Amn is a foreign nation that previously controlled Port Nyanzaru through colonial rule. Until nine years before the adventure, Amn held firm control over the city, using it as a gateway to Chult’s resources and trade.
Loss of Control
Nine years ago, Amn was forced to relinquish control of Port Nyanzaru to avoid a bloody conflict with a wealthy Chultan merchant consortium backed by the Ytepka Society. The political situation made it clear that Amn would likely lose the city to independence regardless, prompting them to withdraw rather than fight. Since then, seven Chultan merchant princes have taken power and transformed the city into a thriving independent trading hub.
Current Influence
Despite losing direct control, Amn remains interested in Chult’s resources. Like other non-Lords’ Alliance powers such as Calimshan and Tethyr, Amn’s representatives in the region are actively undermined by Lords’ Alliance operatives working out of Port Nyanzaru. These agents work to prevent Amn from expanding its control over Chult’s vast resources, suggesting Amn continues to seek influence in the region through diplomatic and economic means.
