That's a tough call. Technically, if the lore out does not state if they are alive or dead, it would be up to the authors that created the characters and/or more unofficially speaking, the Novels that deal with the characters.

However, I can say that whatever the video game cannon is, it is not officially linked to this game made by a completely different company and a different era.

However, when materials are cross-promoted and approved by WoTC, certain things (like the Neverwinter Novel Series and the Neverwinter D&D source book) can be considered cannon, so whatever has been listed in those things (that I just mentioned in parenthesis) do count for this video game world.


The rest is in developer limbo to be done at a later time or to define at a later time or can be done within legal constraints (no actual real life people) in the upcoming Foundry User Generated Content and could if popular enough and approved by WotC be made future video game cannon.

After all, the lich "Queen Valindra" was done so well in this video game's development, WotC took her likeness and lore and now made that the official cannon for her! Kudos once again Cryptic Developers!

Questions like this can be found on my second section or post in my FAQ:

Do I need to own or have played Neverwinter Nights or Neverwinter Nights 2? When does it take place? Is the gameplay the same?

No. The game does not require you to be familiar with or have played any of the Neverwinter Nights games, and will have a completely different User Interface from that game and many MMO games.

The setting takes place in the Forgotten Realms 100 years after a catastrophic event called the "Spellplague." Faerum and the way all attack and non-attack powers adventurers use (especially magic) has drastically changed. While Neverwinter escaped most of the physical damage from the Spellplague for approximately seventy five years, an eruption (of the volcano Mount Hotenow) razed the city, and the city is seeing a new Neverwinter attempted to be rebuilt since ten years ago. However, monstrous creatures have settled in the "ruins" of neverwinter (Such as the Many-Arrows Orc Tribe,) and there is only a small portion "recovered" due to (the open lord of Waterdeep) Lord Neverember, the "self proclaimed protector and rebuilder of Neverwinter."




Where does the game take place? Is it only in the City of Neverwinter?

Like another epic D&D video game series (Baldur's Gate,) the game will take place around the namesake city in its title (that's Neverwinter, not Baldur's Gate,) and its surrounding Sword Coast.

There are naturally quite a few different areas outside of Neverwinter's surroundings we would like to look into, and be able to bring to life. However, I think that focusing on this one area, and the myriad of adventures that you can find there, will make for a better game at release.

We'll be talking some more about the different areas in the game as we move closer to launch. Some of them (such as Vellosk) you'll recognize immediately from the source material. Other areas however, you will find have been created specifically for Neverwinter.

Thanks,

Unfortunately, some-time after the events of NWN2, Nasher perished during the Spellplague when Mount Hotenow erupted, killing him and the royal family. Keep in mind, according to source material, it has actually been over 150 years since Nasher took the throne of Neverwinter as King. In recent times, Lord Dagult Neverember from Waterdeep (the open-lord of Waterdeep), who was also an iligitimate heir of Nasher's, went up and claimed the ruins of Neverwinter and named himself Lord Protector. The Neverwinter we will be playing in is what Lord Dagult has helped restore.
