enjoy the fire and let's journey to the

forgotten realmsyour story begins in the citadel of

candle keep

nestled atop the cliffs that rise from

the sword coast

it's the year 1368 dal reckoning

which is just over 100 years before the

story of baldur's gate 3 will begin

within this fortress are halls of

knowledge filled with the most

comprehensive collection of writings

on the face of faerun you have spent

most of your 20 years of life within the

keeps walls

under the tutelage of the sage gorion

who's acted as a father and a mentor to

you

he raised you on a thousand towels of

battles and tragedies

and heroes and villains but there's one

storyhe would not tell and that is of your

true heritage

you have been told that yo are an

orphan and that your past is largely

unknown

but deep down you feel there is much

more to it than that

one day gorion started acting distant

from you you can tell

something is weighing heavily upon him

uncharacteristically interrupting you

from your daily chores in an agitated

state

he tells you to equip yourself for

travel for you are to go on an

unexpected journey

a journey that he will not tell you what

for but it sounds urgent

as you gather supplies you are

approached by some residents of theasking if you are the ward of gorian and

stating things such as

you don't look dangerous one of the

residents of the keep even attempts to

kill you

but meets a grave end you know

something

very troubling is going on

why would someone attack you you're

just

a young ward learning the ways of the

world

you then learn from a guard of the keep

that there is a serious iron shortage

going on

creating tension between the city of

baldur's gate in the wealthy neighboring

nation of am

iron is an extremely valuable resource

in this setting and it would be similar

to usPM

presently experiencing something such

an oil shortage

feeling as prepared for your journey as

you possibly can be given the

circumstances

you head back to gorion who tells you

that we must leave immediately

that if we're ever separated from each

other you should make your way to the

friendly arm

inn where you will meet khalid and

jahira whom you can trust

not long after leaving the keep you find

yourself in the middle of an

ambush where a mysterious armored

figure

the leader of these banditsryan yells for you to run away as he

relentlessly attackS and holds back the

bandits

only to be eventually cut down by their

leader

disturbed frightened and confused you

have escaped but you are now

alone and cannot head back to the keep

for you will be denied

entrance without the influence of gorian

to circumvent the steep entry fee

knowing no other place to go you decide

to heed gorion's words and head to the

friendly arm

inn and seek help not long after you

head out your childhood friend and

fellow orphan

immoen joins your company seeking to

help

upon reaching the outside of the end and

having to lie about your true identityfor fear of what it may bring you and

emoon enter the end

and meet khalid and jahira although they

offer no solutions as to why you are

being attacked

they do offer their companionship after

hearing even more about the current iron

crisis

and the severity of it you decide to

investigate and you

and your newfound party head to the

mines to the south near a town called

nashgal

nashkel is Currently gathering up

adventures to help solve the iron crisis

and this may offer some insight as to if

there is a link between the iron

shortage and what seems to be a bounty

on your head

after successfully sabotaging the mineand learning that it was in fact under

the control of the iron throne

you and your party decide to head to the

city of baldur's gate to get to the

bottom of this

[Music]

within the city you find the iron throne

headquarters and you head inside

through some clever words and

eventually

a hostile encounter

you end up learning that actual proof of

the organization's involvement with the

iron crisis

was taken by one of the regional leaders

who is currently back in candle keep for

an important meeting

you and your party decide to seek out

duke elton the leader of the flaming

fist

which is a mercenary company that

servesas the city's guard

you tell the duke what you have learned

and he decides to give you a rare and

valuable book

which will serve as the entry fee for

you to get back into candle keep where

this mysterious meeting is being held

after traveling back to candle keep

which is south of baldur's gate

you head into the citadel's library

seeking new information

and you end up finding a prophecy

written by the ancient seer alondo

foretelling how the offspring created in

the time of troubles by the dead god

ball

the lord of murder will sow chaos until

only one remains to become the new lord

of murder
