I first played the game with a Tav, and I loved every minute of it, but I never put much thought into her as a character. When I finished the game, I started a new one with a Dark Urge.

Playing as a Durge made me start writing fanfic for the first time in decades.

Ta'av (she/her) vs me (she/her)!

Ta'av is... not thrilled, and she will make that known. She'll put some effort into it only if she likes the person who asked her. Otherwise, he's getting a small gathering at the Blushing Mermaid and a lukewarm beer. #tavqotd

Feast your eyes on this gorgeous portrait of Gortash and my Dark Urge, Ta'av, by the wonderful @galatine113.bsky.social! ❤️‍🔥 I love it so much.
You can read about them on AO3, here: archiveofourown.org/series/4043929 #durgetash #bg3

(pats Ta'av on the head) this baby can make the biggest, saddest, most captivating doe eyes (works equally well for "how could you?" and "who, me?") #tavqotd

Ta'av says yes even as all her friends are staring at her in shock. She lets him lead and feels a little overwhelmed by the sense of familiarity and how disarming he is. When she starts feeling more sure of herself, she begins asking questions about their past and tries to remain wary. #durgetash

#tavQOTD How do you pronounce your Tavs'/Durges' name(s)?

Ta'avrathim is Tah-ahv-rah-theem. Long A "ah" sounds, like Bhaal; "im" like seraphim.

Although the number of people who use her full name can be counted on one hand.

#tavqotd post your Tav/Durge and let your oomfs make headcanons about them

my Durges, Elegy and Ta'av!

Congrats on 800!! You know my Durge, Ta'av, of course 🥰 random lore: the gold grafted onto her horns was designed and made by Gortash as a sign of their devotion (or co-dependency, if you prefer). He has an elaborate scar that she made in return...

How are you going to say no to this face? (My Durge, Ta'av)

3) The Bloomridge Park Book Brigade (also known as the smut symposium). Enough said.

I'm going to highlight some of my favorite, very minor NPCs:

1) Invoker of Bhaal Horriss. He says so much in a few lines. I just know he was following Durge around with those puppy dog eyes, begging for scraps (...of humanoid flesh). Such a fun (and totally fucked up) lore drop.
