The progression of each of the acts’ storylines in BG3 is insane because it’s just like

Act 1: There’s a bunch of goblin cultists trying to kill some druids because they believe in a different deity, kill them so the refugees can leave safely, or turn on the druids and refugees if you want to play as a bad guy

Act 2: A bunch of people have been kidnapped so you need to venture through the British countryside of Perpetual Night to kill this lich with the help of his lesbian daughter and her demigod girlfriend in order to revive an immortal child that was banished to the Shadow Realm

Act 3: A gnome terrorist organisation will help you blow up a giant robotic policeman so you can go beat the shit out of an Archduke after you find out his anaemic spy’s underlings have been murdering people from the local brothel before you go to soufflé a giant psychic brain deity so everyone doesn’t turn into evil squid furries.

Wanted to do Halsin as a young cub coming into his Druidry, with a familiar friend to wish him well. (not to worry, the face tat is just paint here)

also wrote a little blurb (791 words) to accompany it under the cut!

“Alright. You can do this – relentless studies do not fail me now.” A young Halsin told himself, alone within a small grotto. It was time for him to prove his knowledge to his elder peers. He had been preparing for months, nights after long nights of arduous studying of old tomes and hours long meditations. His hands buzzed with a cocktail of anxiety and excitement as he quietly rehearsed his teachings.

He pressed a loosely closed fist to his chest and bowed his head, “Oak Father, grant me courage to excel through the trials this Circle has bestowed upon me. I trust no other counsel but yours.”

A moment passed as he reflected on his prayer, but was soon interrupted by a magical disturbance in the air. A faint golden light flashed behind Halsin that grabbed his attention. Suddenly, an apparition of a young boy with a familiar pair of horns materialized before him.

“No other’s, hm?” It said, hands on its hips.

Halsin’s eyes widened at the sight, “...Thaniel?!” He shouted in shock.

His best and only friend to ever grace his company stood there in front of his very eyes. When was the last time he had been so lucky? The teachings and training of the Circle had regrettably pulled Halsin away from seeking out Thaniel’s connection for some time. Immediately, Halsin set his hands upon the boy’s shoulders, lightly gripping them.

“It’s really you! Why are you...” he shook his head, “I’m so sorry, I have neglected you for too long. I hope you can forgive me.” He pleaded.

“But, why?” Thaniel replied, perplexed. “Don’t apologize for following the path that nature has set before you.” An assuring smile stretched his cheeks.

Halsin bit his lower lip to quell his heart from welling up over the sudden mixture of emotions. He then nodded and retrieved his hands. “Yes, you’re right.” He sighed, “I only wish I could have you at my side, always. It has become rather lonely on walks without your little shadow trailing behind me.”

Thaniel skipped over to a moss covered slab and sat upon it, crossing his legs and holding onto his ankles. He swayed back and forth, unable to keep still. “As do I, but we all must fall into the whirlwind of change at some point in our lives, and like the branch of a tree, there will be many more paths that you will have to decide to take for yourself. Nature is not-”

“Stationary.” Finished Halsin.

The two smiled at each other before sharing a giggle, still able to finish each other’s sentences. The young Druid then joined Thaniel for a seat, leaning forward with his hands clasped between his knees. Thaniel then set his head against Halsin’s shoulder, which had certainly grew in size the last he had seen him.

“Don’t fret, Hal, I have been trailing behind – I always will be. Wherever there is a breeze in the air, you will be content to know that it’s me checking in on you.” The boy said. “I know you will become a great Druid – I could see no other better to protect nature. You got this.”

Halsin’s lip quivered, breaking loose to the tears that rolled down his cheeks. He sniffled and wiped his eyes as he let the wave pass through, “Heh. Oh, how I have missed your kind words, thank you, truly. I will take that to heart as long as I live.”

He wrapped his arm around the boy, pulling him into a tighter hug before releasing him. “...Will you sit with me for a moment longer before I have to go? I think there is still time.” He asked.

With a sudden puff of glittery mist that startled Halsin, Thaniel teleported to the other side of the grotto that lead outside and stood there with his arms crossed, “I have a better idea…” a smirk crossed his lips.

Halsin knew of what he spoke of; a game of chase they had always enjoyed. “Are you sure?” He daringly asked. “I’ve become quite fast these days!” He continued, accepting the challenge. He then got up into a half crouched stance, holding his hands out beside him to pull nature's blessing from the soil below to conjure himself into the wildshape of a wolf. Once on all fours, he vigorously shook as if he were wet in order to acclimate himself to the form. Thaniel stood ready to run, awaiting Halsin to come after him.

“Let me be the judge of that!” The boy shouted, tauntingly.

With an elated howl, Halsin charged towards Thaniel, who swiftly darted away as the unmistakable shrill of a child’s laughter and the clacking of claws on stone faded into the distance.

His best friend.

Halsin is always so collected and reserved when in view of others. But what happened inside that portal with only the shadows to see?

This post now has a cathartic ending!

So you know how Tara sees Gale as a pet but is also Gale's pet, they have that sort of bond?

That is basically the relationship of Halsin and Thaniel. Thaniel may be stuck in the body of a child but he is still a fey, and fey like to kidnap children. Halsin got lucky with the child he found but like:

Thaniel totally found this random elf kid in the woods and he adopted it, and in turn it adopted him. Also, Going off this (thank you, @autistichalsin you are doing the Oak Father's work with your analysis of Halsin) Halsin's family was sick a great deal of the time.

Just, picture me this: child Halsin would often go off into the woods to try and finds plants and herbs to hopefully help his family. As an offering to the forest to wish him luck he would leave berries and offerings.

One day well wandering, trying to see what he could find Halsin catches a glimpse of a shadows following him in the dark. He follows it into a clearing of sunlight where the shadow stops and turns to him.

It is a child, about his age, covered in roots and the forest.

"May I have your name?" the child asks.

"Halsin Silverbough," he answers with out a moment of hesitation. Which he quickly regrets as he feels a shroud over his mind. Halsin had been warned before of fey in the woods and he had just fallen for one.

"May I have your name?" Halsin asks looking at the boy.

The fey child stares at him. "I shall, if you return to play with me once you have finished collecting your herbs."

"Alright!"

"My name is Thaniel."

You know how the Fey are often portrayed as tricksters? There’s even a comment in BG3 when you find Dolly Dolly Dolly about how the Fey can be tricksters.

Thaniel is a “young fey boy”, according to Halsin. One he has been friends with for a very long time.

I just love the idea that Thaniel would sometimes troll Halsin. Just a bit and in a friendly way! Like they had that sort of relationship where Halsin would be like “Thaniel is my best friend” and then three minutes and some fey mischief later he’s also like “That little shit.”

But always full of love!

(Listen, I love trickster fey. There isn’t really any indication that Thaniel is like that, but I just think it would be really funny if he was lol)
