being already acquainted with the protagonist prior to the crusade. All in all the pre-SoD content is intended to give Corwin a deeper personality and make her SoD actions and decisions more transparent.
- Not to forget that Corwin is a useful archer in BG1 and keeps her stat gains, XP, equipment etc when she joins you again in SoD.

Due to the continuity provided for Corwin by this mod, it is for EET games only.

It is recommended to install also the SoD Banter Restoration mod to complement this mod with NPC to NPC banters.

A mod by Roxanne based on the original Corwin NPC character of the BG SoD extension.
