Life of Beaky 
The pigeons in service of the communicators of this city deserve far more renown than that which is afforded to them. Take Beaky, for example - a pigeon, aged ten, a great-great-great grandfather, and a noble upholder of his tremendous duties.

Orange of beak and charcoal of wing, rare is the Baldurian who has not glimpsed the flash of his wing darting hither and fro across our fair city. Beaky has carried Duke's writs, marriage announcements, emergency notices, and more with nary a complaint from his coo-ing beak. Who among us can claim a more stalwart dedication to so important a profession?

To Lord Haverford Gist 
To the Honourable Lord Haverford Gist,

Your reputation as a charitable nobleman is renowned far beyond the walls of Baldur's Gate - those walls that would preserve my family from the rage of the Absolute cult, could we but gain admittance. However, the Flaming Fist at the South Span of Wyrm's Crossing are adamant in their refusal to let us in. I beg you to please use your influence to send a message to them allowing our passage. We would owe you our undying gratitude - and if you were in need of an experienced scribe, I would be willing to work for only the most nominal wages.

Scribe Gallaher Brym, in Rivington

To Hiring Manager, Steel Watch Foundry 
Greetings, I'm an experienced forge assistant, currently stuck in Rivington but I expect to get into the city soon. When I do, I hope you'll grant me an interview at your famous foundry because I'm going to need work and I'm really very good at hammering and, you know, tonging. Anyway, don't forget me, I'll be coming around shortly so you can see if you want to hire me.

- Enry 'Tongs' Buxter

Form H, Refusal of Admittance 
Petitioner Name Here:

The Flaming Fist Company regrets to inform you that your request to enter Baldur's Gate has been denied. This is due to (check all that apply):

- evasive answers to routine questions

- suspected cult affiliation

- lack of visible means of support

Denied petitioners may reapply after a tenday, but too-frequent reapplication is considered harassment and subject to penalty.

To Lily Chazman, Provoss Academy 
Dear Lily,

Dadders and I can't believe our luck in getting you admitted to Provoss as a boarding student just before this refugee crisis sealed the city gates. It cost two arms and a leg, but if it keeps you inside the Gate's walls until the danger is past, it's worth whatever we had to pay.

Now, don't worry about your parents, we're safe enough in Rivington as long as the Steel Watch is here to protect us. And whatever happens, whatever you hear, don't take it into your head to leave the city. Knowing that you're safe at the academy is what keeps us going every day, and we'll get through this, you know we will. Helm bless and keep you, Lily.

- Mommers

Notes

  • The Sword Coast Couriers Key, which opens the back set of doors, can be found behind the building. It is hidden between a stack of hay bales and some pigeon cages.
