"0": "By: Incartus of the Shiro Clan\n\nMemoir Of The Oni\n\n\"Write what you know.\"\n\" a truth uniquely mine.\"\n\nThay was a nation in east Faerûn.\n\nGeography:\nIt was a dark and forbidding land of windswept mountains and badlands.\n\nRegions\nPlateau of Thay\nFirst Escarpment\nSecond Escarpment\nMountains\nThaymount\nSunrise Mountains\nSeas\nWizards' Reach\nAlamber Sea\nLakes\nLake Thaylambar\nRivers\nRiver Lapendrar\nRiver Thay\nRiver of the Dawn\nRiver Umber\nRiver Thazarim\nSwamps\nSurmarsh\n\nGovernment\nPrior to Szass Tam's elevation to supreme ruler of Thay, the land was ruled by a council of eight powerful mages known as Zulkirs, each of whom specialized in a different school of magic. During the chaos of the Spellplague, Szass Tam named himself regent and eventually became the one true power in Thay. The Zulkirs thereafter served as Szass Tam's vassals.\n\nTharchions, the civil governors of the realm, ruled over the various tharchs, or regions of Thay.\n\nTharchs\nThe tharchs were the eleven regions of Thay, each ruled by a separate tharchion.\n\nAlaor: ruled by Tharchion Thessaloni Canos\nDelhumide: ruled by Tharchion Invarri Metron\nEltabbar: ruled by Tharchion Dmitra Flass, also made Zulkir of Illusion somewhere between 1375 DR and 1385 DR\nGauros: ruled by Tharchion Azhir Kren\nLapendrar: ruled by Tharchion Eseldra Yeth since the death of Hezass Nymar in 1385 DR.\nPriador: the tharchion position was vacant since Aznar Thrul was murdered in 1375 DR\nPyarados: ruled by Tharchion Nymia Focar\nSurthay: ruled by Tharchion Homen Odesseiron\nThaymount: ruled by Tharchion Pyras Autorian\nThazalhar: the tharchion position was vacant since Milsantos Daramos died in 1382 DR of old age.\nTyraturos: ruled by Tharchion Dimon, also a priest of Bane\n\nEconomy\nThe nation relied heavily on slavery, a practice heavily frowned upon by nations throughout the north and northwestern Faerûn. In Thay itself the Zulkirs and other prominent Red Wizards grew rich beyond imagination from this sinister trade. From their strongholds and estates, they used this wealth to constantly scheme and plot the mercantile and military domination of their neighbor nations.\n\nSlavery\nSlavery was a common branch of trade in Thay. Slave markets were restocked with war prisoners, conquered Rashemi or people that are sold into slavery. While folk of Mulan descent removed all body hair (at least on the head) and Rashemi freemen at least clipped their hair short, slaves were not allowed to cut their hair at all. They could be easily distinguished by the heavy and filthy mass of hair they wear.\n\nHistory \nThe nation of Thay came about when a sect, calling itself the Red Wizards, declared its freedom from the god kings of Mulhorand. The sect's center of strength was in the northern provinces where the natives did not have the inbred reverence for the god-kings. After razing the city of Delhumide they declared themselves the free nation of Thay in 922 DR. Since then Mulhorand has had to defend themselves, quite successfully, against two invasions from Thay.\n\nThe armies of Thay have marched on Aglarond and Rashemen many times and folk fear that the time will soon come when the Zulkirs mobilize again. On the reverse, few invaders have ever overcome the great mountains girding the Plateau of Thay, and the secretive and suspicious Red Wizards raise barriers just as formidable to discourage travelers from venturing into their lands.\n\nIn 1375 DR, Szass Tam set in motion a series of events such as the murder of the zulkirs of Transmutation, Druxus Rhym, and Evocation, Aznar Thrul, crafting an undead army with the atropal, Xingax, from the bodies of slaves and prisoners of war, portraying a failed unauthorized Thayan invasion on a Rashemi town by the Tharchions, Azhir Kren and Homen Odesseiron, as a Rashemi invasion onto Thayan soil stopped by the great casualties of Thayan soldiers and his 'timely' rescue of the invading force. All of these actions created a climate of fear within the nation of the Red Wizards and endearing him to the people as a savior that could end the country's woes.\n\nHis plot was uncovered by his former confidant Dmitra Flass, who put the puzzle together and alerted the remaining zulkirs, obviously excluding the lich. When Szass Tam proposed to make himself 'temporary regent' to end all the suffering of the nation and crush the undead forces and other such troubles, the five of the six zulkirs voted against his proposition with only Yaphyll, zulkir of Divination, abstaining to vote. Szass Tam immediately had the Order of Necromancy under his control alert the common folk that the beloved hero of Thay had be denied from ending their suffering. Riots erupted in the streets, which he also used to his advantage, taking control over garrison commanders and summoning demons to kill the rioters. The appearance of the Tanar'ri did nothing to behoove the reputation of Nevron's Order of Conjuration, as they believe his servant had summoned the demons to fight. Szass Tam appeared all over the city to quell the fighting, endearing him to the people even more.\n\nSoon afterword, much of the undead force had been destroyed and the nighthaunt and Angel of decay leaders had been obliterated along with much of the Burning Braziers, the later thanks to the rigged magical torches he had given them, Szass Tam openly declared himself ruler of all Thay, thus declaring war against the remaining zulkirs of Thay. Hell had come to Thay.\n\nThayans believed that the gods sent luck to the strong and resolute, not to the gentle and compassionate.",
