Oh yes, Athkatla is certainly in shambles. The legislative power is held by a large and very inefficient bureaucracy, judicial power by an esoteric cabal of wizards, and executive by the Thieves' guild and the Church of Beshaba. Although magic is supposedly outlawed, the city is positively swarming with liches, including one hiding in the broom closet of an inn just next to the probably heavily guarded and used gates of the city. Vampires rule the night, and the three main churches are engaged in a constant low-intensive religious war with each other, while simultaneously using their authority to have all new religions utterly annihilated. In other news, the circus in now an extraplanar dimension pocket, a tanner is constructing a suit made of human flesh, yet another lich has returned in a huge interplanar traveling device to drink the blood of his last surviving relative, about half of the people buried in the graveyard still walk and slaver mobs are confident enough to assault a heavily armed party of adventurers in broad daylight. And then there's the elven mage who built a huge doom fortress with portals to other planes right below the market.
