Chult was located at the westernmost end of the Chultan Peninsula, in the southern part of the Trackless Sea, off the coast of Calimshan. As a result of the Spellplague, Chult was cut off from the mainland, becoming an island during much of the 15th century DR, but following the Second Sundering it was reunited with the mainland. Regardless, Chult had always been remote and isolated owing to its tall mountains and dense jungles full of savage beasts, massive dinosaurs, and debilitating disease. Nevertheless, Chult was also a land of great riches that never failed to draw adventurers.
