Maztica was a far-off land lying west of Faerûn, beyond even fabled Evermeet. Tethyrian explorers from Amn had discovered Maztica just over a decade prior, and Maztican immigrants were then found in very small numbers in Amn, Baldur's Gate, and Waterdeep. Faerûnians lumped all inhabitants of Maztica into one group, but in truth there were seven known human ethnicities in that land: the Azuposi, the Dog People, the Green Folk, the Metahel, the Nahopaca, the Nexalans, and the Payits. The Nexalans were the only group to have journeyed east to Faerûn, so all Faerûn-dwelling Mazticans were speakers of Nexalan, the language of the nations of Pezelac, Huacli, Kultaka, and Nexal. The Nexalan tongue was written using the Draconic alphabet. Nexalans were relatively tall, with long, lean physiques and beardless, angular faces. Nexalans were generally reddish-bronze of hue.
