Mulan

From Forgotten Realms Wiki

The Mulan are a human ethnic group non-native to Toril.

The Mulan are distinguished by the shaving of the head of both genders and flowing body and cranial tattoos that indicate an individual's social status, education, sect amid the Red Wizards of Thay and specialized school of magic (the latter two pertaining only to the Mulan of Thay).

[edit] Regions

The Mulan dominate the demographics of Mulhorand, Unther and Semphar. They are the ruling class of Thay and are also present as a sizable population in Chesenta.

[edit] Culture

Mulan culture is heavily stratified into castes. Non-mulan ethnic groups such as the Turami and Rashemi are considered an underclass and openly despised in Unther. Slavery is common and almost universally accepted in Mulan lands. Mulan slave traders can be found as far away as Calimshan and amid the Tuigan tribes of the Endless Wastes.

• Untheric pantheon and the Godking Gilgeam
• Tiamat: Chromatic draconic deity.

[edit] Brief History

For a more detailled explanation of the arrival of the Mulani on Tori, see the early history of Imaskar.'

The Mulan were first brought to Toril by the Imaska Empire as slaves from another world. Years of fervent prayers were finally answered when avatars of the Mulan gods were able to breach the wards created by the Imaskari and liberate their people. Where once the Imaskari Empire stood millenia ago, now stand the 'old empires' of Mulhorand and Unther.

Thay, a breakaway state of Mulhorand, formed under the leadership of a cabal known as the Red Wizards, who rule there to the present day.
