Elerrathin's Home is a manor located in the Lower City of Baldur's Gate in Act Three. It is just south of the Baldur's Gate waypoint, in the northwest of the map. X: -209 Y: -54
Overview
It serves as the home of Jaheira and her wards, who she considers to be her family. The basement of the building is a small lush cavern where Jaheira keeps supplies and her personal effects, including several very rare items.
Jaheira's Desk
The desk in Jaheira's office contains a pin-shaped hole that acts as the lock to her secret basement. The passage can be unlocked using a Harper pin, several of which can be found at throughout your journey:
Engraved Pin - Picked up from a Drow corpse in Grymforge, near Murmath.- Harp-Shaped Pin - Found in a pile of viscera in the Oubliette X: 623 Y: -99.
- Harp-Shaped Pin - Obtained by talking to Tate, upstairs in this house.
- Harp-Shaped Pin - Found in a Mahogany Casket in the Lower City Mortuary X: 40 Y: 29.
- Harp-Shaped Pin - Found in the Old Pouch X: -217 Y: -53 on top of the roof of Jaheira's home.
Jaheira's Basement
The basement is a heavily trapped cavern. From the entrance there is a path to a small shed protected by various entrapped orbs. The traps won't go off if you have Jaheira present in your party, or can be disarmed by removing a crate from a nearby pressure plate or by hitting the orbs with damage of their respective elements.
The basement is inhabited by the Postmaster Badger and his messenger rats, who will give information on certain happenings around Baldur's Gate if you can speak with animals.
Moving a crate grants access to some loose planks. Under the loose planks is a key which opens the trapped bookcase revealing a secret entrance to a room hidden behind the bookcase. This is where Jaheira keeps some of her most private items. One of such is the Rite of the Timeless Body. After interacting with the scroll a dialogue with Jaheira is unlocked where she discusses her thoughts about duty, mortality, and her considerations of extending her life.

Notable Loot
Notes
- If Jaheira dies before joining the party at the end of Act Two, the house will be empty, with neither her wards nor the animals in the basement present. This means the Harp-Shaped Pin cannot be obtained from Tate and instead can be found in the large wardrobe on the upper floor of the house.
