**Beregost** (pronounced: /ˈbɛɑːrɛgoʊst/ *BEAR-eh-gost*) was a town on the Coast Way, halfway between Baldur's Gate and Amn. It was a popular stop for many visiting merchant caravans, especially those en route to Waterdeep in the north or to the Sea of Fallen Stars in the east.

## Government

In 1368 DR while Beregost's official government was a five-person town council, in reality, the town was run by the governor, Kelddath Ormlyr, who is also the high priest of Song of the Morning a major temple to Lathander. By 1372 DR, Beregost was recorded as having no "official government", though Most Radiant Ormlyr was still in charge. It was policed by the guards from the temple, as well as Flaming Fist from Baldur's Gate.[*citation needed*]

## History

Beregost began as a small farming village, established some time after 1026 DR to support the school of magic run by the wizard Ulcaster, on the opposite side of the Coast Way. The school was destroyed in 1106 DR by Calishite mages and only the ruins remained. Tales of ghosts that haunted the school's ruins caused the town to develop further on the west side of the Coast Way, leaving the hills east open for livestock.

Despite the loss of the school, and the worldly travelers it could bring, the settlement of Beregost thrived, growing into a large town and an important trading center.
