Synopsis:
Player attempted to take the Helmet of Balduran, but in the process, awakened the spirit of the dragon called Ansur.
Ansur's spirit animates his fallen bones and takes control over the player and speaks using their mouths. He is speaking to the Emperor, who you discover is actually Balduran, Baldur's Gate's founder. Ansur and the Emperor discuss their past, and the dragon attacks the players, convinced they are the emperor's thralls.
How to trigger:
Teleport to S_WYR_HelmetOfBalduran_36a4f0eb-1ac7-4fc5-87f5-f74ec49afec0 and try to pick up.
