The Forgotten Realms [Fan Version]

Baldur's Gate, a bustling metropolis on the Sword Coast, is a crescent-shaped city hugging Gray Harbor. Primarily human, it's a hub of commerce and diverse faiths, including Gond, Tymora, and Umberlee. The city is divided into the wealthy Upper City, the busy Lower City, and the sprawling Outer City. The Upper City boasts grand structures like High Hall and the Watch Citadel, while the Lower City, built on bluffs, teems with trade and taverns like the Elfsong. A network of sewers and hidden tunnels lies beneath. The city is ruled by the Council of Four and the Parliament of Peers, with the Flaming Fists maintaining order. Trade flourishes, with imports of stone and exports of dyes and fish. The city's history is marked by its founding by Balduran, a tax revolt, and various conflicts, including the recent Absolute Plot. The city's coat of arms, a ship on calm waters, reflects its maritime trade and peaceful neutrality.
