The Soul of the City

Baldur's Gate is a city of stark contrasts:

• Wealth and Poverty: Opulent estates overlook crime-ridden slums.

• Order and Chaos: The strict rule of the Flaming Fist barely contains the chaos of the guild wars and the horrors of the Undercity.

• Ambition and Decay: It's a place where anyone can make their fortune, but that fortune is often built on a foundation of blood and dark secrets.

• It is not a city of shining knights and goodly kings. It is a city of merchants, sellswords, thieves, refugees, and survivors, all trying to carve out their piece of the dream that Balduran started, forever living in the long shadow of the murder god whose blood stains its very stones.
