BG2 Reconciliation
Now that I have an official layout of the city's districts, I'm going to reconcile the locations from Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn (game) with where they correspond on the actual map from Volo's Guide to Baldur's Gate II. I've already done this with the Copper Coronet (BG2:SoA labels it in the "Slums" while VGtBGII doesn't give a specific district) placing it in the Bridge district as the BG:SoA map placed it on the south bank of the Alandor River, immediately south of the bridge.

Using the maps from Bg:SoA and BGtBG2, I would use the following reconciliations:


 * Fairly obvious:
 * Locations from the Temple District (SoA) = Temple District (VGtBG2)
 * Locations from the Graveyard District (SoA) = Grave District (VGtBG2)
 * Locations from the Bridge District (SoA) = Bridge District (VGtBG2), except Five Flagons which is explicitly in the Guard District (VGtBG2)
 * Locations from Waukeen's Promenade (SoA) = Waukeen's Promenade or Center District (VGtBG2), except Den of Seven Veils which is explicitly in the Guard District (VGtBG2)


 * Approximate correspondance:
 * Locations from City Gates (SoA) = Guards District (VGtBG2) (based on corresponding maps)
 * Locations from the Government District (SoA) = Scepter District (VGtBG2) (no map correspondance, but each area houses the residence of the Council of Six (Amn))
 * Locations from the Slums (SoA) = Bridge District (VGtBG2) (map correspondance and description of Bridge District as being rather poor)


 * Shot in the dark:
 * Locations from the Docks District (SoA) = Wave District (VGtBG2) (approximate same location, description is closer to what appears in SoA than River or Center District (VGtBG2).

If anyone has any thoughts about these, please share! Ruf (talk) 15:49, September 9, 2018 (UTC)
