In the broad, caravan-choked lanes of Blackgate, Garynmor Stabbes serves as a vital artery in Baldur’s Gate’s outer logistics. This location is a haven for incoming merchants and travelers, offering a secure and well-regarded place to board animals before seeking lodging inside the city proper. The staff here, known for efficiency and blunt honesty, maintain a rigorous schedule, facilitating rapid transfer of mounts between Blackgate and the affiliated Stonyeyes site. Beyond mere stabling, the Blackgate branch is where city residents often rent mounts for temporary use—an innovation that has gained popularity among adventuring companies and courier guilds. No menagerie here, but plenty of muscle, both beast and bipedal, keeps the operation running like clockwork. City Watch even turns a blind eye to the fact that more than one clandestine rendezvous has taken place behind the stable walls.

Situated near the Black Dragon Gate, Garynmor’s Blackgate stables bustle with constant movement—snorting oxen, stomping warhorses, and teamsters yelling over the din. The stables are stoutly built from dark timber and capped with weathered slate tiles, their walls marked with Garynmor’s sigil: a golden hoofprint encircled by laurel. The smell of wet earth, horse sweat, and leather hangs thick in the air. Inside, rows of reinforced stalls are kept tidy despite the heavy traffic, while out back, a wide yard serves for quick grooming and cart unloading. Lanterns on poles provide light well into the evening, their glow casting long shadows across piles of tack and travel crates. Blackgate’s grit and grind pulse through the place, making it a practical stop—but one with a reputation for discretion and swift service.
