The Baldur’s Gate Gazetteer
Want to know more about the Baldur’s Gate Gazetteer? This free D&D supplement is a digital treasure trove for fans of tabletop games and the most recent Dungeons & Dragons game, Baldur’s Gate 3. The Gazetteer offers a wealth of lore, useful tools, and inspiration for any players looking to create their own Baldur’s Gate campaign.
If you’ve been playing through the Descent Into Avernus campaign, you may have noticed the Gazetteer’s numerous mentions and references. The digital campaign book originally came with the supplement, but D&D Beyond has since made it available for free and given players quick and easy access to its useful tools and inspiring content.

The Baldur’s Gate Gazetteer can be claimed for free on D&D Beyond and can be accessed through the user-friendly layout of the D&D Beyond website. It includes a wealth of information, from stat blocks and maps to random tables and useful rumors.
If you’re playing through the Descent Into Avernus campaign, or any other D&D campaign set in Baldur’s Gate, there’s plenty of Gazetteer content that will be of interest to you. It has a strong connection to the upcoming Baldur’s Gate 3, serving as a prequel to the game’s events.
If you’ve already been playing through the campaign, you’ll have seen the Gazetteer’s relevance to Baldur’s Gate 3’s backstory. The campaign itself, however, had some flaws that I discussed in my Descent Into Avernus review. While the narrative was strong, the adventure itself was a little unfocused, with shifting styles and tones.
That being said, playing through the campaign revealed just how well the events tied into the game’s narrative. The Gazetteer itself explores the fall of Elturel, the Blood War, and introduces the arch-devil Xariel.

The Descent Into Avernus campaign book is available for $30 on D&D Beyond. While this offers a more focused experience, it will only be of interest to players who are planning on completing the campaign. If you’d prefer to create your own Baldur’s Gate campaign, the Gazetteer is an ideal option, as it provides all the necessary information free of charge.
