Baltimore

Baltimore is a secondary character and a runesmith in Vergen in The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings.

Journal Entry

 * Having spent some time in Vergen, I'd heard much about the famous runesmith, Master Baltimore, whom the local dwarves revered. Mastering the profession in question requires practice over scores of years, and runes cast into weapons or tools supposedly grant them unusual properties. We did not meet Master Baltimore, however, as he had disappeared several years before the events described herein. Yet his handiwork was, and is still, reputed to be the pinnacle of the difficult art of forging runic signs.


 * Either Baltimore really was paranoid, or he had had good reason to believe that his life was in danger.


 * If Geralt chooses to give Baltimore's notes to Thorak:


 * Thanks to some notes, Geralt ascertained that the runesmith's disappearance had been the work of his apprentice, envious of his teacher's secrets.


 * If Geralt does not choose to give Baltimore's notes to Thorak:


 * Thorak revealed that near his life's end Baltimore had lost his mind. Under these circumstances his disappearance, though still a mystery, was not that surprising.
