Transcript:

Bhaal, the Lord of Murder, foresaw his own death and impregnated mortal women in order to create his heirs known as the Bhaalspawn so that one day they could be sacrificed for his return. Now, years later, these children are coming of age right when the Iron Crisis is sweeping the Sword Coast.

Iron ore has begun to rot and decay after being smelted, causing a crippling metal shortage and making the commodity more valuable than gold. The roads have become flooded with bandits and thieves who prey on those with the precious metal causing Baldur's Gate to close itself off and halt all traffic. Tension thickens as the Nation of Amn is blamed for the situation and war seems inevitable.

Without explanation from your foster father, the powerful mage Gorion, you leave the city under the cover of night and are ambushed by a group of mercenaries. An armored figure, and the group's leader, demands that Gorion hands you over. Instead, your father engages the group and urges you to flee, which you do, but not before seeing your father cut down by the iron clad warrior.

Now, as Gorion’s Ward, you must investigate the iron shortage, unearth the sinister motives of your enemies, and learn the true nature of your identity. Have fun!
