A great darkness has fallen over the port town of Baldur's Gate and the
lands around. Thieves and brigands roam the countryside, and they have
driven you and your family from your farmland home. On a desperate rush
to seek safety within the walls of Baldur's Gate, your hopes are dashed
when you and your family are ambushed on the
road by a group of
thieves... thieves who claim to have ridden from Baldur's Gate to find
you. Scattered by the suddenness of the thieves' attack, you return to
the scene of the ambush to find your sister has been abducted. You must
find her... before whatever terrible plots involving her unfold.
