Goldflow

Goldflow was the name given to a certain type of waste product.

Uses
This waste product was useful in several different methods of manufacturing. In Baldur's Gate, it was often left out on the streets during the night or morning for collection as waste. Residents would pay fees to those who collected their goldflow and nightsoil.

History
In the 15 century DR, everyone who left Baldur's Gate with a handcart or litter of goldflow had to pay a silver piece. As opposed to nightsoil carriers, who only had to pay an extra copper piece charge, goldflow carriers had to pay triple.

In 1482 DR, Baldur's Gate had approximately 150 goldflow and nightsoil carriers. During this year, the Guild arranged for goldflow and nightsoil carriers to slow down their waste-hauling operations. This made the Upper and Lower City smell incredibly bad, which angered the residents.
