Mezro

Before its destruction in The Spellplague, Mezro was the largest civilized population center in Chult. It was a holy place to the Tabaxi Tribe, being founded by their god Ubtao.

Geography and Layout

Mezro was built along the River Olung, which served as its southern and western borders. Thick jungle was found on the east and north. The city was circular and divided into four quarters by wide avenues stemming from the Temple of Ubtao at the center

History

The god Ubtao founded the city of Mezro in −2637 DR. He raised its temple and amphitheater directly from the chaos of the jungle.
In the Year of Blooded Sunsets (−137 DR), during the great war between the Tabaxi Tribe and the Eshowe, the shadow creature Eshowdow nearly brought the city to ruin.
The entire city became invisible around 863 DR. This was caused by a magical wall that was built around it. Not only did the wall render the city invisible but it also caused magical confusion to whomever came too close to its walls. It remained hidden like this for nearly 500 years until 1363 DR, when the rulers of Mezro decided to lower the magical defenses after a solid victory against the Batiri goblin tribe. After that time, travelers were once again welcomed in the city, and it saw a surge in growth.
In The Year of Blue Flame, 1385 DR, when The Spellplague struck the world, a great cataclysm separated the Chultan Peninsula from the rest of the continent. Mezro was destroyed in The Spellplague.
