Tʜᴇ Fᴏʀɢᴏᴛᴛᴇɴ Rᴇᴀʟᴍs [Fᴀɴ Vᴇʀsɪᴏɴ]

The Outer City, a sprawling adjunct to Baldur's Gate, exists beyond the protective walls, a chaotic confluence of necessity and desperation. It's a realm of rough-hewn stalls, livestock pens, and makeshift dwellings, home to those barred from the inner wards. Here, merchants dealing in goods deemed unsuitable for the Lower City mingle with refugees, transient laborers, and those skirting the city's rigid laws. The lack of formal governance breeds a volatile environment, where trade and survival are intertwined with the constant threat of violence. The Outer City serves as a stark contrast to the relative order within the walls, a testament to the city's growth and the social strata it enforces.
