Seatower is one of the most fortified and formidable districts in Baldur’s Gate, standing watch over the Chionthar’s northern shore. Dominated by the hulking Seatower of Balduran, this coastal quarter is the military heart of the city, serving as the main stronghold of the Flaming Fist mercenary company. Linked to the mainland by a narrow, easily-defended causeway, the Seatower functions as barracks, dungeon, naval dock, and fortress. Warships patrol Gray Harbor under its shadow, and its armory is said to rival those of minor kingdoms. Despite its martial core, Seatower hums with life: blacksmiths and weaponsmiths, many from Parliament’s Distinguished Union of Metalworkers, ply their trade under heavy contracts. Soldiers unwind in riotous taverns and smoky festhalls, while merchants hawk goods to adventurers and officers alike. The Candlekeep Chandlery and Hissing Stones Bathhouse add a touch of elegance to this otherwise rugged bastion.

Heavy sea fog clings to the stone-clad streets of Seatower, where the clang of hammers and barked orders mix with briny wind and creaking moor lines. The district’s skyline is defined by the grim silhouette of the Seatower itself—an imposing, many-tiered fortress of gray stone rising above the crashing waves. Lanterns burn through mist, illuminating banner-draped taverns and ironmongers' forges glowing in the dusk. The scent of salt, sweat, and steel hangs thick in the air.
