Sword Coast

Rivington, the outermost district of Baldur's Gate, sprawls across the banks of the Chionthar River like a hardworking sentinel. The village is alive with the sounds of bustling trade—merchants haggling in open-air markets, the creak of wagons laden with goods, and the rhythmic clang of a distant smithy. Timber-framed houses with slate roofs cluster along cobbled streets, their windows glowing warmly despite the rough, industrious air of the settlement. The river itself glimmers in the sunlight, its waters alive with small fishing vessels and ferries transporting people to and from the city's main gates. Smoke drifts lazily from chimneys, blending with the earthy scent of the riverbank and the tang of freshly tanned leather from nearby workshops. Though Rivington is a hive of activity, its proximity to Baldur's Gate means a constant flow of travelers and rumors. Here, the boundary between city life and untamed wilds feels razor-thin.

As the only district of Baldur's Gate, it lies on the southern shore of the River Chionthar, positioned across from Wyrm’s Crossing. It is a self-contained village which boasts anglers and river-powered mills. Smugglers frequent the district, utilizing the river to transport goods to Brampton and beyond. Many refugees from Elturel can be found here, which are not allowed to Wyrm's Crossing.
