Introduction
I
n the sky above Baldur's Gate, a full moon peaks
from between dark summer clouds. Its ghostly light
shines, haunting and bright, upon the high flat roof of
the Iron Throne’s guild headquarters. A bolt of
lightning strikes nearby as a sputtering figure
emerges. Exhausted and cowering, he pushes
through the heavy door which serves as the roof’s
access, and it swings shut behind him.
He is a guardsman, clad in half-plate and a simple horned
helm, but his weapon has been lost or discarded in the chaos
below. Gasping for air in the humid night, he falls to his
knees.
Then, there is a sudden and tremendous crash - the door
smashes into a shower of splinters as an enormous figure
bursts through with uncanny power and speed. He is nearly
seven feet tall, and the armor he wears is so large and laden
with heavy spikes, that it is a wonder he is able to move at all.
Golden eyes shine through the demonic visage adorning his
great-helm, as the man chuckles menacingly. "No... you
can't…" pleads the guard as he stumbles backward, too
panicked and fatigued to regain proper footing.
"I will be the last!" Proclaims the adversary, approaching
with sinister calm. "And you will go first!"
The young guardsman backs all the way to the heavy iron
rails which line the roof’s edge. Stammering and desperate,
he shouts "There are others! I can show you! Please! Please!"
He is interrupted as a gauntleted fist collides with his temple,
dazing him and sending his helmet flying with a crash.
That armoured hand then seizes him by the throat, lifting
him to almost eye level before smashing him through the rot
iron as if it were no more substantial than kindling.
His assailant holds him there for a moment, staring as the
man dangles five stories above the city streets. With a
squeeze, he snaps the young man's neck before letting him
fall lifelessly to cobblestones below.
In death, the young guardsman’s face is frozen in a terrified
grimace, and the moon’s light slowly fades as it is obscured
by clouds. The man's lifeblood appears almost black as it
pools in the shadows.
Running the adventure
Baldur's Gate is the first chapter in the Bhaalspawn saga,
presented here as a homebrew roleplaying game adventure,
based on a fantasy role-playing video game of the same name.
Is is designed for a party of two to six adventurers of levels 1-
8. A balance of character classes is helpful, since the
adventurers will face a variety of challenges.
This book is meant for you, the Dungeon Master, alone. We
recommend you read the entire adventure before attempting
to run it. It assumes that you have the fifth edition Player's
Handbook, Dungeon Master's Guide, and Monster Manual.
The Monster Manual contains stat blocks for most of the
monsters and nonplayer characters (NPCs) found in this
adventure. Descriptions and stat blocks for new monsters
and NPCs are provided in appendix A. When a creature's
name appears in bold type, that's a visual cue pointing you to
the creature's stat block in the Monster Manual. If the stat
block is in appendix A, the adventure's text tells you so.
Spells and nonmagical equipment mentioned in the
adventure are described in the Player's Handbook. Magic
items are described in the Dungeon Master's Guide, unless
the adventure's text directs you to an item's description in
appendix B.
Text that appears in a box like this is meant to be read aloud or
paraphrased for players when their characters first arrive at a
location or under a specific circumstance, as described in the
text. Indoor and nighttime descriptions are written with the
assumption that the adventurers are using a torch or other
light source to see by.
Story overview
One of the players plays as the young and orphaned ward of
the mage Gorion. The two live in the ancient library fortress
of Candlekeep. Abruptly, the Ward finds themselves ordered
by Gorion to prepare to leave the citadel together during the
night with no explanation. Escorted by a group of adventurers
(the rest of the players), they leave Candlekeep.
On the night of leaving Candlekeep, a mysterious armoured
figure and his cohort ambushes the pair and orders Gorion to
hand over the Ward. Gorion refuses, and dies in the ensuing
battle, while ensuring that his Ward can escape.
In the morning, the Ward and the party encounter Imoen, a
childhood friend and an orphan like the Ward who lived in
Candlekeep, who had followed them in secret. With no safe
hiding place available, Candlekeep no longer accessible to
them without Gorion's influence to circumvent its admission
fee, and the city of Baldur's Gate currently closed off to
outsiders due to bandit raids, the party resolve to investigate
the cause of the region's Iron Crisis.
Travelling to the mines of Nashkel, the main source of the
region's iron, the Ward's party discovers that the mine's ore is
being contaminated by a group of kobolds led by a half-orc
Mulahey, and that they and the bandits plaguing the region
are being controlled by an organization known as the Iron
Throne, a merchant outfit operating out of Baldur's Gate.
After sabotaging a mine operated by the Iron Throne in the
Cloakwood that would presumably give them total control
over the region's iron, the Ward's party head into the newly
reopened Baldur's Gate.
Venturing to the Throne's headquarters, the group learns
that proof of the organization's involvement with the Iron
Crisis was taken by one of the regional leaders when they and
the rest of the leadership headed to Candlekeep for an
important meeting. Revealing their findings to Duke Eltan,
the leader of the Flaming Fist, the group receive a rare and
valuable book, which would allow them access into
Candlekeep, in order to spy on the meeting.
During their investigations in the citadel's library, the
Ward's party discover a prophecy written by the ancient seer
Alaundo, foretelling how the offspring created during the
Times of Trouble by the dead god Bhaal, the Lord of Murder,
will sow chaos until only one remains to become the new
Lord of Murder.

