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. 
 

Disclaimer
Baldur's Village is a fan-made project, not an official story of Baldur’s Gate or Stardew Valley. This mod is created with respect and love for the original works, aiming to make the characters and their stories as engaging and authentic as possible.
