Baldur's Gate

The Twilight Gryphons met in Baldur's Gate. During Amelia's 11th birthday party, all of the nobles in the city were either killed or disappeared. The Grand Duke was an elected position by the electoral college, though it is now elected by the council. Bart Nyris is the new Grand Duke as he is one of the only nobles left. The council consists of: Dursell Cragfoot, Petra Starr, The Harbor Master, John Peters, and Lightning Destroyer.

Rebuilding from the vampire's attack takes time, but goes well under the watch of the council and Grand Duke Bart. By mid-Kythorn they have gotten homelessness to zero and spirits in the city are high.

## Places in Baldur's Gate

**Abandoned House** - East Barrow District (Market District) - chased Gorman to here

**Bloomridge** - Area of fancy people. The Twilight Gryphons can get in now with their Silver Rank badge.

**Blue Rose** - "House of Pleasure" that we reside in and work at. When the Twilight Gryphons fled Baldur's Gate after being arrested, the Blue Rose came with them. They have set up a new base in Yartar, though their building in Baldur's Gate remains locked and booby trapped.

The Twilight Gryphons return some holy symbols and a sword called the "Foe Hammer" to the temple.
