* 1290, Queen Zalkore was the last ruling monarch over Chult. She wanted to be young and reign for eternity so she struck a deal with the Yuan-Ti to become immortal. The Yuan-Ti, who coveted the capital city of Omu, instead turned her into a gorgon. Zalkore was then exiled to Nangalore by her royal council.
	+ King Daemon, the husband of Zalkore, led the exile efforts against Zalkore and killed Thiru-Taya, the queen’s loyal guard and secret lover. His reign was short and cursed with plagues, famine, and crime.
	+ Worshippers believe the Chultan god Ubtao abandoned the island nation around the same time.
	+ Without Zalkore and Ubtao, Omu descended into chaos. Many citizens fled the city.

These groups built shrines to their respective gods and often violently clashed with one another. The faiths killed Princess Visenya. However, Prince Viserys was able to flee the city. King Daemon also escapes.
	+ All of this strife attracted the attention of Acererak, an arch lich who travels between dimensions only to bring them death. He slayed the nine gods and enslaved the Omuan people. He used these slaves to build the Tomb of Annihilation, which acts as the final resting place for the nine gods. It’s full of death traps so that Acererak can feed off the souls of any invaders.
	+ King Daemon returned to the city to broker peace with Acererak before the tomb was completed. Acererak curses Daemon to live forever as a mummy inside the tomb. Princess Visenya suffers a similar fate as a skull.
