Balduran claimed a guardian and friend, Ansur. Bright were Ansur's scales, and brighter still his breath!


Balduran claimed a guardian and friend, [[Ansur]]. Bright were Ansur's scales, and brighter still his breath!


Yet after a betrayal too piercing to recount here in worthy detail, Ansur fled beneath the stone, thereby changing the name of the region he now slumbers under to match his draconic lineage.

| notes =
* The text overall is referred to as "prose," implying that the author's word choices have meaning, but should maybe not be interpreted as precise facts.
* Refers to [[Balduran]] as being ''"a sailor of exquisite renown who founded the city of Baldur's Gate many years ago."''
* Refers to [[Ansur]] as being a ''"guardian and friend"'' of Balduran.
* Provides multiple points of evidence to suggest that [[Ansur]] has "scales," possesses "breath" that can be described as "bright," and also has "draconic lineage." This description could technically be fit by [[Dragonborn]] and some [[Sorcerer|Sorcerers]], in addition to "full" [[Dragon|dragons]].
* The discussion of a "betrayal too piercing to recount here in worthy detail" could be interpreted in many ways, but the point the text seems to be expressing is that this event caused [[Ansur]] to flee "beneath the stone."
* The book item called [[Dear Ansur]] seems to specifically relate to the events of the "betrayal" mentioned in this text.
