Menzoberranzan, the "City of Spiders", is a fictional city-state in the world of the Forgotten Realms, a Dungeons & Dragons campaign setting. The city is located in the Upper Northdark, about two miles below the Surbrin Vale, between the Moonwood and the Frost Hills (north of the Evermoors and under the River Surbin[1]).



So, been thinking, why does it seem Menzo is so close to Baldur's Gate in this game? Is there some sort of portal gateway to it, or is it that Larian doesn't realize it's really, really far away?
