Baldurs Gate 3

Abeloth's tent

Arcane Tower

The tower was once the residence of a wizard named Lenore De Hurst, who delved into arcane research, possibly of planar and time-altering magic. Lenore's legacy is preserved through projected journals, arcane writings, and mechanical guardians.

Archive

The Archive is Raphael’s personal repository of knowledge—especially his infernal contracts and soul-binding agreements. It holds records of every deal Raphael has ever made, including crucial lore about Hope, his rebellious prisoner, and even the Crown of Karsus. It's also tied to The Emperor, Orpheus, and the Netherbrain—hinting at how Raphael plans to usurp godhood for himself.

Astarion's Tent

Astarion’s tent stands out in camp, not just for its subtle opulence, but for its intentional presentation. It's not just a place to rest — it’s a stage, a retreat, and sometimes, a trap. Every detail is chosen with care, meant to impress or disarm.

Blighted Village

This location's former name was Moonhaven. A goblin guard refers to it as Bogrot, claiming that the former villagers have been dead for a hundred years. Moonhaven was founded by Selûnite settlers from the nearby temple,raided by Sharran forces and razed by Dark Justiciars led by Ketheric Thorm. The village was visited at some point by Hellriders from Elturgard whom the locals feared would threaten their independence. Once a peaceful settlement, the village now stands as a haunting testament to war and occupation — both a tactical battleground and a story-rich environment.

Group Camp

Karlach's Tent

It’s less a carefully arranged living area and more a campfire crash zone where a war-torn soul tries to rediscover what it means to live.

Lae’zel's Tent

It’s only as her arc progresses — and as trust deepens — that small signs of vulnerability may begin to appear: an item left unguarded, a less rigid layout, or even an offer to speak instead of spar. But make no mistake: her tent remains a soldier’s post, not a lover’s den or philosopher’s retreat.

Last Light Inn

Myconid Colony

Peaceful and reclusive, Myconids are not inherently hostile unless provoked or threatened. They communicate telepathically using spore clouds, which create a temporary mental connection. Myconids value harmony and balance, and live in circles (communities), each led by a Myconid Sovereign. They don't speak verbally. Instead, they use rapport spores to create a communal consciousness—almost like a temporary hive mind.

Shadowheart's Tent

Shadowheart’s tent is often nestled slightly apart from the others in camp, suggesting her solitary nature and her role as a somewhat guarded companion.

Wyrm's Rock Fortress
