Balduran
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, the player might hear mention of 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.
