Sword Coast, Faerûn

Cliffgate is a fortified gateway situated along the southeastern portion of Baldur's Gate's outer wall. It serves as a passageway connecting the Lower City to the isolated district of Tumbledown in the Outer City. The gate also provides access to the cliffs overlooking the northern shore of the River Chionthar, including the statue known as Balduran Looks Out to Sea. Its strategic location facilitates movement between the city's core and its peripheries, making it a vital conduit for both commerce and pilgrimage.

Cliffgate is characterized by its robust stone architecture, featuring heavy iron-bound doors and fortified battlements. The gate's design reflects its dual purpose as both a defensive structure and a ceremonial passage. From its vantage point, one can view the rugged cliffs descending to the River Chionthar, with the statue of Balduran standing sentinel over the waters. The surrounding area is marked by well-trodden paths leading to Tumbledown, frequented by mourners and pilgrims alike.
