Baldur's Gate 3 is set in The Forgotten Realms, the canonical setting of the tabletop role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons. One of the friendly faces that shows up in Baldur's Gate 3 is Volo, an enigmatic traveling storyteller who causes some chaos at camp, disappears, then reappears again in Act 3. Volo might seem like a silly character, but he's got a rich background in both Dungeons & Dragons and the Baldur's Gate series, achieving renown far and wide thanks to his travels and books.
