Item from baldurs-gate-3 by Larian Studios
Three ancient Netherese stones that together can dominate the Elder Brain — each held by one of the Dead Three's Chosen, each requiring you to confront a different kind of villain to claim.
The Netherstones are the keys to the endgame. Ketheric Thorm holds one, bound to Myrkul's death domain. Gortash holds another, fueling Bane's authoritarian network of Steel Watchers and surveillance. Orin the Red holds the last, channeling Bhaal's murder domain into shapeshifting madness. To control the Elder Brain and end the Absolute threat, you need all three. Each stone represents a different flavor of tyranny: death, domination, murder. Collecting them means destroying each Chosen in turn — or in Gortash's case, potentially allying with him first. The stones themselves are morally neutral artifacts, but possessing all three creates the final temptation: you could use them to dominate the Elder Brain yourself, becoming a new Absolute. The Netherstones don't test your strength. They test your intentions.
