Enigmatic Ravensgar, keeper of forgotten lore and ancient secrets, may offer crucial insights to those brave enough to seek them out, while presence of Tethtoril casts long shadow over these events – their true loyalties and motives shrouded in mystery that could prove salvation or damnation for those who trust unwisely. Heroes who stand against this a looming threat and emerge victorious shall find themselves rewarded not only with legendary harbormaster bribes of stories and songs, but with eternal gratitude of Baldur's Gate and power that comes from being saviors of a realm that remembers its debts.
