Amn is a fictional country in the role-playing game of Dungeons and Dragons, modeled on medieval Spain. It is the land of focus in the titular game Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn.
It is a tremendously wealthy nation, holding colonies in far away Maztica and controlling important trade routes to Calimshan and Baldur's Gate. It attracts adventurers from many lands, even from outside Faerûn. Amn's capital is Athkatla, which was founded in 100 DR, which is 0 DR in Amnreckoning (little used except in official documents). Major towns include Crimmor (pop 35,491); a walled trade hub, Eshpurta (pop 24,252); the main military city, Keczulla (pop 47,733); a gem mining town and Purskul (pop 27,210); a granary city. The city of Murann (pop 43,773) has fallen into the hands of two Ogre mages and their forces, capturing many of the treasure ships in harbour.
