Changes: Beregost

Revision as of 00:48, 9 September 2018

Beregost (pronounced: /ˈb ɛ ɑːr ɛ g oʊ s t/ BEAR-eh-gost^[1]) was a town on the Coast Way, halfway between Baldur's Gate and Amn. It was a popular stop for many visiting merchant caravans, especially those en route to Waterdeep in the north or to the Sea of Fallen Stars in the east.^[3]

Government

In 1368 DR while Beregost's offical government was a five-person town council, in reality, the town was run by the governor, Kelddath Ormlyr, who is also the high priest of Song of the Morning a major temple to Lathander.^[3] By 1372 DR, Beregost was recorded as having no "official government", though Most Radiant Ormlyr was still in charge.^[2] It was policed by the guards from the temple,^[3] as well as Flaming Fist from Baldur's Gate.^{[citation needed]}

History

Beregost began as a small farming village, established some time after 1026 DR to support the school of magic run by the wizard Ulcaster, on the opposite side of the Coast Way.^[4]^[3] The school was destroyed in 1106 DR by Calishite mages and only the ruins remained.^[5]^[2] 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.^[3]

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.^[6]
