Amkethran

Amkethran is a town appearing in Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal. It's located somewhere in Tethyr.

When seen in the game, it is under the unofficial leadership of Balthazar, the leader of the local monastery and a Bhaalspawn. The town is in very bad shape in the sense that its inhabitants live in poverty and have to contend with Balthazar's mercenaries living in it and doing basically whatever they like. In the meantime, Saemon Havarian has also made his base in the city.

Amkethran is partly built on several levels on a large rock. A large cave opening into the side of that rock is used as a cemetery, although when the player's party arrives it is magically sealed off due to the lich Vongoethe having taken temporary residence in it. The town also has a tavern, and a seller of powerful scrolls who has fled from Saradush has set up shop there.
