Calimshan is a wealthy land of merchants, slaves and thieves on the south-western coast of Faerûn.
Calish_te value wealth and status, but mostly as means to an end: a luxurous and idle life. People in Calimshan are seperated by social class and respecting them is very important. Status alone does not define one’s influence, however, as underground plotting and backstabbing are a large part of the decadent Calish_te culture.
Calish_te consider themselves superior to the “barbarian” humans in neighbouring lands and like to think they are among the few civilized peoples of Faerûn. Family is the most important unit in a Calish_te’s life, and loyalty to kin often surpasses loyalty to a deity. Speaking of deities, the whole of the Faerûnian pantheon is revered in Calimshan, but Tyr, Azuth, Talos, Shar and Ilmater are among the more popular ones.
The Calish_te people have dusky brown skin and hair, and are generally a bit smaller than other humans. Other than Calimshan, they can be found in Tethyr, Amn, Vilhon Reach and other nearby areas.
