Lapendrar
Hezass Nymar (NE male human Clr8 of Kossuth) is the tharchion
of Lapendrar. This tharch begins at the southeastern
edge of the Second Escarpment and rolls down to the borders
of Thesk and Aglarond. This territory features many important
cities, including Nethentir, Nethjet, Amruthar, and Escalant.
The River Umber flows through this territory before
reaching Aglarond, while the River Lapendrar forms the
tharch’s southern border until it empties into the Wizards’
Reach. The Eastern Way, one of the two major roads connecting
the southern portions of Thay, bisects this tharch.
Lapendrar is one of the least strongly held of all the
tharchs. Its border with Aglarond is constantly disputed, and
its largest city, Amruthar, is nominally independent of Thay.
This suits Nymar, who craftily maintains a compassionate and
generous manner unknown in the other tharchs. Many of his
fellows condemn Nymar as a well-connected weakling, but in
truth he is a master of treachery—most of his victims don’t
even realize it was he who orchestrated their downfall. Nymar
rules his tharch from an elegant palace of white marble in the
city of Escalant (the most recent addition to the Thayan
Empire) although he spends much of his time in Eltabbar,
scheming against his peers.
