Let us hunt down the secrets of Faerun on this planet and find the lost cities, towns and wonders of Baldur's Gate! :D

I'll start us off...

    Oh cool. I remember seeing on some forum that Gnoll stronghold was modelled after a historical place as well. Can't seem to remember the name, though.

    Well, somewhat similar to Quebec City, yes ... but there are also loads of walled-and-gated cities in Europe which look (or used to look) somewhat similar to BG. Chester (in England) is quite well-preserved and still looks rather like BG to this day. Here's an old drawing of Chester (credit Martin Stuart Moore):

    Amazing what a sunset and a riverfront can do to a city, huh?

    @elminster‌ thats fine in Montreal, but QC is notoriously conservative, and a portion of the populace are definately not welcoming to anglophones. Probably still pissy about the Nordiques leaving town!

    Off topic but appropriate, enjoying a Bard's Brew... brewed by Bard's Tale Brewery. ;)

    The high hedge must surely be inspired on a real building as well.

    The Song of the Morning Temple looks like a mosque.

    Ohh I'm well aware of the differences when it comes to speaking English between Quebec City and Montreal. I'd personally still do it :D

    Only way to know if its spellhold or not is if there is a magical barrier that petrifies people trying to walk to it (unless they have a wardstone). :)
