Mulhorand
Mulhorand ( pronounced : / m ə l ˈ h oʊ r ɑː n d / muhl-HOH-rand ) was one of the Old Empires in eastern Faerûn . The Mulhorandi were among the peoples brought to Toril from another world by the Imaskar Empire to serve as slaves. After countless praises, Ao contacted Ptah who led a part of the Mulhorandi pantheon to Toril. Ironically, their rival in the millennia to come was another human tribe captured by the Imaskari at the same time, which founded the empire of Unther .
