Eldaernth is a retired Flaming Fist who believes in the new Fist cohort. Eldaernth can be found with a group of retirees in the Lower City of Baldur's Gate during Act Three.

“

Don't listen to Vistra. She talks big for a short, old dwarf - those 'good ol' days' weren't all rosy.

Involvement

Act Three

Eldaernth is in Bloomridge Park attempting to challenge Vistra's views of the Flaming Fist. While Vistra is cynical of the current Fists, Eldaernth believes they are doing the best they can, given the circumstances. Avourel and Thokki occasionally comment on their views.

Idle banter

Vistra: 'Absolute' this... 'end of the world' that... These young folk've no idea how good they've got it.

• Eldaernth: Come off it, Vistra. You've been doing this same rant for years.
  • Avourel: Yeah, the first lot of young folk you said it about are old folk now!
    • Vistra: Piss off, the lot of youse.

Eldaernth: You're remembering the past pretty fondly, Vistra. Bit too fondly.

• Vistra: What d'you mean?
  • Eldaernth: You telling me you'd have refused the Steel Watch's help on Returning Day a decade ago?
    • Vistra: You'll, uh... remind me?
      • Eldaernth: Big horrible beast? Slaughtered Duke Adrian? We could do bugger all about it?
        • Thokki: Lost a lot of good men that day.

Vistra: You make a good point, Eldaernth.

• Eldaernth: You've known me long enough, Vistra. When haven't I?
  • Vistra: We could've used the Steel Watch back in the day. But that's because we fought actual threats. Back when the Fists were real Fists. Not bloody...
    • Avourel: Limp gloves.

Eldaernth: So, Vistra. You reckon we'd still be better Fists than the current cohort?

• Vistra: Peace of piss, mate. Easy. Yes.
  • Eldaernth: Great. So let's get you out of that chair and into your chain mail, then? Show the young lot how it's done?
    • Vistra: Uh... Well...
      • Thokki: My armour's not fit for years.
        • Avourel: Yeah, to be honest? Thought of holding a pike makes my back ache.
          • Eldaernth: It's a young man's game. Right, Vistra?
            • Vistra: 'Spose.

Vistra: Look, all I'm saying is they've got it easier these days.

• Thokki: Yeah, we didn't have these big metal bastards running the streets back in my day.
  • Eldaernth: Thanks to the bloody Iron Crisis we barely had any metal back then.
    • Vistra: You're right, you're right. We Fists had to proper fight back then. We knew how to watch each other's backs.
      • Eldaernth: Helm give me strength.

After the ambush in Bloomridge Park:
Eldaernth: Not seen action like that in a while.

• Vistra: Those cultists are lucky they were on the other side of the park. Lucky.
  • Avourel: You'd have taken them, would you, Vistra?
    • Vistra: Reckon so.
      • Eldaernth: Bollocks. These days we'd sooner throw our backs than a proper punch.
        • Thokki: Well, I, for one, count my lucky stars it happened elsewhere.
          • Avourel: Same here. My knees are buggered already, never mind running after cultists.
