Boareskyr Bridge
Village in The Fields of the Dead, The Western Heartlands
Boareskyr Bridge is a stone bridge and small trading settlement over the Winding Water, famous as the place where the god Bhaal was slain during the Time of Troubles.
A bridge of black granite spans the river, with a statue of Cyric at one end and of Bhaal at the other, and a market of white tents, corrals and smithies crowds around it.

Overview
Boareskyr Bridge lies in the Fields of the Dead, with the Forest of Wyrms to the east and the Trollclaws to the west. On our map it links Elturel, Scornubel and Dragonspear Castle, and caravans cross the river here.
During the Time of Troubles, when the gods walked Faerûn as mortals, Bhaal, the god of murder, was killed at the bridge by Cyric. The event left a lasting mark on the place and on the Bhaalspawn whose stories later played out in and around Baldur's Gate.
