Dungeons & Dragons "World of Greyhawk "campaign setting , Sulm refers to an ancient Flan kingdom which once occupied much of theBright Desert , in the days when it was a fertile land.History
The Kingdom of Sulm came to prominence circa -1900 CY. Throughout its history, the kingdom spent much of its time crushing its neighbors. Only the Kingdom of
Itar was strong enough to stand against Sulm, though it, too, would eventually fall.Sulm began its slow decline circa -1400 CY, some say due to the influence of
Nerull and other dark powers. Some seven centuries later, circa -700 CY, the Kingdom of Sulm fell, destroyed by its last king,Shattados , who used the power of a dark artifact known as theScorpion Crown in an attempt to gain perpetual dominion over his subjects. Instead, the crown turned Shattados into a giganticscorpion , and his people intomanscorpions anddune stalkers . The land itself was even changed, transformed into a vast wasteland now known as theBright Desert .References
