Dambrath

Dambrath was a nation on the southern coast of Faerûn. It was notable as it was formerly ruled by a race of human, drow and elves collectively known as the Crinti, who comprised the upper class. It was a predominantly isolationist nation, though they did allow some limited trade with outsiders.

Climate
Dambrath was unbearably hot throughout the entire year, with relief only coming during the rainy season, which lasted from Uktar to Hammer or Alturiak. The coast south of the Gnollwatch Mountains had sweltering days combined with a cool, refreshing night (thanks to the cool air from the Great Sea. The Forest of Amtar was as dense and humid an area as the jungles of Chult to the far west of the continent. Even worse in, the regard of humid _____, was the noxious swamp of Rethild along the Dambrath's southwest coast.

History
After centures of Crinti rule, native Dambrathans rebelled against their half-drow masters and drove them from the land in 1385 DR.

In 1489 DR Dambrath was a nation of nomadic human clans, primarily horse riders. The clans met two times a year at The Hill of Kings to add the stories of the clans history to totems on the hill. Many of these Dambrathens sought the curse, or gift in their eyes, of lycanthropy. This was acceptable because of the local gods they served. The Dambrathans worshiped Silvanus, Selûne, and Malar all patrons of were-creatures.
