Baldur's Gate/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.

Geography
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 "druzir" and their family; lodging for the "amlakkar", who were personal family guards; a place for worship, such as a shrine or temple; as well as an common area to rest and socialize, such as a festhall, inn or even a decorative fountain.

Description
The district was a vibrant, if a bit raucous locale. The sounds of foreign instruments and the scents of exotic spices evoked the feeling of life in the Lands of Intrigue.

Little Calimshan's brick buildings were built in crowded bunches around the sabban's walls. Like buildings from their namesake realm the buildings were were covered in a layer of plaster, however they did not the share the same quality of decoration due to the limited funds available during their creation. The tops of the buildings and walls were smoothed out and paved so that individuals could more easily walk atop.

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