[QUOTE="Majoru Oakheart, post: 6310329, member: 5143"] It's also a bit of an overstatement from someone who doesn't understand the Spellplague that well. Yes, some wizards went insane and some weirdness happened in the world. However, Baldur's Gate managed to survive the Spellplague almost completely unharmed. There were some incidents of magics running wild in the streets before they were put down by the guards. But, overall the city survived and prospered. They even grew as they absorbed refugees from nearby cities that were hit much worse than they were. The Spellplague itself only lasted a small portion of those 100 years. After that, it mostly died out. Murder in Baldur's Gate takes place in Baldur's Gate just before the Sundering and there is a fairly vast campaign guide in there about the city. It is entirely standing. Life goes on much as it did during the time of Baldur's Gate 1 & 2. There is even a statue erected to honor their greatest hero, Minsc and his friend, Boo. Minor spoilers for Murder in Baldur's Gate adventure: [sblock]Even the "hero" of the Baldur's Gate games lives through the Spellplague and becomes one of the 4 Dukes of the city. He is very long lived due to his heritage and is still alive in the adventure.[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
