A new village has recently been built north of Pelican Town, and its new residents seem... rather unusual. You can find the entrance to Baldur's Village at the top of the southern mountain map, right next to Linus' tent.
Baldur's Village is a large expansion mod for Stardew Valley, inspired by Baldur’s Gate 3. It introduces a brand-new village map and NPCs while staying true to the game's original atmosphere. Among them, Astarion features a fully developed personal storyline and is available for marriage.

No, we aren't considering repainting the 64x64 portrait because we cannot restore the character's appearance in that resolution.

Yes! we've worked to ensure compatibility, but minor issues may occur due to limited testing. Please report any problems to us.
Do I need to start a new save to play this mod?
No, this mod simply adds new content; it does not alter or break the original game.
