Sword Coast

Eastway pulses with the raw energy of Baldur’s Gate’s Lower City. The streets are narrow and winding, their cobblestones slick with rain and crowded with bustling merchants, hurried dockworkers, and wary travelers. Buildings rise unevenly on either side, a mix of leaning timber structures and stone facades smudged with soot and grime. The air is thick with competing scents—freshly baked bread from street vendors, damp wood from the docks, and the tang of sweat and salt. Lanterns hang low, their flickering light casting long shadows over alleyways where figures linger out of sight. The murmur of conversation blends with distant shouts and the occasional clang of metal. Amidst the chaos, Eastway carries a tangible intensity—a district alive with trade and intrigue, where opportunity and danger walk hand in hand. It’s a place where fortunes can be made or broken in the span of a heartbeat.

It acts as the city’s primary gateway to the Outer City and the wider world, catering to travelers and residents alike. Its profusion of inns, porters, and caravan supplies makes it a bustling hub in the heart of Baldur’s Gate. With the Basilisk Gate in the east and the eastern part of the Gray Harbor in the west, many travellers, merchants, adventurers, dock workers, porters and alike can be found here.