U
pon a misty cliff, overlooking the Sea of
Swords, lies the castle of Candlekeep. Its
stone walls, high towers, and other
fortifications were not erected to defend
royalty or nobility. Its labyrinthine vaults and
catacombs holds very little gold, gems, or
coin. Instead, there in lies an immeasurable
wealth of knowledge. It is the home of the great seer Alaundo
who foresaw the coming of the Bhaalspawn, over a millennia
before the crisis of the 14th century DR.
Within the imposing gates, one will find a charming small
town. There is a large but simple garrison, a charming inn,
stables, and taverns. There are areas dedicated to the
cultivation of livestock, temples, and many small shrines
dedicated to gods of knowledge. The children of the folk and
of the guardsmen play about the yards as the younger of the
scribes and clerics read and work about the gardens in their
pastel robes.
All of this is situated around the Great Library, a grand
stone edifice housing what is known to be the largest
collection of tomes and scrolls in all of Faerûn.
The path leading to the Candlekeep's entrance is called the
Lion's Way, which extens from the Coast Way that runs along
the Sword Coast.
The keep's sigil is a castle emblazoned over a flame.
Candlekeep Fee
To gain entry to Candlekeep a visitor has to present
the seal of a renowned wizard, as well as an
"entrance-gift" to the library, a tome of immense
value, great rarity or significant historical
importance to add to their collection. While the
shrewd gatekeepers typically accepted books
worth no less than 1,000 gp, books containing
particularly insightful annotations or journals of
important persons have been accepted before.
Visitors into the keep are known as "seekers" and
referred to as "goodsir" or "goodlady" by the
library's monks, if their name was unknown.
Visitors are allowed to stay within the keep for
ten days, until they are asked to leave. They are
asked to wait a full month before returning for
another stay.
Once the players leave Candlekeep they will not
be able to come back until Chapter 7! The doors
will not open whithout a book not even for
Gorion's Ward.

been in vain. Your sole comfort is the knowledge that he is a
wise man, and you know he will tell you when the time is right.
Nonetheless, his silence is troubling, and you cannot help but
feel that something is terribly wrong...
Today, Gorion has appeared more agitated than ever, and
now he has uncharacteristically interrupted your chores in the
middle of the day. Imparting hurried instructions for you to
equip yourself for travel, he has handed you what gold he can
spare, but given no clue as to why. Nevertheless, you now
stand before the Candlekeep Shop, ready to purchase what
you need for an unplanned and unexpected journey.

