Mulhorand is an ancient empire of great wealth and power, ruled by the descendents of the god-kings who led the original slave rebellion against fallen Imaskar. Today, the ponderous nation secures its place in the new era through economics rather than domination, including with nearby Durpar and Estagund. While the gold of Mulhorand may be greater than that of the Shining Lands, having had millennia to accrue, the Pharaoh's coin certainly can buy no more than the Durpari nations'; much of the realm's attention goes to protecting vital trade routes in the Eastern Shaar from the raiding monsters of Veldorn.

Being quite some distance from Freehold, Mulhorand is mostly a collection of travelers' stories than a substantial force, in the eyes of the villagers. They have an ally there, however, in the Adio merchant family, thanks to their retribution against the Ghauwffhwa during the slavers' raid. In recompense for punishing the gnolls' attack on their caravan, Adio representative Bakari allowed Freehold to keep the remaining trade goods recovered after the altercation, and carried tidings back to his superiors of the settlement's tenacity and integrity. What word of Freehold has since spread in the old northern country is yet unknown.
