"Baldur's Gate"[edit]

Is that "Baldur" as in Baldr, the god who was killed by a mistletoe arrow? Mjollnir.svgListenerXTalkerX 07:33, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

I believe the writers of the settings for D&D used numerous names from various mythologies, as well as making up their own. For example, one of the major demons is called Demogorgon, from the Biblical deity.--ADtalkModerator 08:51, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
It gets worse in the splatbooks. The Norse and Egyptian pantheons show up. My one e books have Arthurian fugures and the Chinese pantheon to boot. Тytalk 14:12, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Hmmm[edit]

I have this somewhere but never really got around to it. I think I might go dig it up and waste my afternoon on it. Scarlet A.pngtheist 12:27, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

If you discover you like it, you will waste more than one afternoon. The games comprise hundreds of playable hours, even if you only go through once.--ADtalkModerator 12:47, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
