Arves is a Human found in Baldur's Gate. He can be found outside the House of Grief in the Lower City. Speaking to him is one way to initiate Investigate the House of Grief.
Involvement[edit | edit source]
Arves is a splendidly-dressed merchant with a profoundly absent mind. Despite his apparent wealth, he doesn't remember any details about his own life. Using Detect Thoughts reveals that his memories are scrambled, but that the name "Moyra" occasionally peeks through the mess.
You can pass a 
DC 20 Deception check to take advantage of his condition and convince him to give you some of his gold. Knowing about Moyra will give you Advantage on this check.
Spoiler warning! This section reveals details about the story of Baldur's Gate 3.
Arves initially came to the House of Grief out of mourning after the death of his wife Moyra. They in turn removed all his memories of her—and many more, it would seem.
If you interact with the Mirror of Loss within the Cloister of Sombre Embrace, you can potentially become imbued with Arve's memory of his lost wife. However, speaking to Arves after acquiring his lost memory yields no new dialogue options.Notable loot[edit | edit source]
