quer Rashemen. Nevron’s legions are powerful and
include many enchanted creatures. He’s confident
that the current alliance’s goal will be achieved and
be achieved soon.
Druxus Rhym, Zulkir of Alteration (Human
male 24th-level transmuter), AC 9; MV 12; hp 27;
THAC0 13; #AT 1; Dmg By weapon; SZ M; ML 17;
AL NE; XP 18,000.
S 11, D 15, C 13, I 18, W 12, Ch 14.
Spells: 8/8/8/8/8/8/8/8/7 (includes bonus spells).
Special Equipment: ring of shooting stars, staff of
thunder and lightning and Devourer.
Devourer is an enchanted dagger (treat as a +1 for
determining if beings can be struck by it). It inflicts
1d10 points of damage, may be thrown as an axe of
hurling, discharges a 10-dice lightning bolt three times
per day, and allows it wielder to teleport without error
once per day.
Description: This 62-year-old wizard is 5’8”, weighs
175 lbs, and his bald pate is covered in tattoos. He
strongly supports Szass Tam’s bid to overthrow the
other zulkirs and build an empire. To this end, he coordinates
many of the lich’s activities, both within
and without Thay itself. If PCs ever come to contest
one of Tam’s schemes, it’s entirely likely that Rhym
will be the one to deal with them, directly or indirectly
by issuing the appropriate commands to the
appropriate creatures.
Tharchion Aznar Thrul, Zulkir of Invocation/
Evocation (Human male 23rd-level invoker), AC
4; MV 12; hp 43; THAC0 13; #AT 1; Dmg By
weapon; SZ M; ML 19; AL CE; XP 17,000.
S 13, D 12, C 17, I 18, W 13, Ch 15.
Spells: 8/8/8/8/8/8/8/8/6 (includes bonus spells).
Special Equipment: manual of golems, ring of protection
+4, robe of Rukhyon*, staff of power, vampiric dagger*.
Description: This 6’3”, 175 lb., bald, black-eyed
man is the only mage to hold both the titles of
zulkir and tharchion. He’s cruel, savage, and represents
the greatest challenge to Szass Tam’s plotted
overthrow of the current Thayan political system—
such as it is. Thrul’s current gambit to lessen Tam’s
role in Thay’s future is to ensure that the planned
invasion of Rashemen is successful-thus diverting
attention from Tam and his schemes. However, if
the invasion fails, his confederates, Lauzoril and
Nevron, will bear the blame, leaving him untouched
and able to continue his opposition to the
Zulkir of Necromancy. Thrul always maintains his
hit-point total at maximum through the use of his
vampiric dagger.
Yaphyll, Zulkir of Divination (Human female
19th-level diviner), AC 4; MV 12; hp 38; THAC0
14; #AT 1; Dmg By weapon; SZ M; ML 18; AL LE;
XP 13,000.
S 9, D 15, C 12, I 18, W 17, Ch 15.
Spells: 8/8/8/8/8/6/6/6/4 (includes bonus spells).
Special Equipment: amulet of perpetual youth, cloak
of protection +2, ring of elemental metamorphosis-fire
(ToM), ring of protection +3, staff +3.
Description: This 5’4”, 130 lb, zulkir is bald, tattooed,
and has blue eyes. While she appears to be no
more than 30 (thanks to her amulet), she is in truth
65 years old. She’s dedicated to Szass Tam as Thay’s
rightful ruler; and as the nation’s foremost prognosticator,
her word carries much weight.
