Path to Menzoberranzan
An ambitious community driven mod for Baldur's Gate 3 that adds an entirely new standalone adventure. This story is focused on the bright mercantile city of Athkatla and the dark and perilous nature of the Underdark, far from Baldur's Gate and the tale that we already know.
The journey
In Act I, players will visit Athkatla, shop at iconic places like the Adventurer Mart, and explore the long-abandoned dungeon once occupied by the malicious mage Jon Irenicus as well as many more locations yet to be announced. In Act II the player will begin their journey to the titular location, Menzoberranzan and Act III will feature the drow city itself.
