Little Calimshan

Little Calimshan was a walled district in the Outer City of Baldur's Gate. It was a rowdy, chaotic region of the city that was distinct in its design and atmosphere that evoked its namesake realm of Calimshan.

Description
The Baldurian district was designed like one of the "sabbans" of Calishite cities. As was the custom, it was divided into several, walled-off "drudarchs", or neighborhoods, that were partitioned by individual walls. These walls were uniformly built, 15' (4.6 m) tall with minarets set at regular intervals.

Each drudarch featured the same cultural landmarks. Each held personal quarters for the family; lodging for the amlakkar, who were personal family guards; a place for worship, such as a shrine or temple; as well as an area to rest and socialize, such as a festhall, inn or even a decorative fountain.

Little Calimshan's brick buildings were built in crowded bunches around the sabban's walls. They were layered in plaster and featured little decoration.

Inhabitants
Each of the separate drudarchs were occupied by a single extended-family or Calishite tribe.
