Baldur's Gate : The Sword Coast Chronicles : NWN2 Persistent World

Honorable Dukes of Baldur's Gate,

I have hesitated to write this letter for quite some time. I fear that it will be dismissed out of hand. Nonetheless, I have come to the conclusion that I should make this request directly, rather than ask others to do it for me.

I am writing to respectfully request that my banishment and exile be lifted.

I am not the man that I was four years ago. I now see clearly the irresponsible and cavalier attitude that I had towards magic. I understand and am ashamed of how my unrestrained experiments endangered the city of Baldur's Gate. Looking back, I cannot believe that I accidentally caused a planar breach. I have long since accepted my banishment as just punishment.

However, despite the wild rumors and gossip that have grown over the years, I would like to respectfully remind your graces that no lives were actually lost to the planar breach that I caused. Indeed, Istari Tower was not even damaged by the breach; it was entirely contained within the top level of the tower, and was soon closed by other residents of Istari Tower before any harm could be caused.

Of course, the incident could have been much much worse. The planar breach could very easily have been opened into a more dangerous plane than it really was. I understand that your graces do not want someone in your city who can create such a risk, and that may be a large part of why you banished me.

But I am not that person anymore. I understand the importance of restraint in using magic now. In fact, before today, I had not casted a single spell in almost half a year. I only used magic today to teleport the villagers of Kheldrivver to the Trade Way, so that they could escape the undead horde that threatened them. I warded myself only to make sure that I would be alive to shut down the Teleportation Circle before any undead could follow the villagers through it.

I was asked to teleport the villagers directly to Baldur's Gate. I refused to do this, because I did not have permission from your graces to do so. I feared the risks of setting a Teleportation Circle's destination so close to your city. That is why I teleported the villagers far south of the city.

I hope your graces understand that I have nothing but respect for you and the safety of the Baldur's Gate. Indeed, I do not intend to use magic unless the safety of others absolutely requires it. This is how I honor and worship Mystra.

If I am to be allowed back into the city of Baldur's Gate, I intend to fulfill my duties as a shareholder of the Sword Coast Commercial Exchange. I hope to work for the benefit, profit, and prosperity of the city.

I thank you for your attention to my letter.



Your Servant,

Charraj "Cain" yn Khalim el Khanh

Honorable Dukes of Baldur's Gate,

I write to inform You that I, on my own accord, decided to organize an evacuation effort for my home village of Wayfork, and to bring its inhabitants here. The undead army was threatening the village and by the means of teleportation the villagers were brought to the duchal lands. Current refugee camp is set up near the Hilltop under the auspice of the Ilmateri Temple.

I admit to act without informing You in advance and waiting for your decision in the matter, being afraid You would refuse to accept them into the city limits. More so the situation was calling for a quick action. By the time I managed to gather enough support the undead were already closing on the village. I am well aware of the strain that the refugees from Kheldrivver and now also from Wayfork put on the city, nevertheless I could not let innocent people die and become a reinforcement to the army of unliving.

I apologize for not informing you about the matter beforehand.
I take full responsibility of my actions and accept any repercussions that may come.

My only request is that You, in your wisdom, allow them to stay within your lands til the threat is dealt with. I believe my people will be willing to aid the city in any way they can.

Respectfully,
squire to Head watchknight Dame Sveta Asperan and a student to Doombringer Tegeus Cromis

"Council of Four,

I am presently training a logistics corp to aid in the battle against the dead as part of the War Council. As has been noted, an army marches on its stomach and maintaining a proper logistics corp makes long term war plans both cheaper and more effective. However, I am unable to fund a significant recruiting effort and I personally took a vow of poverty some years ago.

I therefore come to you with cup in hand. There are people in Baldurs Gate who will be useful and who will come back from war with skills that will help the city. They will cook, train and fight for themselves. It is going to cost around 20,000GP to outfit a full unit of these men and I would argue around the same to maintain and hold a training camp of sufficient size to avoid disrupting the city with their training.

Simply put, this cannot be done without substantial funding and our war effort will begin to suffer if they are not properly supported. Thank you for considering this,

Reine Arlynson"

Honorable Grand Duke Eltan of Baldur's Gate,

I scribe request on behalf of the Song of the Morning temple in Beregost, at behest of Knight-Commander Eldarian Al'maire. It is with utmost respect that I write to inform you of a masquerade ball is to be held within the city hosted by the Church of Lathander within the interiors of the White Mask Theater. I do this for two reasons, Your Grace, neither of which intended to take time away from your busy schedule, nor the terrors that currently plague the Coast. Given that the event may attract a generous number of attendees, it seemed the wisest course of action to have the authorities, as well as The Flaming Fist notified of intended and possibly masked traffic.

With the safety of Baldurian citizens in mind, it brings me to the secondary reason for missive. It is with humbled grace I make request for additional security; a small contingency of Flaming Fist officers to be posted upon location, both internally and externally on the desired date and time set upon the twenty-forth eve of Marpenoth at eighteen-hundred hours. While our own Templars can, and will be, present it is with respect of your leadership and prior contact that we do not seek to bring our own militant forces into the City at any great number and instead ask for the protection of your own able bodied mercenaries.

I eagerly await your response with patience and grace.

Blessings of Dawn upon you,


Knighted Servant of our Radiant Morninglord.

Council of Four,

It is very pleasant to hear that the preparations for the fight against the undead are progressing well, with all various factions working together. Especially regarding the recent threat, the undead in the Sharp Teeth Forest.

However, there is a matter I would like to inform you about, in order to avoid any possible conflicts in the future. To much of my dissapointment I was notified that a Flaming Fist soldier has asked Archmage Kael of the Fallen Kalinor, Defender of Dharasha and Master of the Shadow Tower to remove his facemask and identify himself. I understand that those are your laws and that your mercenaries are allowed to act in this way. But they arent our laws. I suggest either all your mercenaries get familiar with the Archmage or hold the meetings to a neutral ground, where such theatrics are not needed. Especially not, after your council has allowed in the past a gray orc to roam your streets freely.

If you feel that this is too much to ask, then you can inform us so that we can withdraw our forces from this alliance
