Kir Sabal was a cliffside monastery in Chult that was home to a flock of aarakocra monks as of the late 15th century DR.[2]
Geography[]
The monastery was located near the Nsi Wastes, in the eastern jungles of Chult.[4]
Geographical Features[]
Kir Sabal was nestled into the side of a massive plateau that overlooked the surrounding jungle canopy. It was only accessible on the ground by a series of sloping stone ramps and walkways.[1]
Defenses[]
The aarakocra were forced to defend themselves from the gargoyles of Omu.[5]
Notable Locations[]
The monastery featured a large wooden shrine that depicted the patron deity of Chult, Ubtao, in the form of a Tabaxi.[3]
Inhabitants[]
As of the late 15th century DR, Kir Sabal was home to a dozen aarakocra nests housing 56 individuals, about a third of whom were juveniles. They lived their lives according to rigid tradition and strict behavioral rules. They hunted and fished along the River Olung and maintained gardens atop their safe plateau.[2] A rite of passage for the young was to make a pilgrimage to the Dawn Warrior to test their strength.[6]
Notable inhabitants as of that time included:
- Asharra, the elder who led the community.[2]
- Mokababu, who aspired to keep alive the legacy of Omu.[7]
- Nephyr, who would patrol the skies of the jungle.[8]
In addition to the aarakocra, Kir Sabal was home to two Chultan children, Princess Mwaxanaré and Prince Na. These two traced their ancestry to Omuan royalty.[2]
History[]
In the late 15th century DR, Kir Sabal was under a constant threat being targeted by a powerful spell-slinging pterafolk Nrakka. Intelligent and cruel creatures relentlessly attacked the monastery and its occupants. The aarakocra of Kir Sabal sought aid against the pterafolk among adventurers who arrived to Chult investigating the mysterious death curse.[6]
