Talk:Balduran

The name Balduran suggests that his name originates from the city and not vice versa. Not that Balduran founding Baldur's Gate would be totally impossible and unacceptable, but definitely weird. Either the hero should be Baldur, or the city Balduran's Gate. The way it is, it pretty much shows that they created the city first and then the legend, forgetting that things should be reversed for in-world naming purposes.


 * Yeah, I agree. Not all game designers are as good as others.… ~ Lhynard (talk) 17:11, October 25, 2019 (UTC)


 * OR his name was Baldur Balduran and no one dared to use his given name. Ruf (talk) 17:57, October 25, 2019 (UTC)


 * Ha ha! I like this theory. ~ Lhynard (talk) 20:46, October 25, 2019 (UTC)

Pronouns
It's worth noting that, following Balduran's transformation into an illithid, "it/it's" prounouns were used by the narrator rather than "he/him". It's worth mentioning, though the flow of the article would likely be disrupted if the pronouns suddenly switched SpiritMan1 (talk) 03:53, 8 September 2023 (UTC)


 * No, I think it's fine to use different pronouns, since the illithid is a wholly different creature to the human and it better helps to distinguish the two characters. I've revised a few sentences to use 'it' pronouns. ~ BadCatMan, Chief Scribe 11:59, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
