Baldur's Gate Wiki

The Athkatla Graveyard is one of the seven districts of the city of Athkatla that can be explored during the events of the Shadows of Amn.

During the day, there are people visiting their fallen relatives and those they loved who are no longer with them, and it is a peaceful place full of singing birds. During the night, however, the graveyard sees undead creatures walking around, most notably vampires.

Note: It is possible to use magic within the graveyard area without having a Cowled Wizard teleporting in and giving the practitioner of said magic grief.

It is also possible to sleep within the graveyard without being roused by an Amnian Legionary.
