Baldur's Gate is one of the oldest cities in the Sword Coast, the entire area that Baldur's Gate 3 takes place in. It has a very high population and is practically the capitol city of the area. Baldur's Gate is known for holding law and order to a high degree. It is a historied city where even gods themselves have warred. Baldur's Gate is known for being prosperous and as being a merchant city. It is south of Waterdeep, and has a distinct crescent moon shap wrapping around the harbor. Baldur's Gate is protected by the Flaming Fists, and for good reason, the city can be dangerous, and from it's very early beginnings has been home to pirates and unsavory types. The city is named after Balduran who sailed to the world and used his wealth to build the great wall around what became Baldur's Gate.

It’s also important to keep in mind when you mention the war between demons and devils, the difference between them. Devils are lawful evil, so they work with contracts to trade in mortal souls, and they’re generally human-like with horns, like the classical depiction of the devil, whereas demons are chaotic evil and more monster-like in appearance, they don’t deal in contracts and are more prone to carnage

For any that don't know, D&D 5E actually has a campaign called Descent Into Avernus, where your party actually ends up facing Zariel. Really cool.

Thanks. I don't know very much about D&D or Baldur's Gate. I made a drow half-elf and everyone was so mean to me and I didn't know why.
Thanks for the quick primer into the default world state at the beginning of chapter one. You did a fantastic job with the pacing and delivery of each bit, and it was a pleasure to listen to.

I'm not sure Vlaakith is technically a goddess. She definitely wants to ascend to godhood, but the Githyanki due to their enslavement by the Illithids refuse to recognize any god since they view that as a form of enslavement, so that stops her from outright attaining godhood.

@@TheNathanNAPALM She doesn't grant any powers or answer prayers, which a deity would have to do. She is definitely held in reverence by her followers, but is not actively worshiped except by a very small group of Githyanki; unless that has changed very recently.

the githzerai arent apposed to fighting the illithids. the two (githyanki and githzerai) used to be slaves of the illithids and everything you had said but after they escaped slavery and destroyed the illithids civilization and capability to enslave anyone else for the time being the two dissagreed on the whole genocide thing and fought a civil war where afterwards became the two separate factions yanki wanting to completely annihilate them and the zerai who thought they cant do us anymore harm yet but everyone should have the option to change. basically both lawful but yanki being evil and zerai being neutral. also a big part for the zerai was that now that they had freedom they could explore the possibilities the universe had to offer.

I think Wizards retconned some of the Bhaal absorbed in the lore. Like there is the comic also where Minsc even get's stoned. I think it could be cool to see some like Sarevok and Almessya in BG3 some form or an other. Oh yeah Bhaal also banged a Dragon because one of he's Children was a Black Dragon.
I have a theory that the dark urge origin is connected to Bhaal, or even the Bhaalspawn that you play as in BG 1 and 2, especially if their ascension is considered canon. I can't say for certain if this is the case, but the powerful compulsion to kill that the dark urge has is a very big hint in my eyes.
