Mulan

The Mulan were a human ethnic group non-native to Toril.

The Mulan were distinguished by the shaving of the head of both genders and flowing body and cranial tattoos that indicated an individual's social status, education and sect amid the Red Wizards of Thay and specialized school of magic (the latter two pertaining only to the Mulan of Thay).

Regions
The Mulan dominated the demographics of Mulhorand, Unther and Semphar. They were the ruling class of Thay and were also present as a sizable population in Chessenta.

Culture
Mulan culture was heavily stratified into castes. Non-mulan ethnic groups such as the Turami and Rashemi were considered an underclass and openly despised in Unther. Slavery was common and almost universally accepted in Mulan lands. Mulan slave traders could be found as far away as Calimshan and amid the Tuigan tribes of the Endless Wastes.

Religions

Brief History
For a more detailled explanation of the arrival of the Mulani on Toril, see the early history of Imaskar.

The Mulan were first brought to Toril by the Imaskar Empire as slaves from another world. Years of fervent prayers were finally answered when avatars of the Mulan gods were able to breach the wards created by the Imaskari and liberate their people. Where once the Imaskari Empire stood millenia ago, now stand the 'old empires' of Mulhorand and Unther.

Thay, a breakaway state of Mulhorand, formed under the leadership of a cabal known as the Red Wizards, who rule there to the present day.
