The Seven Suns

The Seven Suns is a quest in the city of Baldur's Gate.

When you are about to enter the city from Wyrm's Crossing, a Flaming Fist officer called Scar will ask to speak to Gorion's Ward, and hires the party to investigate the Seven Suns compound, located in the southwestern section of the city.

Entering the Seven Suns building, an unnamed merchant will approach the party and, if questioned, advise them to leave immediately, just as he is doing, because the establishment has been overrun by "shapeshifters."

When this is reported to Scar in the nearby Flaming Fist Castle, he offers to double your wage if you will "destroy this infestation of monsters."

All occupants of the compound are doppelgängers. When disguised as merchants, they earn only 15 xp, but drop one item of significant value, such as a Gold Necklace, a Garnet or a Ziose Gem. If provoked into revealing themselves as doppelgängers, they earn 420 xp, but drop nothing.
