Balduran is a legendary historical figure mentioned in Baldur's Gate 3, often credited with the founding of Baldur's Gate[1] among other accomplishments. Several statues found within the game depict his likeness.
History
Balduran was a legendary sailor who returned from his adventures with vast wealth. He invested his wealth in a small coastal village known as Grey Harbour. [2][3]. Through his patronage, the village grew into the city today known as Baldur's Gate.
Balduran's legendary status gives rise to many tall tales. In Baldur's Gate 3, Alfira might tell a tale about how he saved Baldur's Gate by driving away raiders upon his ship, the Wandering Eye[4], and how he sailed to the edge of the world[5]
Statues in Wyrmway
There are multiple statues of Balduran with recorded messages from him. They guide the player through the challenges on their way to find a character named Ansur beneath Wyrmway.