The rest of the party were sent to Candlekeep by a wizard

from a far away city of your choosing (like Neverwinter) to
deliever a rare ancient book to the Library.
The adventure starts with the party (exept for Gorion's
Ward) entering the gates of Candlekeep. The keeper of the
portal (N human guard) will ask for their permit (the seal of
the wizard) and the book they were tasked to deliever. Two
guards on the wall are ready to shoot their longbows on the
Keeper's command.
Since they came here with a permit and a book, the keeper
will invite them to stay in Candlekeep for up to ten days.
Give the adventurers and Gorion's Ward some freedom in
exlporing Candlekeep while they can. It makes no difference
if the adventurers meet Gorion's Ward before going to
Gorion.
At some point, a messenger (LG male human commoner)
will approach the adventurers and tell them that an old sage
named Gorion has an offer for them, but they must hurry.
Gorion can be found coming out of the Library (see area
A1 later in this chapter).

Before Gorion's Ward gets to Gorion, a girl named Imoen
(see appendix A) will meet them in the courtyard.
"I'm surprised that stuffy ol' Gorion let you away from your
studies and chores. That ol' fiddle faddle, I snuck off too. Old
Puffguts Winthrop was looking for me, but I've got all day to
do his chores. What have ya been up to?"
Imoen is the childhood friend of Gorion's Ward. They both
grew up together in the library fortress of Candlekeep.
She was brought in much like them, an orphan adopted by
Gorion, but ten years later in life. Her past is also
unknown. Neither one of them knows that Imoen is a
bhaalspawn herself, just like Gorion's Ward.
She is close to Gorion, but prefers the company of the
innkeeper Winthrop, possibly due to her own carefree and
not very serious nature.
She seems to have picked up thief skills when living in the
citadel. She might mention that she was in the habit of
pickpocketing the monks.
She seems the eternal child, and is quite content to play
the part of little sister, even though she and Gorion's Ward
are of the same age.
She will gladly travel with Gorion's Ward.
When the players reach the Library entrance they will see
Gorion (N mage) - a tall and thin man in a gray robe with a
notably old face, highlighted by a friendly expression and
pointed, gray beard with long, gray hair tied up in a ponytail.

If the players want to visit the Library, Gorion will
tell them they have no time to waste. If they insist
on going in, the interior of the Library is described
in Chapter 7 (minus the guests and dialogues).
Gorion
Gorion's Past
In his younger years, Gorion had been an active
adventurer and agent of the Harpers. Gorion raised
his Ward as his own child, at Candlekeep, initially
trying to educate them as a monk of Torm. He
watched out for another child of Bhaal - Imoen - as
well. Gorion kept their divine heritage a secret from
them, as well as others, sharing the sensitive
information with no one else, save for his old
friend and advisor on the issue, the wise mage
Elminster. Gorion told his Ward they were the child
of a friend who passed in childbirth. Gorion's Ward
was rescued from a group of deathstalkers by the
Hands of Loyal Fury. The order of paladins knew of
his lineage and wished him destroyed, but their
leader, Sir Daesric the Pious, could not bring
himself to allow the killing of an infant. He called
upon his friend Gorion to raise the child as a monk
of Torm and though reluctant, Gorion agreed. The
child was taken to Gorion's home in the library
fortress of Candlekeep, where they were raised as
Gorion's own child, unaware of their heritage and
nature as a mortal child of Bhaal. The Hands kept
watch over the Ward to make sure they showed no
signs of evil but when Bhaal was killed during the
Time of Troubles, they gave up the effort. Other
orphans were also raised there, including another
Bhaalspawn called Imoen, who became the Ward's
friend.

