The Forgotten Realms [Fan Version]

The Upper City, Baldur's Gate's Old Town, stands as an enclave of affluence north of the ancient wall, a stark contrast to the Lower City's clamor. Grand estates house patriarchal nobles, their tranquil, well-kept streets reflecting an air of aloof superiority stemming from historical and economic dominance. Though seemingly serene, the city teems with the discreet activity of personal retainers, lines of servants, and skilled artisans catering to the elite. Once Gray Harbor, predating Heapside, it remains divided by Balduran's wall, a silent testament to past tax disputes and averted bloodshed. The Upper City maintains its secure, beautiful facade, a bastion of wealth and influence within the sprawling port-metropolis.

The Upper City features elegant mansions adorned with intricate stonework, lush gardens, and wide, cobblestone streets lined with trees. The atmosphere is serene, with the sounds of distant laughter and the occasional clink of fine glassware from the opulent homes.
