In the Outer City of Baldur’s Gate, a tree has begun to bloom out of season. At the same time, rumors spread through the Outer City of people vanishing without a trace. The disappearances began roughly three tendays ago: the same time the strange bloom appeared. Oblivious to any connection, the residents turned their suspicions upon their neighbors, desperate to find a pattern. With the Flaming Fist focused on matters within the city proper, the plight of the Outer City’s poor draws little attention.
Rumors, resentment, and vigilante justice fester in the absence of authority. Desperate to find their loved ones, a few well-off citizens of the Lower City have begun hiring sellswords and adventurers to uncover the truth behind the vanishings. This is where the story begins.

Baldur’s Gate is a city with troubles. It has been a haven for thieves, cutthroats, and murderers since the days before Balduran arrived, and down through the centuries its streets have seen blood, mayhem, and destruction in untold waves. The patriars – nobles of the city – insulate themselves against the worst, but few citizens have been spared the horrors which seem drawn to Baldur’s Gate like flies to a corpse.
Recently, Baldur’s Gate has seen a rise in unnatural, illicit activity through the machinations of a group called the Cult of the Dead Three. This cult venerates three fallen deities – Bane, god of tyranny; Bhaal, god of murder; and Myrkul, god of death. Each of their respective divine portfolios have been taken over by other deities, but their memories and dogmas are kept alive thanks to the fervent dedication of groups like the Cult of the Dead Three.
The Flaming Fist who maintain order in Baldur’s Gate have their hands full with criminal gangs, floods of refugees, and the never-ending calls of the patriars, all of which leaves the Cult of the Dead Three freer to operate in secret. However, the recent discovery of the remains of a fanatical tyrant from the city’s distant past threatens to push Baldur’s Gate further into chaos as each disparate faction of the Dead Three fight for dominance. Unless stopped, the city will suffer grave consequences.

The adventure can easily be inserted into a Baldur’s Gate: Descent Into Avernus campaign as well.
