At a Glance

Chessenta is an Inner Sea realm, established in 929 DR by Untheric dissidents led by Tchazzar. Following their new King’s disappearance during a dracorage in 1018 DR, the nation splintered. When the Spellplague hits in 1385 DR, Chessenta is still a war-torn region of aggressively independent cities and towns.
