🗺️ The City of Coin awaits. Just… don’t trust the exchange rate. Choose your party—and watch your back.

🪓 The Adventurer Mart is where gear-hungry heroes empty their coin purses—and occasionally their morals.
🧭 And yes—this is part of the Path to Menzoberranzan.

Whether you're here to make gold, get revenge, or disappear, Athkatla doesn’t ask questions. But the Shadow Theives might.

🧩 Below the streets lies Irenicus’ Dungeon, a dark little welcome gift for the unlucky.
🧙‍♂️ The Cowled Wizards control the arcane—use a spell without a license, and they will find you.
🛍️ Waukeen’s Promenade is a glittering marketplace lined with merchants, illusions, and dangers.

But you haven’t seen anything like Athkatla.
Athkatla is the capital of Amn: rich, ruthless, and corrupt to its beautifully lacquered core.
It’s a city where adventurers come to make fortunes—and frequently remain as ghosts.
If you’ve been here before, you already know: this place has teeth.

Welcome to Athkatla,
Where your soul has a price and the weight of your purse determines your afterlife.
(Or how fast you might reach it, at least.)
If you’ve spent your life in Baldur’s Gate, you’ve known bustle. You’ve known back-alley politics and noble houses with bloody ledgers.

Spoke to a couple of key members of the team working on BG3 custom campaign @pathtomenzo.bsky.social . They're not giving too much away yet, but it certainly sounds like they're cooking something really cool.
