Amkethran was a village embedded into an outcropping of rock located in the Calim Desert in Calimshan in the 14th century DR.[1]
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.[1]
Government[]
Although the village had a mayor, Omar Haraad, his position was mainly in name only, owing to the oppressive forces of the Bhaalspawn Balthazar. In 1368 DR, it was under the unofficial leadership of Balthazar, the leader of the local monastery. 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.[1]
Notable Locations[]
The village had a tavern named the Zephir, and a seller of powerful scrolls who had fled from Saradush had also set up shop there.[1]
