Baldur's Gate series

Baldur's Gate is a popular series of computer role-playing games that take place on Faerûn, the main continent from Dungeons & Dragons's Forgotten Realms campaign setting.

The Baldur's Gate novels

Philip Athans, editor of the Forgotten Realms novel line, wrote a trilogy of novels --- Baldur's Gate, Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn, and Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal --- based on the storylines of the computer game series. The novels introduce the basic story behind the City of Coin, Athkatla, but avoid several of the games' numerous subplots and only include a few of the NPCs. The Bhaalspawn main character is named Abdel Adrian in the novels.
