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.[1]
