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.
