Southwest Faerûn lay along the great Chultan Peninsula that jut out toward the west of south
Faerûn. The surrounding waters included the northern Shining Sea, a body bounded by
Calimshan[1] to the north and joined to the Lake of Steam through the Strait of Storms,[2] and the
southern Great Sea,[1][3] that seperated the region from the continent of Zakhara.[4]

Regions
Chult

Main article: Chult

This region of dense jungles lay at the western edge of the Chultan peninsula, where the Shining
Sea joined the oceans to the west. It was a swamp-filled land with wild beasts such as dinosaurs,
Ubtao-worshiping tribes,[5] and wealthy merchant-princes that founded a great city that attracted
adventurers from across the Realms.[6]
Lapaliiya

Main article: Lapaliiya

Before its destruction,[7][8] this realm was a confederation of city-states[9] known as the Lapal
League, ruled over by hereditary monarchs. It was home to hard-working, yet somewhat barbaric
folks that detested serpent-kind and took honor and proper behavior very seriously.[10] Duels were
common, as were feuds between families. Each of the cities in this land had a different patron deity
whom its residents worshiped above all others.[11]
Samarach

Main article: Samarach

This was a secretive land at the eastern edge of the jungles of Chult about which little was known.
[8] Its people remained relatively isolated from the other parts of the peninsula by the Sanrach
Mountains, and took pains to conceal themselves with deception and illusions.[8][12]
Tashalar

Main article: Tashalar

This coastal land on the southern shore of the Shining Sea was the home to wealthy merchants and
craftspeople that dwelled at the edge of the Black Jungle to the south. The capital city of
Tashluta[13] and the surrounding waters were protected by a strong fleet of ships.[14] Malevolent
serpentfolk like the Yuan-ti infiltrated the Realms cities, striking out from the surrounding jungles.
[13]
Thindol

Main article: Thindol

Before its near-entire destruction,[8] the grasslands of Thindol were home to fleet-footed tribes of
humans and its neighboring mountain ranges were home to clans of dwarves.[12]
