Nymia Focar
Source: Spellbound (AD&D), circa 1368 DR
Tharch of Pyarados. Though Pyarados is a small tharch, it is important since it controls access to the Sunrise Mountains. The tharch reaps income from the mountain’ rich mineral deposits and from the motley crowds of adventurers who use Pyarados as their jumping-off place. The current tharchioness, Nymia Focar, was chosen after the removal of the realm’s former ruler, Valerios Theokillos, in the wake of the destruction of Thay’s Griffon Legion during the Tuigan invasion. Focar carries on Valerios’ policies, charging adventurers small fortunes for the most basic equipment, and raking in huge amounts of gold from taxes on mining operations in the Sunrise Mountains.
As Focar derives considerable personal wealth from the Thayan system as it stands, she opposes Szass Tam but takes little active role in the struggle.
Tharchioness of Pyarados
CE hf F9
Focar’s major interest is maintaining her personal fortune by skimming profits from Thayan mining operations and overcharging adventurers who wish to travel into the Sunrise Mountains. She is vain, petty, and greedy, and opposes Szass Tam.

Nymia is handsome with a wide, sensuous mouth. She has several silver rings in each ear and a stud in the left side of her nose.
Nymia is often friendly and informal with her underlings, sometimes even taking them to her bed. However, she can turn into a ferocious disciplinarian when encountering a setback, sometimes even flogging soldiers who'd played no part in whatever had gone amiss - often her former lovers were the ones who wound up tied to the whipping post.
