Sword Coast, Faerûn

The Church of Last Hope is a solemn sanctuary located in the Twin Songs district of Baldur's Gate's Outer City. Unlike other temples in the area, it is not dedicated to any specific deity or pantheon. Instead, it serves as a refuge for those overwhelmed by despair, depression, or terminal illness. The church offers solace to the despondent, providing a space for reflection and, for some, a dignified end through the "ritual of reverie." This ritual, offered to those who have lost all will to live, is shrouded in mystery and has sparked controversy among locals. Some view it as a merciful release, while others suspect darker, possibly malevolent, undertones. The church's practices have led to debates about its true nature and intentions.

Constructed from unadorned stone, the Church of Last Hope exudes a stark and somber atmosphere. Its large, plain structure lacks the embellishments common to other places of worship. Inside, the decor remains minimalistic, with subdued lighting and sparse furnishings. The air is often filled with melancholic music, enhancing the chapel's morose ambiance. Despite its simplicity, the church's presence is profound, offering a space for contemplation and, for some, finality.
