13、博德之门(BALDUR'S GATE)
欢迎你,勇士,还有你的那些圣洁与肮脏的朋友们
博德之门被分成两区:码头区的下城跟城墙内的上城,比较有地位的市民住在上城中。这座城由于贸易的迅速成长,很快将境界延伸到剑海岸边。它老旧的城墙是一条简易的界线,让人可以判别过境的旅客和冒险者,以及长居此地者所住的房屋。这里有一句流行的话,就是 到所有地方的中途站 ,这句话指出这座城到剑海岸两座最大的城市北方的深水城跟南方的卡林港之间的距离大致是相等的。博德之门拥有着公平的法律,并以其自身是一个开放的圣地为傲,不论种族和背景,来到博德之门的各路冒险家都可以在这里成为公民并开始新的生活。
身世选择
焰拳佣兵团
“一定的报酬,就可以获得我的帮助。”
在博德之门,贸易是没有阵营之分的,所以包罗万象就成为博德之门的一项美德,但这并不表示来访者可以在这里作出伤及人命或抢夺财产的行为。焰拳是博德之门的非官方军队,为回报政府资助的总部而提供价格低廉的服务。这里的成员包括巡林客,法师,牧师以及一大群战士,他们可以被雇佣进行任何不为邪恶目的冒险。他们后勤充足,对丛林也十分熟悉,甚至愿意让那些亡命的冒险者在急需的时候呆在堡垒中度夜。
不满的难民
“贵族就了不起?我一样可以得到认可。”
每个地方都会有等级之分。在博德之门,你所居住的地理位置,代表着你的身份地位。博德之门被分成两区:码头区的下城跟城墙内的上城,所有的贵族都居住在上城,而下城的子民,自然被当成了二等公民来对待。难民就是其中的一员。当然,就如同蝼蚁也想登天一样,即便是难民出身,也希望可以被平等对待。那么翻身提高自己的等级地位,恐怕是选择这个出身的玩家的首要任务了。
世俗流氓
“我就是这样的一个流氓,你又能怎样呢?”
冒险是每个人的梦想,但是如果是一个世俗流氓极力去实现的目标,那这两者的结合就变得十分戏剧性。在博德之门,你就有机会做一个有冒险梦想的世俗流氓。你精于世故,虽然被大部分世人所厌弃,但是你在博德之门找到了自己生存的一席之地。你渴望去探险,随时准备整装待发,去与精灵作伴,与邪恶的巫师为友。对你来说,去哪里,与谁在一起不重要,重要的是冒险精神常在。

博德之门
深水城以南,博德之门附近的冲萨河口(River Chionthar)以北的宝剑海沿岸一带的土地被统称为剑湾。这个名字来源于犹如锐利的刀剑般从海边陡然耸起的高度接近半英里的白色峭壁,这些峭壁在数百英里的海岸线上把大海和陆地分割开来。不必质疑为什么剑湾地区两座最伟大的城市、深水城和博德之门正好位于这段峭壁的两端,因为在这数百里的范围内,只有这两个地点船只可以安全停泊。

Orphaned Mercenary: The Flaming Fists mercenary
company has long held a position of power
and respect in Baldur’s Gate, and you enjoy sharing a
piece of that renown. You hail from the crowded city,
from a long line of people who worked in the service
of the Fists. Your parents were killed in the attempted
coup by Grand Duke Valarken, and ever since, you
have devoted yourself to gaining the power, skill, and
knowledge to track down the Band of the Red Moon
and see justice done.
Roleplaying Tips: You are driven to achieve perfection
in all aspects of life. You are not content to settle
for second best, because you believe doing that won’t
help you to avenge your parents and achieve your
dreams.
Worldly Swashbuckler: You have left and
returned to the city more times than you can count.
Even though you have seen the world, Baldur’s Gate
holds a special place in your heart. Your beginnings
were humble, but you have made the best of life and
experienced wonders and horrors that most couldn’t
imagine. You’ll take any job that holds the promise of
visiting a new place or serving as the springboard of a
new adventure.
Roleplaying Tips: You are loud and outspoken, and
you have a flair for the dramatic. Not everyone likes
you, but you’re too busy enjoying the world to notice.
Malcontent Refugee: You grew up in a newer
neighborhood, and though Baldur’s Gate is a good
city, you’re ready to find a place where you don’t feel
like a second-rate citizen. Everyone around you might
seem happy with the way things are, but you know
that the world holds something more. Your family
doesn’t approve of your attitude and often regards you
as a black sheep. Sometimes you regard yourself the
same way, but the difference is that you see it as an
asset.
Roleplaying Tips: You’re defensive of your heritage,
and you revile those who display prejudice based on
race or class. You’re proud of who you are, but you’re
discontent with a simple life.
