At a Glance

Sultim is the northernmost city of Mulhorand. It’s also the northern edge of the upland known locally as the Taranoth, which rises between Sultim and Skuld.

The city was besieged by the armies of Thay in 3233 (1098 DR) and 3415 (1280 DR), nearly suffering a breach of its walls in the latter assault. In both cases the embattled city was eventually spared by the arrival of the Imperial Legion. During each of these two attacks, Outer Sultim was decimated; the communities were razed and thousands of refugees were killed or scattered. Those who fled inundated the outlying villages, arriving just as the residents hastily fled the Thayvian invasion. The villages in the invader’s path were demolished but villagers returning to their homes to the east of the warpath after the invasions were defeated often found their homes sacked and their food supplies picked clean… not by the Thayvian armies but by the Sultimi refugees who took shelter in the village.

The church of Anhur is strongest in Sultim, and in addition to several significant temples hundreds of small shrines can be found throughout the city. Since 1280 DR, when Pharaoh Rehorusteb II blamed the church of Anhur for the Thayvian invasions, Sultim has been ruled by the incarnation of Anhur.
