[A guidebook written to assist newcomers in grasping the separation of the Upper and Lower parts of the city of Baldur's Gate. It describes the Upper section as the home of the Patriars, who are city's nobility caste. It is well-patrolled, and its immense wealth shows itself through wide well-lit streets shining proudly on buildings of elaborate and elegant decoration. By contrast, the Lower section of the city is a tangle of narrow streets, compact buildings, patrolled not by many guards, but a cornucopia of merchants, craftspeople, chancers, dancers, fools, fabulous vagabonds, cutpurses, young men and women of negotiable affection, barkeeps, beggars, knights and knaves.]
