Amkethran

Amkethran was a village nettled into an outcropping of rock, located in Tethyr.

Geography
Amkethran was partly built on several levels on a large rock. A large cave opening into the side of that rock was used as a cemetery, although when Gorion's Ward's party arrived it was magically sealed off as the lich Vongoethe had taken temporary residence in it.

Government
In 1368 DR, it was under the unofficial leadership of Balthazar, the leader of the local monastery and a Bhaalspawn. The village was in very bad shape, as its inhabitants lived in poverty and had to contend with Balthazar's mercenaries, who also lived there and did basically whatever they liked.

Notable Locations
The village had a tavern, and a seller of powerful scrolls who had fled from Saradush had also set up shop there.
