Ulgoth's Beard
Ulgoth's Beard is a hamlet on the north bank of the river Chionthar, within sight of the Sea of Swords. It is home mostly to poor shepherds and fishermen. The purpose of the settlement is to warn Baldur's Gate of pending attacks or pirate raids.
The beacon was located on the cliffs at the mouth of the river. Ulgoth's Beard is named because the beacon is said to metaphorically singe the beard of a pirate named Ulgoth, whose attack was robbed of surprise by the beacon.
To travel to Ulgoth's Beard, one is required to navigate rolling grassy hills or arrive by boat as there is no road. Ulgoth's Beard also has no tavern or inn. The closest thing to a tavern is a local who sells poor quality home-made ale.
