Tucked against the northern edge of the Upper City, the Citadel Streets form a secluded and purpose-driven enclave dominated by law and order. This small, walled subdistrict is home to the Watch Citadel, the formidable bastion that serves as headquarters, barracks, and training grounds for the Watch—the elite constabulary responsible for maintaining peace and decorum in the Upper City. Unlike the bustling avenues of nearby districts, Citadel Streets is stern and regulated, its every stone echoing the presence of Baldur’s Gate’s guardians. Civilian access is limited, and the few surrounding buildings cater directly to the Watch’s logistical and operational needs: armories, mess halls, and disciplinary chambers. While it lacks the grandeur of the High Hall or the wealth of Manorborn, Citadel Streets is nonetheless a cornerstone of the city’s authority—both respected and resented for its role in enforcing the law among Baldur’s Gate’s privileged elite.

Visitors to Citadel Streets are greeted by stone-paved lanes and austere symmetry. The Watch Citadel rises in pale granite, its high walls topped with battlements and watchtowers fluttering banners of black and gold. The scent of oiled armor and drilled sweat hangs in the air, and the rhythmic clash of training swords rings out from inner courtyards. Lanterns burn with steady light, illuminating stern faces and well-kept streets beneath the ever-watchful eye of discipline.
