Rivington

This self-contained village of anglers and river-powered mills is the first neighborhood encountered by travelers approaching from the south. Dominated by a local gang called the Rivington Rats, it's also a haven for smuggling thanks to its river access.
One of the busiest smuggling routes in Baldur's Gate runs between Rivington and Brampton. Anything moving by land to or from Rivington gets taxed at Wyrm's Crossing and again at the Basilisk Gate. To avoid paying that double fee, smugglers haul goods by night along the river between Rivington’s and Brampton's quays, hiding them in weighted nets dragged behind boats. Near the pier, underwater ropes are hooked to the nets. Other Guild members wait in a waterlogged tunnel that connects to a nearby building’s cellar to pull those caches under the pier, through the tunnel, and into the building.
From Brampton, the smuggled cargoes mingle with honest ones and make their way through Baldur's Gate to The Wide. The Guild’s river smugglers charge less than the toll collectors and the porters combined, making the smuggling route highly desirable for those bringing goods into Baldur's Gate from the south.
