Mbala was a town located atop a sheer plateau northwest of the Aldani Basin in Chult.
Geography[]
Unlike most towns in Chult, Mbala was located far inland and was more than 50 miles (80 km) from either the Soshenstar or Tath rivers.[1] The plateau that it lay upon was 1,800 feet tall and its base was surrounded by heaps of huge boulders.[3]
Defences[]
A narrow (roughly 5 feet wide) path wound around the plateau for three miles in total, including several switchbacks, effectively prohibiting an army from marching upon the high plateau. Climbing the plateau itself was a difficult prospect too, requiring both skill and the proper equipment.[3]
Government[]
Mbala was once the seat of a small Chultan kingdom.[3]
History[]
At an unknown point, a green hag posing as a witch doctor calling herself Nanny Pu'pu slaughtered and ate all of Mbala's citizens until she was the only sentient resident left.[4]
After the population's demise, Myrkul, the Lord of Bones, claimed Mbala as his territory and demanded an offering from any passing travelers.[2]
