Sekras

Sekras was a ruined city located in the country of Unther during the mid–14^th century DR.^[4]^[1]^[2]^[3]

Geography[]

Sekras sat along the shore of the Blue Sword River in close proximity to the border with Mulhorand.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[5]

Activities[]

As of the Year of the Prince, 1357 DR, a machine that filtered salt from Azulduth from the river still operated in Sekras. Only a handful of priests of Thoth understood how it worked.^[4]

History[]

In the time of ancient Mulhorand, Sekras was known for contributing to the development of new weapon technologies. Between -700 DR and -200 DR, many advancements were made in the development of Mulhorandi swords, such as the khopesh.^[4]

Sekras was once the center of worship of Sebek, the Lord of Crocodiles. The city thus became infested with werecrocodiles, prompting paladins of Osiris to eradicate them in the Year of the Grisly Ghosts, 1183 DR.^[4]^[6] Sekras was reduced to ruins during this process,^[4] prompting many of the surviving werecrocodiles to flee to the Adder Swamp^[7] and the Lake of Salt.^[8] The paladins who drove them out went on to found the Brotherhood of Those Who Smile in the Face of Death.^[9]

As of the mid-to-late 14^th century DR, the ruins were once again notable for the presence of werecrocodiles.^[4]
