Garlow was a lifelong servant and an attendant who worked for the owner of a large townhome in Baldur's Gate and eventually inherited it sometime before the late 15th century DR.[1]

After all, there's no point in denying the undeniable, which, until that moment, I had obscured with the million minor tasks by which I measured my life. Yes, the polishing, the scrubbing, the pouring of wine and tea and deference into my master's cup - all of it had surrounded and obscured the essential truth of my life, like a phalanx now fallen. I had wasted my years, one by one, and now there were hardly any left to me at all.
— Garlow's "inklings" put to paper.[1]

History[]

Garlow spent most of his life working in his master's home in the Lower City. His lifelong service was rewarded with the master died. Garlow inherited the entire mansion. Despite the inheritance, Garlow found himself consumed by the regret of a life wasted. He penned a journal he simply called "Inklings" and made a bucket list for his own retirement: to climb a tree, have a truly exceptional sandwich, spend day just reading, visit the City of Splendors, Waterdeep, get a massage, go for a swim in the River Chionthar, buy a new coat, and lastly, get a cat. Later, Garlow decided to leave the manse behind and leave for Calimshan to spend the rest of his life traveling from there. He left a kind letter to whoever would claim "Old Garlow's Place," asking them to take care of the place that was his entire life. However, the place was not cared for; it remained abandoned in the Year of Three Ships Sailing, 1492 DR when it was inspected by Ardent Low, the Council of Four Liaison, who proclaimed it to be in gross violation of the city by-laws 38a-39c and condemned in accordance with by-law 42a. Liaison Low left a notice on Garlow's home, and recommended the owner to contact the local Builder's Guild representative in regards of immediate repairs.[1]
