Baldur's Gate Wiki

The Candlekeep Inn is the inn of Candlekeep in Baldur's Gate. The innkeeper, a portly gent named Winthrop, buys and sells items and knows about the latest rumors.

Gorion's Ward stands just outside the inn at the beginning of the Prologue, ready to do what the latest journal entry advises.

Involvement[]

Prologue:[]

Two tutors tell their lessons if spoken to; an old mage on occasional visit from Beregost warms himself near the fireplace, waiting for someone to run an errand for him; Winthrop makes his usual jokes before opening the store; and in the side room, Thurston and Lovey, a wealthy noble couple, can be convinced that it's better to "leave [their] finery under lock and key"[1] instead of presenting their wealth to Candlekeep's monks not used to such. If that doesn't work, Thurston can still be charmed – to receive a trifle of 20 Gold Piece IMISC0700000 Item icon BG1Gold Piece

from him.

Note: Both Thurston options yield a reward only in the Enhanced Edition; see his page for details.

Upstairs, among some sleeping folks, Christian of Waterdeep and Quincy show the typical, condescending behavior of noblemen speaking with adventurers – or is it rather that of anybody who got disturbed in their rooms?

Services[]

Winthrop offers all four qualities of rooms, as well as an average number of average drinks. He buys most armor and weapons for half their value and, in addition, gems and miscellaneous items—with a depreciation rate of 20%—and has some quite hard-to-find items himself to sell. Rogues would need a Pick Pockets skill of thirty to successfully steal from him. The Candlekeep Inn does not restock for Chapter Six.

Rumor Journal
Only during Prologue

"I heard there's some sort o' trouble in Nashkel. Somethin' sinister has been moving about in the mines. I only heard secondhand though. Somebody ought to find out for sure."[2]

"Troubles in the Region: Bandit Problems

There are rumors of something disrupting operations in the Nashkel mines, contributing to the iron shortage.
"

Only during Prologue

"Lots of trouble down in Nashkel. Monsters or some such are said to be killing the workers at the Nashkel mines. Bad news for smiths, or anyone that needs tools to make a living."[3]

"It's been really weird these past few months. Iron's been going bad, falling apart almost if it were rustin' for no particular reason. From what I hear, most o' this "bad iron" comes from the mines at Nashkel. Can't trust those Amnian miners; probably some scheme they've come up with."[4]

Only during Prologue

"Troubles in the Region: Iron Crisis

Iron from the Nashkel mines is nearly useless when smelted. People suspect that the denizens of Nashkel are doing it intentionally, as part of some grandiose plot in the service of Amn.
"

"Iron's so scarce these days, you'd think it was as valuable as gold. Not a good thing, not a good thing at all."[5]
