Location from baldurs-gate-3 by Larian Studios
The greatest port city on the Sword Coast — three districts of politics, crime, commerce, and corruption where the final confrontation with the Absolute plays out in streets full of people who have no idea what's coming.
Baldur's Gate is a city that runs on controlled chaos. The Upper City pretends to be civilized. The Lower City is where life actually happens. Rivington sprawls outside the walls, full of refugees the city won't let in. The Flaming Fist keeps order through intimidation, and the Guild keeps order through murder, and between them the city somehow functions. By Act 3, the city is in crisis. Steel Watchers — Banite constructs — patrol the streets enforcing Gortash's authority. The Guild wars with the Zhentarim for criminal supremacy. The temple district hides a murder tribunal. A vampire lord hosts a blood feast in the Upper City. And beneath it all, the Elder Brain is being hauled into position for the final transformation of every citizen into a Mind Flayer thrall. The city doesn't know it's living its last days.
