Northeast Baldur's Gate is one of the areas from the World Map. |
Northeast Baldur's Gate is one of nine districts of Baldur's Gate city. This area is split by the inner wall that runs through the center of the city, and each side of the area can only be visited by traveling from the adjacent zone. E.g. , the east side of this area can only be visited by transitioning from the areas south of the city wall except southeast Baldur's Gate (east, south and southwest Baldur's Gate). By the same token, the western part of this area can only be visited from the southeastern part and the areas north of the wall.
West side[]
On the Streets
Brielbara is standing between the Blushing Mermaid and the Splurging Sturgeon. Her daughter has been cursed by Yago. Coran is the father of the child, and will leave the party if you refuse to aid Brielbara. Go to south Baldur's Gate and retrieve Yago's book of curses from the floating tavern. Meet her inside the Splurging Sturgeon with the book for 1000 XP, Reputation +1, 200 . Trying to get out of the quest makes her attack.
Narlen Darkwalk will be standing near the Splurging Sturgeon for the first of his tests once you've begun the Narlen's Heist quest. The Thief of the party must give warning as a Flaming Fist guard approaches. Once the warning is given the party should run and return to the Thieves' Guild. Killing the guard will result in a lesser reward. Failing to give warning or setting the guard on the thieves will make Narlen hostile next time he's encountered at the Thieves' Guild.
