Southwest Baldur's Gate is one of the areas from the World Map. |
Southwest Baldur's Gate is one of nine districts of the city of Baldur's Gate. This area is inhabited by a mix of common and rich townsfolk.
Buildings[]
Flaming Fist Headquarters[]
The Flaming Fist HQ is the biggest building in the district and the following NPCs can be found in or near it.
- Duke Eltan, one of the four grand dukes of Baldur's Gate.
- Scar, the second in command of the Flaming Fist, can be found by the gates.
- Tiax is standing outside across from the gates. He is a potential companion and a multiclass Cleric/Thief. He is obsessed with world domination and believes that Gorion's Ward is the one to help him realize his dreams.
Ye Olde Inn[]
The white building next to the Flaming Fist HQ is the Ye Olde Inn. The inn has a slime problem and the Bartender dies a violent death, so no room or drinks here.
Seven Suns[]
The large, rectangular, brown-colored building in front of the Ye Olde Inn is the Seven Suns compound. Scar will ask you to investigate the strange goings-on within the trading coster.
Merchants' League Estate[]
The other large rectangular building with the flat roof is the Merchants' League Estate. This building is not accessible if you killed Aldeth Sashenstar, a member of the Merchants' League, in the Cloakwood Lodge area. However, if you helped Aldeth instead, he'll be waiting outside the building and offer you a quest to help him figure out what's up with his business partners. This will allow the party to get inside and the reward for his quest is a magic sword, 100 gold, possibilities of help later, and a lot of XP.
Tavern and Inn[]
One of the three buildings in the southwest corner of the district is a generic tavern. Here is where you can find drinks and beds in all four room types. It is also the place to find Phandalyn, an overzealous paladin who will attack any party that enters whilst containing even one member with an Evil alignment. Killing him in self defense will cause the party to lose Reputation; the amount lost scales with current Reputation.
Sunin's Home[]
The central building of the three in the southwest corner of the district (the one with the bluish-green tiled roof) is the home of the mage Sunin who doesn't like intruders. He will drop a Ring of Wizardry, if he is killed.
General Stores[]
There are three general stores within the district. The first is the red building located behind the Seven Suns compound, across from the Ye Olde Inn. The second is the red building behind the Merchants' League Estate. The third one is in the southwest corner next to Sunin's Home.
Most of what is offered are basic armor and weapons, with only a few enchanted or magical ones among them. Of note would be a katana, a wakizashi, one Destroyer of the Hills and twenty-five arrows of piercing in the Enhanced Edition – while five large shields +1 are available in the original Baldur's Gate, together with several potions in one of the three shops.
All these stores demand one and a half of the regular item value, while they are paying only the half when selling items there. At least two of them offer identification of any magical item.
Potion Shop[]
The Potion Shop is the blue building located both behind the Seven Suns compound and the first general store.
Generic Homes[]
Clustered together in the central part of the district and located just south of the Flaming Fist Headquarters are four generic houses. In the biggest of the four, which has bluish-colored roof, you will find Wiven and potentially three other members of the Thieves' Guild.
Reputation Trap[]
If your Reputation is lower than 3 you will be attacked by a group of three Flaming Fist Enforcers, a Flaming Fist Scout and a Flaming Fist Battle Wizard. This group of soldiers will attack suddenly both on the streets and in the Flaming Fist Headquarters.
Transitions[]
You can reach the small portion of the southwestern part of West Baldur's Gate via this area, but the rest of West Baldur's Gate can't be reached from this area.
