Farid al Nisr

This information is intended for use with the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.

At a Glance

A wizard and a Harper, of Calimshan. Lover (and, after circa 1372, husband) of Syllia Adarbrent.

Farid’s father Fahd yn Sarsor al Nisr is a First Yshelem of the Rundeen. Farid’s involvement with Syllia has prompted to Fahd to develop an interest in the Adarbrent shipping fortune… and, presumably, the access to Waterdhavian nobility and politics afforded by his connection to the family. Farid is unaware or has neglected to inform his lady love of his father’s affiliation and motives.

Zulkirs

This information is intended for use with the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.


At a Glance

The Zulkirs number eight; one for each school of magic. In theory, they form a council which leads the Red Wizards and rule the nation of Thay. In practice, each forms temporary alliances only in the interest of furthering their own agenda and personal power. None is recognized as the sole sovereign of Thay, but all are afforded the deference due a king and the reverence due a god; death (and perhaps subsequent undeath) is the usual price of disrespect.

The first Zulkirs declare themselves the masters of Thay in 1030 DR, and successfully defend themselves and impose their will on the commoners and lesser wizards for the next 44 years. After that point they are generally accepted in Thay. Individual challengers have come and gone since then, but no large-scaled resistance has been successfully mounted.
