#when Halsin said his goodbyes and breaks up with you it literally made me cry

Rather than immediately delving back into the Underdark I’m picturing a spawn romanced Astarion ending with the handful of companions who have nowhere else to go start traveling together again.
First to Waterdeep, to make sure Gale’s home is still in one piece and that his mother is safe. But after that I can see Shadowheart, Gale, Tav, and Astarion sticking out to try and find a way for Astarion to walk in the sun again.
Traveling up as north as they can get, chasing the seasons and falling in love with winter and it’s long nights with short days. Maybe even somewhere up in Damara, above the Moonsea and Cormathor, where Glaciers start to form and months can pass without the sun peaking above the horizon.
It would be a semipermanent twilight, little to no direct sunlight for over half the year so close to the Pole. It helps that Astarion looks so nice in winter furs. When winter finally comes back to the Sword coast they move camp again closer to Baldurs Gate to visit Jahiera and her kids.
They’re able to travel back into what used to be the shadowlands now slowly blooming with Thaniels help. It’s the first time either Tav or Astarion see Halsin since the Druid broke off their tentative relationship and left when they stopped the apocalypse.
I can see the remaining party searching for purpose, searching for freedom, and moving with the cold caress of winter to herald them wherever they land to set camp for a season. There’s so much potential and I think trying to settle down would only lead to stagnation.
