Show notesThis week, Fiona and Hamilton finish their deep dive into 'Thay Land Of The Red Wizards', a regional sourcebook about the land of Thay, a mysterious and terribly powerful magocratic nation in east Faerûn, that was long-governed by the Zulkirs of the Red Wizards and ruled by the necromancer lich Szass Tam.From the 'Thay Land Of The Red Wizards' bio:'Known to the wider Forgotten Realms® as a sinister land of Red Wizards, slavers, and marching undead armies, Thay is the distant—or uncomfortably close—menace that “may become our doom if Szass Tam turns his attention in our direction.”And Thay is that, but it is also so much more. A truly magical land (thanks to a secret that even the goddess Mystra helps to keep) of rich culture, a rising middle class, ambitious nobles and Red Wizards who fear Szass Tam more than they hate him, but may soon be forced to defy him, and wealth beyond the imaginings of even wealthy and proud realms elsewhere.This tome is your guide to the Thay of right now, a valuable resource for Dungeon Masters and players alike. It sets forth the people and places of the Land of Red Wizards, what life is like, and seeds, hints, and secrets sufficient to spur adventures for years of enjoyment at your gaming table' Book discussed: 'Thay Land Of The Red Wizards' by Ed Greenwood, Alex Kammer, & Alan Patrick, published Feb 2022.Consider using our affiliate link when using DM's Guild!#SupportyourFLGSCredits The DM's Book Club is hosted, recorded, edited, and produced by Fiona Howat and Hamilton.The DM’s Book Club Logo was designed by Sam Robins (@Bobhatstand).The theme music is 'The Story Unfolds' by Jingle Punks.Get in touch!Email: [email protected]: @TheDMsBookClubLinktr.ee: DMBC#DMsBookClub
