Aldeth was in possession of the unique enchanted broadsword Kondar.
==Relationships==
Aldeth was head of the Sashenstar patriar family of Baldur's Gate. The accumulated their wealth from their great fleet of ships, their mining interests and business holdings in the textiles industry. He was uncle to the great adventurer Dabron Sashenstar.The Baldur's Gate game has Dabron appear as the brother of Aldeth, though the sourcebooks Forgotten Realms Adventures and Power of Faerûn make it canon that he is his nephew.
==History==
In the , Aldeth and some of his companions had gone on a hunting expedition in Cloak Wood and were harassed by the druids of Cloak Wood led by archdruid Seniyad, who accused them of trespassing within the woods and killing the animals, even of murdering a druid. They took shelter in their cabin. At this time, Abdel Adrian and his adventuring companies might have intervened; if they did, they sided with Aldeth and his hunters against the druids.In the Baldur's Gate game, if the player intervenes and sides with the druids against Aldeth, then Aldeth is slain. In this case, Dabron subsequently appears in Baldur's Gate to confront the player and seek vengeance for the death of Aldeth. However, Power of Faerûn makes it clear Dabron returned in 1372 DR in time for Aldeth's death that year, negating this possible outcome of Baldur's Gate.
He was unaware that his consortium's estate in Baldur's Gate had been infiltrated by doppelgangers under the direction of Rieltar Anchev. But if Abdel had aided him earlier, then he would try to recruit his group to investigate the strange behavior of his partners Irlentree and Zorl Miyar.
Aldeth died in the , and was succeeded by his nephew Dabron.
