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. Dambrath was a predominantly isolationist nation, though they did allow some limited trade with outsiders.

During the Spellplague in 1385 DR, native Dambrathans rebelled against their half-drow masters and drove them from the land.

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.
