This book is a supplement to the *Forgotten Realms* setting for fifth edition DUNGEONS & DRAGONS. It provides new details for regions of Faerun briefly described in *The Sword Coast Adventurers' Guide*. It focuses on the nation of Amn, the region directly south of the Sword Coast, and more specifically on the city Athkatla, with maps and descriptions of the geography, people, politics, economy, religion, law, and intrigues of the land.
In these pages, you will also find new subclasses, one for each of the twelve core character classes, along with new background options, that are inspired by the setting, but which can be used in any D&D campaign.
The chapter on Skill Focuses expands skill use while introducing an immersive dimension to character customization and gameplay that blends seamlessly with fifth edition core rules.
The DM's Workshop presents new tools for Dungeon Masters including rules for fire, narcotic substances, as well as expanded guidelines for crafting, and an optional balanced rule for rest and healing. Unique and creative random name tables are also included as a tool for DMs.
In the final chapter, all the elements of the book are brought together with a guide to running campaigns and adventures based in Amn and Athkatla.
