Editing Baldur's Gate (section)

==Adaptations==
[[Philip Athans]], editor of the ''Forgotten Realms'' novel line, wrote the first two novels in the ''Baldur's Gate'' trilogy of novels: ''Baldur's Gate'' and ''Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn'', both are novelizations of the video game series' storylines. The novels follow the basic outline of the original stories, but eschew several of the games' numerous subplots and include only a few of the NPCs. The Bhaalspawn main character is named Abdel Adrian in the novels. The third novel, ''Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal'', was authored by [[Drew Karpyshyn]].
