Council of Four

The Council of Four was the governing body of the city of Baldur's Gate on the Sword Coast. Like the name suggests, the council is made up of four powerfully minded counselors. The current rulers include Duke Eltan, leader of the Flaming Fist, Belt, a powerful warrior and divine spellcaster, Liia Jannath, a mage, and Entar Silvershield, the richest man in Baldur's Gate, but also a strong warrior in his own right. The Council is part of the Lords' Alliance, which includes Waterdeep, Neverwinter and Silverymoon, among others.
