Baldur's Gate is a sprawling, fortified city perched on the western coast of Faerûn, astride the River Chionthar where it meets the Sea of Swords. Divided into three main districts—the opulent Upper City, the bustling Lower City, and the impoverished Outer City—the metropolis serves as a vital hub for trade, politics, and intrigue. The city is governed by the Council of Four and maintained by the mercenary Flaming Fist. Known for its wealth, corruption, and constant movement, Baldur’s Gate is a place where a pauper might strike it rich—or vanish in an alley. Its streets teem with opportunity and danger in equal measure.
From afar, Baldur’s Gate is a formidable sight: high granite walls ring the city, interrupted by massive gates and flanked by watchtowers. Inside, the Upper City gleams with clean stone roads, manicured gardens, and grand estates, while the Lower City sprawls in a chaotic mesh of narrow alleys, markets, and taverns. Smoke from forges and cookfires hangs over the rooftops, mingling with the salt air.
