General Events and Rumours in Baldur's Gate

The denizens of Baldur's Gate are recently more and more catching attention of growing interest in some recently discovered archipelago of islands, after the recent arrival of two ships full of wealth. Those living in dock disctricts talk about how construction of two, big vessels was commissioned and is well in progress. The construction of two new ships is said to have been ordered by the Grand Dukes of Baldur's Gate, employng the best shipwrights known in the city. The City Watch and few Flaming Fist Mercenary soldiers are said to be closely guarding or patroling the construction site.

Around taverns, common folk and adventurers can be heard gossiping and sometimes even planning their own expeditions to the archipelago called Selûne's Bracelet, ever since they witnessed boxes of gold, ore, diamonds, samples of exotic plants and strange items. With a clear goal of getting rich themselves, local shipwrights and those in nearby settlements are experiencing an increased amount of work (and gold) building vessels capable of sailing through the Sea of Swords for various kinds of people, either desperate, wealthy or adventurous.

Among the higher social classes of Baldur's Gate there's a growing interest mainly in rarities and new trends this unexpected explosion of wealth might offer. While most circles for now remain sceptical of the prospect, several nobles have declared their support for a new opportunity to bring wealth to Baldur's Gate and bring it back closer to its former glory before recent conflicts, or even make it better. Quite a few known wizards are said to be paying for acquiring strange antiques, suggesting some of them may have more value than scholarly or decorative.
