The Upper City of Baldur’s Gate, also called the Old Town, rests serenely atop the bluffs north of Balduran’s Wall—a deliberate divide that separates privilege from the bustle below. Once the site of Gray Harbor, older than even Heapside, this district has long been the preserve of the city's elite: the patriarch families whose wealth, land, and lineage have shaped Baldur’s Gate for generations. Cobblestone lanes wind between immaculate mansions and manicured courtyards, patrolled not by the Flaming Fist but by private guards in livery, silent and watchful. Here, influence moves behind curtained windows and at gilded dinner tables, where power is inherited more than earned. Artisans of unmatched skill maintain the noble houses, while footmen, governesses, and stewards go about their roles with quiet precision. Though outwardly tranquil, the Upper City simmers with polite rivalries and veiled schemes—a cloistered world built on the illusion of order and the weight of gold.

Sunlight glints off polished stone walls and slate-tiled roofs as wide avenues curve through elegant estates draped in ivy and fine ironwork. Carriages roll past marble fountains and flowering hedges, while uniformed guards nod to powdered nobles on strolls. Beyond, the jagged shadow of Balduran’s Wall looms, separating this realm of refinement from the chaos below.
