The town was policed by the guards from the temple, as well as Flaming Fist from Baldur's Gate.

History
Beregost began as a small farming village, established some time after the to support the school of magic run by the wizard Ulcaster, on the opposite side of the Coast Way. The school was destroyed in the by Calishite mages and only the ruins remained. Tales of ghosts that haunted the school's ruins caused the town to develop further on the west side of the Coast Way, leaving the hills east open for livestock.

Despite the loss of the school, and the worldly travelers it could bring, the settlement of Beregost thrived, growing into a large town and an important trading center.
