Baldur's Gate is a fictional city in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting of the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game.

The city was detailed in Volo's Guide to the Sword Coast, published in 1994, and provided the main setting to the computer game, Baldur's Gate, released in 1998.

Long ago, Balduran sailed to the fabled Anchorome and returned with great wealth which was used to build the wall around what became Baldur's Gate.

Baldur's Gate is ruled by four grand dukes, the Council of Four.

The rulers include Duke Eltan, leader of the Flaming Fist, Belt, a powerful warrior and divine spellcaster, Liia Jannath, a mage, and Entar Silvershield, the richest man in Baldur's Gate, but also a strong warrior in his own right.

Baldur's Gate contains a very effective Thieves Guild, as well as a powerful and honest Merchant's League.

Various thieves guilds have risen and fallen in Baldur's Gate including Xantam's Guild and the Hands of Glory.

A representative of virtually any illegal group operating in Baldur's Gate can usually be found somewhere on the premises.
