Removed the dead links to the no-longer-existing NW Vault.ign.com. Also, there\'s now a translation of the finale episode


* ''[[http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=Modules.Detail&id=5081 Exile of the West]]'' ("Exil à l'Est"): The Bastard, leaving an uncomfortable household after his father's death, travels to the city of Koln in Germany and walks into the middle of a conflict between a coven of witches and the sinister Inquisition. More of a prologue than anything else, this module has little direct connection to the remainder of the series but foreshadows several important plot elements.
* ''[[http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=Modules.Detail&id=4984&id=3984 The Bastard of Kosigan]]'' ("Retour à Kosigan"): The Bastard, returning home from his adventures in Koln, is asked to rescue his childhood sweetheart Alexandra from the dungeons of the Duke of Burgundy, which leads to the exposure of a complex plot to destabilize Kosigan.
* ''[[http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=Modules.Detail&id=4984&id=5931 Revelations]]'' ("Révélations"): The Bastard visits his mother's grave and learns dark secrets about the nature of history and religion.
* ''[[http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=Modules.Detail&id=4984&id=5931 Blood and Tears]]'' ("Du sang et des larmes"): War breaks out between Burgundy and France, and Kosigan is caught in the middle.
* ''By Verb and Blade'' ("Par le verbe et la lame"): The Bastard and his troops are now hidden in forest. They have few time to look for new allies for their struggle against France. This final episode (for now) is still untranslated.

The four modules translated into English are compiled [[http://neverwintervault.org/project/nwn1/module/bastard-kostigan-english-version at the new Neverwinter Vault.]]
