A bit of a more melancholy scene from the DnD game.

Here, the party's Aasimar Bard, named Bard, mentions that they don't really have any memory of their past, at least not from before they were cast out from the lands of the Aasimar. They suspect they must have done something serious to become Fallen, but they don't know what it was. In a way, not having memories of those days is freeing.

On the other hand, Delsaur's entire life's research was destroyed in a fire, and his best friend was presumably murdered. For the longest time, Delsaur believed that this was a secret society's doing, like he was part of some grand conspiracy that he devoted his life to getting to the bottom of. Namely, he believed that Dragons weren't real, and stories were fabricated by the Kingdom officials to keep people in fear.

Delsaur genuinely believed he was doing the right thing by trying to prove that Dragons weren't real, even going so far as to, years ago, turn a village against its elders by convincing them that their village was not, in fact, protected by a dragon, rather, that the elders were simply hoarding people's money and food in the name of "offerings" to their draconic protector. This resulted in the offerings stopping, and the dragon, who was in fact real, to leave the village for good. What's more, that dragon? She was actually the party's Fighter, Jessica, who has been stuck in the form of a human for reasons unknown. But one thing she does know, upon hearing Delsaur's story: HE was the one who destroyed her relationship with the village. She hadn't known it was him at the time, only that it was some young Dragonborn who frequented a personal library on the Sword Coast. Jessica reveals that, as retaliation, she had been the one to burn down Delsaur's library where his research was housed.

Upon this revelation, Delsaur realizes that there was no secret society after all, and it was he who indirectly caused the destruction of his research after offending a real Dragon and ruining a whole village's bond with its protector. Even more gutting, this event caused his friendship with Jessica to be disrupted.

Which leads us to this fireside conversation. Would it have been better if Delsaur were in Bard's shoes, maybe having committed some fault but being unable to remember it, or have any lasting connection to those involved? Or is it better for him to finally understand the truth, no matter how painful?

Well, don't worry. Things come to a happy ending by the adventure's conclusion!
