Appearance

History
Calishites are descendants of the slaves of the genies who ruled Calimshan and are not native to Abeir-Toril. After the Calim's power dwindled, the Calishites were able to free themselves of the genies' yolk and founded the nation of Coramshan in 606 DR. Since this time the Calishite race has expanded and migrated to the various regions listed above.

Culture
The pervaiding Calishite view is they are the rightful rulers of all the land south and west of the Sea of Fallen Stars. They have a tendency to look on the northern cultures as being short lived barbarian cultures barely being worthy of notice. This however does not stop them with trading with these nations.
