Chult Chult is located on an island in the southern part of the Trackless Sea , off the coast of Calimshan . Formerly , the land was located at the westernmost end of the Chultan peninsula . It is a mountainous jungle of savage beast s , hulking dinosaur s , and disease - ridden swamps . Savage human tribes , goblin s , and even stranger monstrous folk haunt the thick jungles . Nevertheless , Chult draws adventurers who search for its legendary riches . The primordial Ubtao is almost exclusively revered in the land , for the divine powers of Faerûn awarded Ubtao the dominion over the land of Chult in exchange for the deity ' s vigilance over the threat from under the Peaks of Flame . Life and Society . The humans of Chult live in tribal communities , consisting of a dozen or so families , which move from one area to the next when the poor soil of the largely - jungle covered peninsula becomes depleted . For hunting and defence they rely on primitive non - metallic weapons like clubs , bows and shortspears . Harder metals like iron and steel are unavailable to them , and the few brought in by outsiders are nowhere near enough to sufficiently arm any number of people . Magic is generally feared , and each tribal - family generally has only one wielder of arcane magic , performing hunting ceremonies and brewing potions to aid the hunters . Despite this restriction on arcane spellcaster s , the number of people with an aptitude for magic is the same as anywhere else in Faerûn . Subsequently , the Chultan attitude towards the arcane causes some arcanists to flee into the jungle to practice their art alone . In the days before the Spellplague many also traveled to study in Mezro . Aside from humans , wild dwarves , goblins , aldani , ptera - men , bullywug s , and lizardfolk also inhabit the land . In smaller numbers are exotic creatures as chuul s , hydra s , naga s , troglodyte s , troll s , and wyvern s . But the dominant predators of the land are the dinosaurs , worshipped by many of the natives as aspects of the primordial Ubtao . Geography . The Jungle . It is said by many that the jungles of Chult are the most dangerous places in Faerûn . The plants are intelligent predators while the predators themselves are massive and armed with huge teeth and claws . Insects bite and sting travelers almost constantly , the heat and humidity is almost unbearable and the undergrowth contains a multitude of poisonous snakes . Worst , however is the disease that runs rampant in the area . Most things in the jungle have some sort of illness or parasite and it is very easy to catch such illnesses off them . Even the water is tainted and must be boiled if you wish to drink . On top of all this , the intelligent creatures that eke out an existence in the dense foliage are perfectly happy ( and sometimes go out of their way ) to track travelers in order to hunt them down and kill them . Yuan - ti , batiri , and other species that have learned to survive in this place need food and adventurers tend to suit that need nicely . Yet those adventurers keep on coming in their droves to the Chultan jungles as rumours of endless veins of gold , huge gems and ruined empires stuffed to the brim with magic and riches keep surfacing in taverns across Faerûn and many are willing to brave the dangers of the jungle for a slice of that fabled wealth . Peaks of Flame . The Peaks of Flame were the abode of salamander s and other creatures of fire . The peaks were also said to sit over a pair of iron doors that led to the Fugue Plane , the world of the dead . Legend had it that at the end of the world Dendar the Night Serpent would tear down these doors and break through into the world . Valley of Lost Honor . In the thickest parts of the jungle lies the Valley of Lost Honor , once the last refuge of the Eshowe before they were destroyed . Legends say that all of their wealth is left behind in caves here , while more sinister legends claim the evil deity of Eshowdow ( Shar in disguise ) resides here , recruiting followers and planning revenge . Wild Coast . The jagged and treacherous coast of southwestern Chult creates a hazard for ships , and merchant ships from northern Faerûn have learned to give it wide berth . Fearing not only the cliffs , sailors speak of whirlpools , freak storms , aquatic monsters , flying dinosaurs and giant eagles . A few brave ( or foolish ) fortune seekers explore the caves along the coast , hoping they will lead into rich mines that lie under the jungle . Rumors and Legends . One of the most terrifying local legends of Chult involves a mysterious beast called the Uluu Thalongh . This entity was able to possess trees and plants , making their branches into violent weapons . Moreover , it could mimic the voices of previous victims . No one was ever able to discover who or what the creature actually was .
