       Nathlan was originally a hereditary monarchy of similar
       ethnicity to the people of Cormyr. However, at the height of the
       power of High Imaskar, the royal family of Nathlan sought to
       ensure their independence by marrying into the Shou Dynasty.
       Princess Arianne Atreides married Prince Liu Xian, the second
       eldest son of the Shou Dynasty, and thus the ruling bloodline of
       Nathlan became a junior branch of the Shou.
       Liu Xian's son, Liu Han, sought to consolidate his power over
       the region and stimulate the flagging economy by bringing in
       workers from the Shou empire. Eventually, this created a state
       that was primarily ethnically Shou. It was during this time that
       the Great Monastery of Xian was constructed, in honor of Han's
       father.
       The North of Nathlan is the most urbanized area of the nation, a
       veritable patchwork of classical Cormyrn and Shou architecture.
       Here you can find the many influences of the Guild of the Golden
       Dragon, and other criminal elements spilling over from the
       Dragon Coast. Central and Southern Nathlan are primarily rural,
       with few notably large settlements, excepting the Great
       Monastery. The valley in which Nathlan sits creates ideal
       weather conditions for growing rice and grain, so food is in
       abundance, even long after the last harvests before winter have
       been brought in.
       Some say the best beer in all of Faerun comes from Nathlan.
