![]() ![]() Into the breach stepped a young merchant named Thayze Selemchant. In a matter of months commerce was brought to a halt, a number of cities were under siege, and war threatened to engulf the entire region. The trade war escalated, and city troops began to raid caravans sponsored by other cities. A particularly brutal trade war began 24 years ago, with each city exacting prohibitive tariffs on goods imported from the others. Each major city was basically an independent entity, banding together for defense when necessary, and fighting for control of territory and profitable trade routes the rest of the time. It appears that the Amn of 100 years ago was very much like the Calimshan of today. The fear of revealing "trade secrets" is stronger than the call of history, so the average citizen knows very little about Amn's past. The best records, the business papers of the oldest trading companies, are jealously guarded. Amn has always been more interested in the present and the future than the past, and this makes an accurate history difficult. It would seem the typical Amnish citizen was too busy trying to fill their coffers to write down events of the day. Unfortunately, written records are difficult to find and often incomplete. Oral traditions handed down from father to son tend to support the theory that Amn has been a trade center for at least 800 years. Amn has been a center of trade and commerce for as long as anyone can remember. This has worked in Amn's favor for generations, because even if they were conquered, the new masters would be gentle, looking to gain wealth from the land, rather than to put it to the torch. SECTION II: Countries(minus Shadowdale, Waterdeep) AMN History of Amn: Amn has the good fortune to have abundant natural resources some would say Amn is the richest land on the continent.

Hey everyone, remember all those books in the game that you probably threw away because they took up precious inventory space, and you didn't have time to read them? Well I've written an FAQ that has every single book in the game in it. This walkthrough was originally written for Baldur's Gate on the PC, but the walkthrough is still applicable to the PC version of the game. ![]()
