It's a place where a sword for hire can find a rich patron, join a secret guild, pursue killers for a bounty, or aid desperate citizens. The city offers opportunities for good-hearted champions to fight against corruption and bring murderers to justice, while less moral mercenaries find a good price for their services. *Baldur's Gate* hosts the most reliable and ruthless market on the [[Sword Coast]]. Information, treasures, secrets, and souls can be bought or sold for the right price."
