Chapter 437 - 431 Border’s Gate
The full name of DND is Dungeons & Dragons, which translates to Dragon and Dungeon. The core is dice-rolling, surrounded by various data and settings, while the intriguing story background is on the outermost layer.
Among the many world settings in DND, the Forgotten Realm is undoubtedly the most famous. This campaign setting, with its most abundant resources and complete setup, directly leads many readers to mistake the Forgotten Realm as the true DND, considering other settings as heretical.
Next, the Forgotten Realm is a highly fantasy-themed setting. The entire world is built on a planet called Toril, composed of a large landmass in the northern hemisphere and some other smaller lands, with the western part of the northern hemisphere’s continent known as Faerun. Its civilization is similar to Europe’s late medieval period on Earth.
Speaking of Faerun, the most famous city is undoubtedly Baldur’s Gate... though for other readers and players, it might be Deepwater City, or even Molten Blade City. However, for Leon, it is certainly Baldur’s Gate, and he was somewhat excited to turn into a hawk and overlook Baldur’s Gate from above.
In the game, Baldur’s Gate shrank significantly due to technical limitations... even so, it still overwhelmed many players’ computers. The real Baldur’s Gate, as a metropolis and city-state in the Sword Bay area, is a crowded city full of commerce and opportunity, reminiscent of the magnificent Baldur’s Gate in game CGs.
The protagonist group should be still forcefully attacking the Moon Tower now, and it’s uncertain when they will come to Baldur’s Gate.
Leon, in no hurry to loot or hunt for treasures, circled the skies over Baldur’s Gate with great interest.
Baldur’s Gate’s Upper City exudes an atmosphere of wealth and beauty, with broad streets and eye-catching buildings adorned with hanging plants. The Lower District is a vast crescent-shaped part entirely within the city walls, with congested, crowded streets. The Outer District, on the other hand, is a chaotic and overcrowded slum...
Looking at Baldur’s Gate, Leon couldn’t help but think of his Watchtower Port, wondering when Watchtower Port could reach such a size—several decades or centuries might not be enough.
Leon slowly landed on a rooftop, the heavy footsteps of the Iron Defender echoing in the distance.
He looked at the Iron Defender, recalling the ones he had seen. In reality, the number of Iron Defenders was nowhere near as ubiquitous as in games... As expected, creating a magic statue is not cheap, often costing tens of thousands of Gold Coins, and even a wealthy city like Baldur’s Gate couldn’t have them everywhere.
