Thay

Thay is a mysterious and terribly powerful magocratic nation in east Faerun, that was long-governed by the Zulkirs of the Red Wizards. During the late 15th century DR, it was ruled by the necromancer lich Szass Tam, along with the Council of Zulkirs, who were supported by a near-endless chain of bureaucrats and local tharchions. The true nature of Thay laid in the endless pursuit of arcane knowledge and power by the country's elite, a dynamic that was fueled by rampant slavery. This driving force permeated the country's dark history.
However, due to the nation's massive use of slavery and undead in the workforce, thayan citizens were among the most educated in the world. Thayan artistry is world renowned, despite the country's beautiful exterior hiding a dark heart.
