That's a fun idea.
Suppose your character was a young Harper, apprenticed or otherwise attached to Gorion... determined to prove your worth to the organisation. You could
- Battle newly-awakened evils in the Sword Coast, uncovering the sinister and determined new Cult of Cyric
- Search out Zhentarim and their insane schemes as part of your apprenticeship
- Meet a young Khalid and Jahiera, perhaps even working with them - Against Baron Ployer's slave network, perhaps?
- Meet BG2 characters yet to rear their heads; the Harpers Galvarey and Dermin Courtierdale
- Tie up loose ends - like who was Rielev before you discovered his brain in a jar? How was Alianna, Gorion's friend and lover, seduced into worshipping Bhaal?
And, eventually, you'd be caught up in the battle between the Harpers and the Bhaalite priesthood, ending up with the guardianship of a young infant girl, and with a long, perilous journey to safety ahead of you - finally answering the question of how Imoen ended up in Candlekeep?
