Once synonymous with the entire Lower City, Heapside is a weathered but resilient subdistrict nestled between the Old Wall, the Steeps, and Eastway. A former middle-class enclave, it now bears the scars of Baldur’s Gate’s evolution—its cobbled lanes echoing the cries of past revolts, most notably the Tax Riots that divided the city into “Upper” and “Lower.” Today, Heapside is a working-class quarter clinging to modest respectability. Its rows of leaning tenements, cluttered shopfronts, and trade stalls draw craftsmen, dock laborers, and vendors catering to the bustling needs of the Lower City. Though no longer the city’s safest haven, it retains an air of weary vigilance, with neighbors watching each other's backs amid the press of growing crime and Flaming Fist patrols. Beneath its streets, the infamous Heapside Prison festers in the Undercity—a dim symbol of authority’s tightening grip.
Heapside appears as a crowded jumble of slate-roofed buildings, brick alleys, and flickering lanterns strung across muddy streets. Smoke curls from chimneys, mingling with the scent of fish oil, roasted chestnuts, and damp stone. The district hums with activity, its people quick-eyed and practical, their boots worn but purposeful. Grime clings to every surface, but so does grit.
