The Nexalans (or Nexala) were the largest ethnicity living in Maztica. They were one of the seven major tribes of Mazticans. When most folk in Faerûn used the term "Maztican", they were most likely referring to Nexalans, as Nexalans were the only people of Maztica who had traveled to the east as of 1372 DR. The peoples of the four nations of Nexal, Pezelac, Huacli, and Kultaka were all Nexalans.
