Text

[This text roots its subject on Balduran, a sailor of exquisite renown who founded the city of Baldur's Gate many years ago. The prose is colourful but a little too self-satisfied round the edges, and the novel would be unremarkable but for one small entry about halfway through:]

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.
