Chris Perkins and ‪@ToddKenreck‬ talk about Red Wizards who are the would-be magical overlords of Faerûn.
Feared by the general public as evil tyrants, Red Wizards trade their magical inventions for steel, silk, and gold.
As magical artificers of great skill, they command high prices, and are not afraid to extend credit-for there are few who could survive an unpaid debt to these wizards.#dnd

You didn't mention the thing that pisses them off the most: The savage barbarians and witches of Rashemen, and their ancestor spirits, who have constantly waged war and pushed the Red Wizards back for centuries, despite being direct neighbors.

One of the best books about Thay is the novel series The Haunted Lands. It pretty succinctly outlines how devastatingly powerful and knowledgeable Szass Tam is, as well as how incandescently practical and evil he is. He is a master of the highest order in every school of magic, but is transcendent in the field of Necromancy. For example, he was able to project illusions of himself across an entire city, having them all operate in unique ways. This was a feat of illusion magic the Zulkir of Illusion could only guess as how he accomplished it. He was also able to cause his fiend summoning enemies to summon vampiric demons to infiltrate their ranks. As a finishing touch, when fighting several other Zulkeirs he turns each of their schools of magic against them to add insult to injury, turning the Zulkier of Conjuration into a Mane, and transmuting the body of the Zulkeir of Transmutation into gas and liquid

i saw the DnD youtube channel, Spell&Shield, talk about how the Red Wizards might be part of the Baldurs gate 3 story. A minor spoiler is... the fact that we find a book of the dead that referances the nercomancers of Thay which let me belive they will be part of the game in some way.

@ronben-ezer8373 Жыл бұрын

also a very nice piece of lore, Thay wasn't always like this. Around a century or two ago, Szass Tam, who at the time was just one member of the country's ruling council, managed to successfully overthrow the others in a revolution that resulted in necromancy (as he was a necromancer) becoming the primary school of Thay and the nation reaching it's current state edit: watched the movie and *spoiler alert, scroll if you don't want spoilers* it was literally shown in there lol, that's awesome

Yes, the Red Wizards are evil little bastards. Unfortunately in the Tyranny of Dragons campaign they are a necessary evil. The Waterdeep War Council know the Thayan Red Wizards are a significant threat in Faerún, but also know that Tiamat is a far greater threat. It boils down to, "Yeah we really hate them, but we can't afford to turn down allies in the potential end of the world".

Does Szass Tam have any connection with Vecna? Which would win in a Necro-off?

@ShadowmancerLord Жыл бұрын

No. Vecna was born and taught on a different planet, Oerth, since he started in Greyhawk. Szass Tam almost certainly knows OF Vecna but they have never interacted canonically. And Vecna probably wins, since he is a god and has an artifact that rewinds time

@01535016151189 Жыл бұрын

Perhaps there’s a novel or six in there about a struggle between Szass Tam and Vecna? But hopefully not an alliance! Although I’d venture to guess any alliance would be fairly short-lived (ha) since what I’ve heard of both of them seems to indicate each would want to be in charge.

I really love D&D, but I really don't care about the lore or history... which is why it is so awesome. The rules and core system created by Jeremy and team is what I am really into while others eat this lore stuff up and love to play in the worlds that Chris's team of amazing writers keep creating. It's cool how people can get such different things out of the game.

@theophrastusbombastus1359 Жыл бұрын

The world of "Forgotten Realms" was created by Ed Greenwood and sold to TSR back in the 80s (I think). He still wrote many stories and campaign guides since then. WotC have license to change things as the timeline moves on and they create new adventures - but it's all based on the stuff EG created before there was anything resembling what we now call D&D PS. I appreciate this maybe isn't your thing but I thought I'd leave this here for any that are new to the game and want to look up some further reading
