Baldur's Gate

Baldur's Gate, is the largest metropolis and city-state on the Sword Coast. It is a crowded city of commerce and opportunity, perhaps the most prosperous and influential merchant city on the western coast of Kasles. Despite its long-standing presence as a neutral power, the leaders of Baldur's Gate are members of the Lords' Alliance of powers in the west. A strong peace-keeping force known as the Watch, along with the presence of the powerful Flaming Fists mercenary company, kept the city generally peaceful and safe. This inherent sense of security allowed the Gate to keep a tolerant and welcoming attitude towards outsiders.
