Find Gorion

Find Gorion is the protagonist's very first task, obtained directly after character generation and the Prologue intro to the Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition. It appears as Important Events in the journal's quest tab.

Walkthrough
Gorion can be found waiting at the sealed doors to the Candlekeep Library, on the building's southeastern walls. When spoken to, he urges his foster child to get ready to leave, "for there is no time to tarry!"

The answers he gives if asked for reasons or advice are obscure, and "you should know yourself well enough to purchase the gear you need […] so hurry off to the inn and speak with Winthrop."

It's advisable to first visit every building and speak with every inhabitant of the keep before actually buying equipment – more gold and various melee weapons, among other stuff, can be acquired by e.g. taking from chests and barrels or by solving a number of quests. When "ready to go", Gorion's Ward will receive a healing spell and paternal advice, and then the two leave their home.

It has become night when they wander down the Lion's Way – and something bad will happen, leading to the next Important Event, Go to the Friendly Arm Inn.
