Baldur's Gate is a major mercantile hub on the Sword Coast, divided into the Upper City, Lower City, and Outer City. It is governed by the Council of Four and known for its tolerance, security via the Watch and Flaming Fist, and vibrant trade. Its weather is often drizzly with heavy fog, and it features a complex system of aqueducts and sewers beneath the streets.

An influential member of the Council of Four seeks discreet help to root out a growing thieves' guild conspiracy threatening the city's stability.

A bustling, rain-slicked city with stone walls rising around narrow, winding streets, crowded marketplaces, and a busy gray harbor shrouded in mist and the scent of sea brine.
