A History of Thay - BigbysBackhand - 08-11-2011
As a country, Thay is relatively new but as a people, Thayans have been developing for many years. It is incredibly helpful to have the history at hand, but it is spread across different books and needs to be pinned down. More details can be found in the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting (3rd edition), Unapproachable East, Lost Empires of Faerun, Champions of Ruin, the Grand History of the Realms, and Lords of Darkness. Of course the last few years are within our own timiline, and i did not include "future" events as we havent reached them and they may or may not happen in our world. I found this rather useful as atleast one of these was an answer to a research Question :) o great and powerful DM's please feel free to add or subtract to this in any way to better fit our timeline or perhaps posting certain things to it that have happened within our own timline that may be useful knowledge :)
