port town of Baldur's Gate. Darkness has fallen upon the town and rumors of a
Thieves' Guild civil war brew beneath the streets of the city. Entering this
desperate situation, new to the world of adventuring, the players soon learn
that they stand in the way of one of the greatest threats ever to strike the
town of Baldur's Gate and the entire region of The Sword Coast. Black Isle
Studios, the creators of the Fallout(r) series, Planescape(r): Torment(tm) and
