Sword Coast

A small fisher village with the purpose of warning Baldur's Gate of pending attacks or pirate raids.

A beacon is located on the cliffs of the village. Ulgoth's Beard was named because the beacon was said to metaphorically singe the beard of a pirate named Ulgoth, whose attack was robbed of surprise by the beacon. There are few notable inhabitants of the hamlet except for an eccentric mage by the name Shandalar. The wizard lives in a floating house just east of the settlement, made from a converted Halruaan skyship. Shandalar is known in Baldur's Gate for both the quality and variety of the mushrooms his three daughters sell at the market.
