Well met!

It's time for the first Adventure Update of 2026, and we're back with the next installment of Tales of the Champions! These two Champions could not be more different: one Champion is a hero of and for the people of Baldur's Gate, dedicated to a life of service -- while the other Champion only lived for 11 days...

For the next two Tales adventures, Duke Ulder Ravengard goes to extreme lengths to protect what matters to him most, while Spurt the Kobold endeavors to become the next Pirate King...

Completing the base adventures will unlock Duke Ravengard (Seat 8) and Spurt (Seat 3), while completing the new variants will unlock Feats, Corrupted Gems, Gold Champion Chests, and two exclusive Skins!

Are you ready to take on the challenge? Read on to learn more!

Legacy

Duke Ravengard would go to any lengths to protect that which matters most. With divine aid, he descends into Avernus once again to make things right, but a wrathful heart is not so easily swayed, and a devil's taste for dominion is never truly satisfied.
