Baldur's Gate's page

  1. Leaving Candlekeep

    You had grown up in Candlekeep under the protection of the mage Gorion. When killers began hunting you, he hurried you away from home. An armored stranger ambushed you on the road, demanding that Gorion surrender you. Gorion refused and died defending you. You escaped into the wilderness, pursued for reasons he had never explained.

  2. Nashkel Mines

    You traveled south into a region gripped by an iron shortage and attacks on trade. Which companions traveled with you depended on your choices. In the Nashkel mines, you discovered that Mulahey and his kobolds had deliberately poisoned the ore. You defeated Mulahey and found correspondence linking the sabotage to a wider conspiracy operating along the Sword Coast.

  3. Bandits And Cloakwood

    You traced the conspiracy through a bandit camp, reaching it by infiltration or force. Evidence led into Cloakwood, where the Iron Throne controlled a hidden mine. You killed its overseer, Davaeorn, breaking a vital part of the operation. Flooding the mine and arranging the enslaved miners' escape were choices you faced. The trail now pointed toward Baldur's Gate itself.

  4. Return To Candlekeep

    You investigated the Iron Throne in Baldur's Gate, then followed its leaders to Candlekeep at Duke Eltan's request. Gorion had left a letter naming you a child of Bhaal, the dead god of murder; whether you read it before your arrest depended on you. You were arrested for the leaders' deaths, whether you had killed them or not. Tethtoril helped you escape through catacombs infested with doppelgangers.

  5. Sarevok's Coronation

    You returned to find Sarevok, Gorion's killer, poised to become a grand duke. He intended to provoke war with Amn and use mass murder to claim Bhaal's power. You gathered evidence, entered his inauguration, and fought the doppelgangers attacking the remaining dukes. With at least one duke alive, you exposed Sarevok and cleared your name. He fled beneath the city.

  6. The Temple Of BhaalThe ending

    You pursued Sarevok through the Thieves' Maze into the Undercity. In Bhaal's ruined temple, you confronted your half-brother, another child of the murder god. You defeated him and ended his bid for godhood. His body crumbled as Bhaal's essence departed. You remained alive, with the war plot broken and your own divine parentage revealed, but no settled answer to what that inheritance meant.
