Omala

Omala was a master colorist at the dye works in Port Nyanzaru in Chult during the late 15^th century DR.^[1]

History[]

Around the same time as the death curse,^{[note 1]} Omala purchased dancing monkey fruit from the black market for the purpose of making dye. Such an act was considered a potentially capital offense (punishable by a sentence to Executioner's Run) as it circumvented the legal sale of fruit overseen by the merchant prince Kwayothé. When Omala's actions were uncovered by the Ytepka Society, he planned to go to Goldenthrone to plead for his life before Kwayothé, claiming he had merely experienced a lapse of judgment. He sought to ask adventurers to accompany him for protection, although he lacked the money to hire any.^[1]

Notes[]

↑ Canon material does not provide a year for the events described in Tomb of Annihilation, however it is understood to take place sometime between 1488 DR and 1492 DR. The earlier date is based on the fact that Port Nyanzaru is stated to have gained independence from Amn nine years prior to the start of the adventure (p 15), which would be 1488 DR at the earliest given the city was firmly under Amnian control as of 1479 DR (as described in the Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide, p 102). The later date is based on the presence of Volothamp Geddarm, who is promoting the in-universe Volo's Guide to Monsters during the adventure (p 24) but is stated to have concluded his promotional tour and begun a new book as of Waterdeep: Dragon Heist (see pp 5, 24), which is understood to be set in 1492 DR. Unless a canon source states otherwise, this wiki will use this range for events related to this sourcebook. The adventure is also assumed to take place concurrently with or slightly after the events of Storm King's Thunder based on the subplot involving frost giants in the service of Jarl Storvald (p 13).
