Good morning!

I should probably say hello. I'm Luri. I got my username from Kulyok's Xan mod several years ago and it's stuck ever since; I am most of the Luridels on the internet now. (Luridel is the elven name for the planet Coliar; associated with Erevan Ilesere.)
I was probably nine or ten when I started playing Baldur's Gate. It was the largest obsession of my childhood. I wrote fanfiction over at the Attic when I was eleven, I remember looking up 'omnipresent' in the dictionary at my middle school's library and trying to find excuses to use it in conversation (Jaheira was my favorite character), and I (to my great embarrassment twelve years later) also once made a Microsoft Word document transcribing all the quotes I had heard the in-party NPCs say. This was thirty-something pages long... in fourteen-point Comic Sans.
I've never actually stopped replaying this game, although I swore by BGTutu for many, many years. I seem to have registered around the time when I bought the Enhanced Edition for my little brother, @OlvynChuru - but I had no memory whatsoever of these forums until yesterday when he showed me that he'd been documenting his jester playthrough, which I'd heard occasional stories about.
I would have loved to have an active forum like this when I was younger, and I'm delighted to have it now.
Confession: I have never actually beaten Throne of Bhaal. I can't stick with a playthrough long enough before I restart them.

You have come in style. I'm already a reader of your playthrough story, and a good one.
Now we officially have a brother and a sister on this forum!
Enjoy your staying here, hope you find many friends.
This forum is one of the best things that can happen with any human/elven/halfling/dwarfen/gnome/mummy/ooze/you got it - being!
Keep an eye on your brother... Bhaalspawn siblings make for dangerous company.
