The Iron Throne is one of the best segments of Baldur's Gate 3. A race against time to save all the prisoners before the whole prison implodes, all while fighting off the guards. It's a test of strategy and how well you know your character's abilities. However, have you wondered how the Iron Throne came to be underwater in the first place?
For those of you who are new to the Baldur's Gate series, and aren't well versed with the events of the previous two games, it's all Bhaal's fault. To be fair, most of the things that go wrong in the city of Baldur's Gate are thanks to Bhaal, but this one is down to his Bhaalspawn, Sarevok Anchev. He's the main reason why the Iron Throne is underwater.
The Iron Throne used to be an arms merchants' collective, which served as Sarevok's lair in the original game. However, once he was defeated, the city wanted to get rid of the entire collective in a grand showcase. So, the city Mages' Council decided that they will literally pick up the entire structure and toss it into the deepest part of the Grey Harbour.
