Ubtao

Father of Dinosaurs, Creator of Chult, Founder of Mezro, The Deceiver. Has A Labyrinth as His Symbol.
Ubtao was appointed by the rest of the gods to guard the Peaks of Flame for the day when Dendar the Night Serpent returns. In return he was granted control over the island. Ubtao has since abandoned the island because people grew too reliant on him. Dinosaurs are still honored as Ubtao's Children though. The disappearance of Ubtao led to the warring tribes unionizing as one people. The kings and queens of Chult have mostly been wiped out by war, calamity and misfortune. There is a rumor about there being a still living heir hiding in the jungle.

Fort Beluarian

Founded in 1364 DR by the Flaming Fist mercenary company. Can hire people for any non-evil venture. Claim that one has to buy an exploration charter from them to explore Chult and give them half of what you found.

Port Nyanzaru

Was an Amnish colony until
1479 DR but then gained independence due to a group of Chultan Traders now
known as the Merchant
Princes.

Mezro

This huge city was created by Ubtao in -2637 DR. The barae were the seven chosen of Ubtao to protect the city. They were immortal and had unique powers. Osaw I was the king and ruler of Mezro. The other six were Kwalu, Dhalmass Rayburton, Alisandra Rayburton, Mainu, Fipya and Ras Nsi. Ras Nsi could animate the dead. After an attack in -127 DR from the Eshowe tribe, he wanted to kill every last Eshowe. For this he was exiled. He then started to raise a massive army of undead.
In 863 DR the city became invisible until it reappeared again in 1363 DR when the rulers of Mezro decided to open the gates and welcome travelers again. In 1385 DR when the Spellplague struck, the city fell into ruin and the barae are believed to have fallen.
