LOCATION
Blushing Mermaid
A notorious Lower City (Heapside/Bindle Street) tavern and inn famed across the Sword Coast for brawls, smuggling, and criminal networking; its life-size wooden mermaid sign bears severed, blackened hands as a grim statement about unpaid tabs. The Mermaid is a multi-level maze of shabby rooms and cellars, used as a hub by smugglers, fences, and criminal contacts; the Flaming Fist deliberately avoids interference, which locals read as corruption or quiet agreement. Aubrin Merrymiles is noted in some sources as a Guild contact at the Mermaid, and the inn functions as a ready-made underworld front-desk for parties seeking illicit services or information—at substantial personal risk. Despite danger, it remains operational due to utility and entrenched connections.
OPEN DOSSIER ↗LOCATIONEastway
High-traffic Lower City district anchored by the Basilisk Gate and serving as Baldur’s Gate's main overland entry point; packed with inns, porters, caravan suppliers, and opportunistic criminal elements, the neighborhood is a frontline for travel services and a favored site for plots involving arrivals, hires, and gate-adjacent complications.
OPEN DOSSIER ↗LOCATIONDrakon Tavern
Small, respectable inn and tavern historically located in Manorborn (Upper City) adjacent to the Gist family estate; described in late-14th century DR sources as a single-story stone building with a spacious taproom, multiple accommodation tiers (common rooms to private bedrooms), and a notable named-drink menu—useful as a discreet meeting place in the Upper City.
OPEN DOSSIER ↗LOCATIONCounting House
Fortress-like waterfront bank and currency-exchange in the Steeps with subterranean vaults extending deep beneath the harbor, defended by stone golems and water elemental wards; publicly run by Rakath Glitterbeard and simultaneously tied to the Honorable Order of Moneylenders and the Steeps' Guild undercurrent, blending legitimate banking and rumored storage for stolen treasures.
OPEN DOSSIER ↗NPCKopali Dunn
Named in post-raid material as the Guild agent who runs Hamhocks Slaughterhouse after the Flaming Fist operation—using the facility and its meat shipments for smuggling goods and messages. Sources present Kopali as the Guild’s local operator who capitalized on the post‑cult power vacuum to turn the slaughterhouse into a leverage point for illicit logistics. Current state: described as running the operation covertly for the Guild, making the facility a persistent pressure point for smuggling and illicit trade rather than the overt cult venue it once was.
OPEN DOSSIER ↗OTHERFury of the Fist
Prominent public statue outside the Seatower of Balduran in the Seatower neighborhood used as a common meeting landmark and political symbol. The statue has a history of theft and vandalism—most notably the theft of its hand in 1482 DR, an episode tied to the Guild and resulting in civic scandal—and locals still argue whether any replacement hand is authentic. Functionally it is a neutral rendezvous point, a place for protests or covert drops, and a useful stage for plots involving the Flaming Fist, the Guild, or public image. Current state: still used as the district’s default meeting marker with contested history regarding repairs and restoration. Prominent public statue located outside the Seatower of Balduran that functions as a common meeting point and political symbol in the Seatower neighborhood. The statue carries a recorded history of theft and vandalism (notably the theft of its hand in 1482 DR), an incident that produced civic scandal and allegations of Guild involvement; local debate persists over whether any replacement appendage is authentic. Functionally it is a neutral rendezvous point and visible stage for protests, covert drops, and scenes involving the Flaming Fist or the Guild. Current campaign usage treats it as a durable urban landmark whose contested repair history provides immediate hooks for intrigue and public spectacle.
