'''Sorcerous Sundries''' is a large magical marketplace in the [[Lower City]] of [[Baldur's Gate]] in [[Act Three]].
Located south-east of the Lower City Central Wall [[waypoint]], it also has a [[Sorcerous Vault|vault]] containing powerful magical books and other items.

Instead of the typical guards you'll find through the city, Sorcerous Sundries is guarded by [[Animated Armour]].
__TOC__
== Accessing Ramazith's Tower ==
Within Sorcerous Sundries and up the stairs a Projection of [[Lorroakan]] will inform the party that "knowledge will determine your path forward." Four portals will open, each accompanied by a plaque giving a different explanation of what the [[Nightsong]] is, only one of which is correct. The pale blue portal on the East side with the plaque that reads "The Nightsong is an immortal being, the child of a deity" will transport the party to [[Ramazith's Tower]], home of Lorroakan, while the others will kill whoever attempts to enter.

== Accessing the vaults ==
[[Tolna Tome-Monger]] will tell the party about three ancient magical books stored in the [[Sorcerous Vault]], including the [[The Annals of Karsus]], a tome written by [[Karsus]] himself. If passing a [[persuasion]] check, she will tell the party that the vault can be entered through her office.

===Via Tolna's Office===
Tolna's office is located up the stairs on the north-east side of the building. To enter the office the party will either need to acquire her key or pick the lock. Reading the 'Clasped Book' in the bookcase behind the entrance will open a portal to the vaults.

Casting [[Fog Cloud]] over the door is a good way to deal with the lock and get inside the office without being seen by the guards.

===Via Ramazith's Tower===
The vault can also be accessed by going to [[Ramazith's Tower]] and jumping down or using the magically floating furniture to get to the middle floor. Once down, interacting with the button labelled 'Vault' transports the party to a hidden room in the north end of the vaults.

Once in the vault the party will have to navigate a series of rooms with doors that teleport the party between the rooms. Below is a chart for how these doors navigate.

== Bugs ==
* If [[Rolan]] was acting as a merchant when you first enter Sorcerous Sundries, the uniquely named equipment items sold by him remain in his possession, even if [[Lorroakan's Projection]] takes over as a merchant after progressing [[Find the Nightsong]]. At this point, these items must be pickpocketed from Rolan or accessed via the Trade option available at the bottom left corner of the screen. 
*Magical items will not be sold for more gold than other vendors, both before and after fighting Lorroakan.
