Note: When playing the original Baldur's Gate complete with its expansion Tales of the Sword Coast, all farmers go by the name Lahl instead, who actually is a specific farmer from the Isle of Balduran. This is not the case when playing the original game without its expansion or the Enhanced Edition.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

The game files use – partially – a different spelling for the town's name: "Nashkell". This can, for example, be seen on the road signs between Beregost and Nashkel. The established name, however, uses only a single "l".^[1] Interestingly the wrong spelling was carried over to the German translation of the game, although the town in German lore is spelled the same way as in English.
