[QUOTE="gyor, post: 7495120, member: 6670153"] Correction Desert of Desolation is not in Greyhawk, it was originally settingless, but in 2e it got reconned into being in the Forgotten Realms, it also got expanded upon. The Bakkar Civilization became the greatest survivor state of Imaskar, it traded heavily with Mulhorand and may have been a vessel state of Mulhorand like Mugolm and Semphar were. It was important to the trade between Mulhorand and Durpur, as it allowed easier trade through the desert. They seemed to have even worshipped Mulhorand Gods among others, including deities from the Norse and Greek Pantheons no one else on Faerun seems to worship, like Prometheaus. The Bakkar like the Mulhorandi had Pharohs, but mortal ones, until the last Pharoh angered Orsis with have evil and so the civilization and the Pharoh were cursed, ending Bakkar. I do not know what eventually became of the Bakkar after they abandoned their doomed cities. The Bakkar as far as I can tell were a mix of Imaskari and Mulhorandi culture with influences from new interplanar immigrants. Maybe they left for another plane or entered the Celestial Nadir. Anyways, Turmish is kind of Africanish, but with Italian sounding names and the only major Democractic nation in Faerun. Chult of course is a bit African, but it's intended to feel more lost world then African traditional. FR does have an African themed continent, Katashaka I believe, but it's mostly unexplored. It's where the Chultan people origined from. There the Tarrassque is actually worshipped as a child of their God. [/QUOTE]