If the party meets hims before Gorion's Ward he will ask
them if they could help him get his ward to the Friendly Arm
Inn safely to meet his friends - Khalid and Jaheira. When they
get there safely, Gorion promises that Jaheira will pay them
300 gold (which is true).
When meeting his Ward he will say
"This is very unnerving, I know, but you must trust me. It is
very important that you pack your possessions so that we may
leave Candlekeep immediately. Hurry, for there is no time to
tarry! The keep is well protected but not invulnerable."
Gorion knows that Sarevok is coming to kill the Ward for
being a bhaalspawn, but he will never tell him that. "The less
you know the better, trust me".
When the party is ready to leave Candlekeep he will talk to
his ward once more.
"Listen carefully. If we should ever become separated, it is
imperative that you make your way to the Friendly Arm Inn.
There, you will meet Khalid and Jaheira. They have long been
my friends, and you can trust them."
See "Leaving Candlekeep" later in this chapter.
A2. Candlekeep Inn
The tavern has two floors. The ground floor has a bar and a
huge fireplace. Another fireplace is located in the entrance
lounge, which also contains a few chairs, tables, and stools.
The downstairs area also holds the owner's room. The upper
floor has only a landing and seven rooms, all of which are for
guests only. The innkeeper is Winthrop (N commoner) - a
portly man in his 40s. He has a noticeable Northern accent.
He tries to be funny but ends up being a bit pathetic. "My
hotel's as clean as an elven arse." - his usual greeting to new
customers.
The tavern mainly sells wine, but also has a couple of other
beverages such as Blood Wine, Firewine, Arabellan Dry,
mead, and the sole ale, Bitter Black. Winthrop also also sells
his own ale, known as Winthrop's Wicked. When the party
arrive he might jokingly ask for a 1000 gp book entrance fee,
as per Candlekeep custom. He will be disappointed if the
players don't get the joke.

 Leaving Candlekeep
As the party leaves Candlekeep, they will not travel far. They
will get to area B (Lion's Way) by night, where they will be
ambushed.
"Let's hurry! The night can only get worse, so we must find
shelter soon. Don't worry, I will explain everything as soon as
there is time."
He takes a few steps forward until he suddenly stops and
listens worryingly.
"Wait! There is something wrong. We are in an ambush!"
The party gets surrounded by an Armored Figure (see
appendix A), a war priest (a NE human woman named
Tamoko), two ogres and two thugs. Add more enemies if you
feel like this will not be enough to scare your players off. Your
goal is for them to flee the encounter.
"You're perceptive for an old man" says the armored figure.
"You know why I'm here. Hand over your ward and no one will
be hurt. If you resist, it shall be a waste of your life."
To which Gorion replies "You're a fool if you believe I would
trust your benevolence. Step aside and you and your lackeys
will be unhurt."
"I'm sorry that you feel that way, old man."
They will not stop running until dawn. In the morning the
party will meet Imoen, who followed them after all, having left
Candlekeep out of boredom, but now having become witness
of what seemed to be a horrible dream. She saw everything
and will tell them that the armored figure indeed killed
Gorion. If the party wishes to go back to that place and get his
body to Candlekeep, Imoen will remind them they will not be
allowed to return without a donation and without Gorion's
influence, their doors will remain closed. (If the party tries to
return to Candlekeep anyway, the watchers will not let them
in, however will take Gorion's body or send some people to
retrieve it). They can, however take Gorion's belongings from
his body:
A scroll containing a letter from Elminster (show the
players "Gorion's Scroll" in appendix C). Imoen has
already read in back in Candlekeep
A dagger
A ring of warmth.

Gorion casts stoneskin on hismself and shouts something

like "Run! It’s him they are after! Get my Ward to safety! Go to
our rendezvous point! Now run!". The armored figure
(Sarevok Anchev) is only interested in killing the Ward,
though Gorion will keep Sarevok's full attention on himself.
Gorion will be able to hold the enemies off long enough for
the party to run away, but as they do that they be hearing
groans and sparks of magic until it stops with Gorion's last
moan.
