Baldur's Gate
The
story takes place in TSR's best-selling FORGOTTEN REALMS. The western shore
along the Sea of Swords contains a multitude of ecologies and terrains including
mountains, forests, swamps, marshes, plains, cities, and ruins. Collectively
called the Sword Coast, it attracts adventurers and evil alike, and is the
backdrop for this epic adventure.
The region encompassed by this game is roughly bordered to the South by the
Cloud Peaks, the East by the Wood of Sharp Teeth, the West by the Sea of Swords,
and the North by Baldur's Gate (the largest and most affluent city in the
region).
Chaos threatens to overwhelm the Sword Coast. The state of Amn is under siege
to the south, the High Moor is being overrun in the north, and the region around
Baldur's Gate is in turmoil. In an area known for its ample resources, a
crippling shortage is slowly developing for the metal that is used throughout
the Realms for everything from swords to forks - iron. When iron ore reaching
the region is smelted, the resulting wares are plagued with brittleness such
that they crack and break with little more than normal use. What's worse,
trading caravans coming from all directions into Baldur's Gate are under
constant attack from bandits and cutthroats who loot not for gold and gems
(although they often take those too...), but for iron. The armed factions in
Baldur's Gate can scarcely keep themselves armed and the commoners are suffering
all the more. Without iron they cannot mend their tools or purchase plows - and
everyone knows that if they cannot farm or craft, they will starve come winter.

Welcome
to a world of intrigue, adventure and fierce combat. Every world has conflict.
Good and evil. Friend and foe. Safety and danger. In Baldur's Gate II: Shadows
of Amn™, you'll find yourself between these factions. This epic sequel will

steel and spell - determines your fate. In Baldur's Gate I, you defeated your
evil half-brother Sarevok and prevented your father Bhaal, the dead Lord of
Murder, from returning to the Forgotten Realms. Now, in Baldur's Gate II:
Shadows of Amn™, the stakes have become much higher. Will you resist the evil
within you, and forge a legend of heroic proportions? Or will you embrace your
monstrous inner nature, and carve a swath of destruction across the Realms?

opulence of the sinister capital city of Athkatla. Journey through the fierce,
