Baldur's Gate

Baldur's Gate is another major city on the Sword Coast, located to the south of Waterdeep. It is a hub for trade and commerce and is known for its massive walls, its infamous criminal underworld, and its many wealthy merchants and noble families. Baldur's Gate is ruled by a powerful merchant oligarchy of "Dukes", who maintain their power through a mix of wealth, force, and alliances. The city has a reputation for being a dangerous place, with many powerful factions vying for control of its streets and alleys. Despite this, Baldur's Gate remains a center of trade and culture on the Sword Coast, with many famous scholars, artists, and thinkers calling it home.

Baldur's Gate has a long and storied history, marked by many conflicts and struggles. One of the most notable events in the city's history was the rise of the Dead Three, a group of evil deities consisting of Bane, Bhaal, and Myrkul. The Dead Three gained a significant following in Baldur's Gate during the 14th century, and their cultists terrorized the city for many years.

The rise of the Dead Three led to a number of major conflicts within the city, including battles between the cultists and the city's various factions and mercenary companies. The Flaming Fist, in particular, played a major role in battling the cultists and restoring order to the city. In the end, the cult of the Dead Three was defeated, but their legacy continued to haunt the city for many years to come.
