Thayan Enclave

Summary

Quick Traits:

• Less secretive about their work; 'show-off' what they have achieved
• Up-tight and arrogant; believe everyone is below them and are like 'dirt' or 'slaves'
• Very clean and keep everything tidy
• Don't get their hands "dirty"; use diplomacy and gold to work their way out of things
• Main users of drugs, slaves and prostitution in Sundren and see this as something normal

The Thayan Enclave is considered a state unto itself on Sundren soil. While others may not quite understand why Sundren's laws do not apply to such an entity, they are quite literally a foreign diplomatic embassy. As such, the laws of Sundren do not reach past its gates, where only the laws of Thay hold power.

The Thayans have had a vested interest in Sundren ever since Mundus himself hired them to open the way into the valley. As such, they have decided to place one of their many Enclaves within Aquor. This Enclave serves as a base for all the Thayan Knights as well as their Red Wizard masters. No one quite knows what they do in there, but the Red Wizards are always pleased to meet a potential customer, depending on how much gold he has on hand.

Their organization is run by a council of Masters, each specializing in a specific school of magic. The head of the entire Enclave is the Master of Necromancy, or Alcazar Tel'rune. A lofty and powerful magi, he rules the Enclave with a will stronger than any metal.

Laws of Thay

Since the laws of Sundren aren't applicable within the Enclave walls, the Thayans are always eager to provide Sundren inhabitants a list of the proper rules and regulations that govern their stronghold. This list is for any and all Thayans moving to Sundren to begin their careers as magi or knights.

Leadership/People of Note

Classes: Wizard/Red Wizard

Tao is the master Diviner of the Red Wizards. Her divining sight and skill with divination is unparalleled despite her affliction. She is eccentric and tends to poke her nose in the business of others. She dislikes the use of slaves but does not work to stop others from using them. She feels slavery weakens individuals who need to work for what they have and grow. Tao despises death and murder, as she receives the strongest visions when such occurs as well as the horrors afterward. These often feel as though she herself has died. So her actions tend not to kill, only disable.

Tao's hair is longer than that of other Red Wizards. This is due to her disbelief in slavery. This often causes other Red wizards to look down upon her, as a shaved head is a sign of nobility. However, she is careful not to allow her hair to grow too long, often clipping it herself.
