Beregost in Baldur's Gate

Template:BG

Beregust temple — Beregost and temple as shown on the game map.

Beregost is the starting point for many quests in the game and also had a lot of valuables for any thief of skill, most of which are kept in chests locked away in homes. Here the player can team up with Garrick and Kagain.

The player can meet with the blacksmith Taerom Fuiruim who, for 4,000 gp, will make a powerful armor of an ankheg shell in a tenday.

All inns described above can be visited and are a good place to rest. The Juvial Juggler has a angry dwarf owner and the Burning Wizard has a halfling thief who would pick the pockets of anyone. At Feldepost's Inn magical items are sold.

Beregost day — *A street between Fledpost Inn and the Jovial Juggler.*

West of town is the High Hedge, home of the wizard Thalantyr who sells scrolls and other magic items. On the east side of town is the Song of the Morning that would pay for most holy symbols that an adventurer might find, and the leader will also pay for any wyvern head found.

There was a house in Beregost that was filled with huge spiders. If anyone was willing to gather the items for the woman in the Friendly Arm Inn that belongs to her (because she fled the house because of the spiders), she would pay that individual some gold for the items.

-The town of Beregost had a lot of valuables for any [[thief]] of skill and most of them were kept in chests locked away in homes. There was also a very well-supplied blacksmith who could make almost any armor that a warrior or thief might want, and weapons of great power and price. The main blacksmith went by the name of [[Taerom Fuiruim]]. He was known as a great blacksmith who could, in a tenday, make a [[ankheg shell armor]] out of the shell of a [[ankheg]], provided he was given the shell and 4000 gold pieces! Other than the Turific Inn there were 4 inns: [[Juvial Juggler]], [[Burning Wizard]], [[Feldpost Inn]] and [[Red Sheaf]].

The Feldpost Inn kept some items that were magical in nature and would vend them to any one who would buy them, for a price.
