With the Thayan Civil war now decades in the past, a war where Szass Tam was victorious, all Thayan Enclaves have become independent wizard orders. Members of the old Zulkir Council have been killed or fled Thay as a new Council was filled with vampires, liches, and other undead. With the landscape of Thay changing and Bane becoming an even a more dominate religion, political refugees have become popular in Enclaves all across Faerûn. These Enclaves continue to strive to keep their culture and wealth while many of them have been placed under local rule. A rule that is still seen as foreign to many of them.

	One of these Enclaves is the Thayan Enclave of Aquor. Its become a fairly popular choice for those wishing to place themselves as far away from Thay as they can. The former head of the Enclave, [[Alcazar Telrune\|Alcazar Tel'Rune]], has left and is rumored to have gained a considerable amount of wealth and power under the rule of Szass Tam. Some fear he has left behind spies and servants to keep an eye on things as a new master has taken over the Enclave.		One of these Enclaves is the Thayan Enclave of Aquor.

	The new head of the Thayan Enclave of Aquor was met with great concern as he is a known demonologist, The Zulkir of Conjuration, and declared enemy of Szass Tam. Though no longer recognized as Zulkir in Thay, Nevron continues to use the title in open dispute. With the Thayan Enclave no longer considered a state ~~unto itself on Sundren soil~~, Zulkir Nevron has bent the knee to House Pendraig.

He is a known demonologist, The Zulkir of Conjuration, and declared enemy of Szass Tam and by extension the newly reformed Thay. Though no longer recognized as Zulkir in Thay, Nevron continues to use the title in open dispute of his reduced station. With the Thayan Enclave no longer considered a sovereign state, Zulkir Nevron has reluctantly bent the knee to House Pendraig. Red Wizards of Thay no more, this Enclave is now the Red Wizards of Aquor.

	===Thayan Caste===		===Thayan Caste===
	~~The~~ Thayans have a very rigid caste system, one based not only on race but on family line. ~~Only nobles are usually allowed to become~~ Red Wizards, ~~and only those~~ of Mulan decent are ~~considered for~~ the ~~position~~. Rashemi and other races are considered lesser beings, and as such are treated as though they are ~~under~~ the Mulani Red Wizards.		Traditionally the Thayans have had a very rigid caste system, one based not only on race but on family line. Most Red Wizards come from noble stock, most often of Mulan decent, but there have been situations were a talented Rashemi have entered their ranks. These Rashemi have only been accepted to increase their numbers and often have a harder time within the Red Wizards than those from the right family. Fire Genasi and Tieflings born to Red Wizard families are often accepted within the Mulan culture, even celebrated to a degree. This is proof that you come from a noble wizard line that is powerful enough to travel the planes. But due to the nature of these races, Fire Genasi being too impatient and Tieflings too untrustworthily - both seen as lacking the discipline, they have never been made Red Wizards. Most Rashemi and other races are considered lesser beings, and as such are treated as though they are below the Mulani Red Wizards. Now with Szass Tam having won the war, the living people of Thay have been increasingly disregarded. Those Red Wizards now in power fully embrace a new existence as vampires, liches and other servitors of undeath. Most Red Wizards choosing exile still hold to the old ways, compromising when needed.

	====Slaves====		====Slaves====
	Slaves make up the vast majority of the Thayan population. They can be of any human race as Thay imports them from other countries regularly. Elves are rare, and anything else is practically non-existent. Most of the slaves are procured legally with other nations, despite fearful claims of Thayan slavery parties. While Thay used to conquer and raid for its slaves, most are now prisoners from other governments sold to them as payment for the economic boost their Enclaves provide.		Slaves make up the vast majority of the Thayan population. They can be of any human race as Thay imports them from other countries regularly. Elves are rare, seen as too problematic and weak to be slaves, and anything else is practically non-existent. Most of the slaves are procured legally with other nations, despite fearful claims of Thayan slavery parties. While Thay used to conquer and raid for its slaves, most are now prisoners from other governments sold to them as payment for the economic boost their Enclaves provide.

	Slaves are not allowed to cut their hair except in the very rare situations that a master wishes them to. If a slave goes sick and has to have its hair cut, it is often kept in isolation until its hair grows back. Usually, a slave that does have its hair cut is one a master has grown fond with (such slaves can even sometimes be given their own private estates and attain some measure of power. However, they can never be freed. Once a slave, always a slave). Slaves that are granted permission to have their hair cut are still not allowed to have it cut shorter than halfway down the back.

			====Thayan Knights====
			The Thayan Knight is a person who is dedicated to Thay and to the protection of their masters, the Red Wizards. They are not knights in the traditional holy warrior or chastising armsman way, but are brutal, vicious warriors that will do absolutely anything to see their duties fulfilled. They can be cruel, they can be terrible, but above all else they are loyal to their masters' wishes.

			They are powerful warriors, and well respected insofar as they are guardians of the rulers of Thay.

	====Schooling====		====Schooling====
	Schools are the most important aspect of the Red Wizard society, and one's power base is often measured in how many, how good, and how loyal the other members of their school are. High-ranking members of another school don't have nearly as much power over low-ranking members that are outside of their own school, and, while they can make threats, backing up those threats takes careful politicking and maneuvering in order to make a reality.
