The tharchioness of Alaor is a skilled military commander and sailor. She has held this position for decades despite many conspiracies to replace her, and despite the death of her brother Mikal, who was one of her strongest allies. She remains neutral in the conflict between Szass Tam and the other zulkirs, but the time may come when she is required to make a choice between the two groups.

The Canos: This family is on the rise politically. Though there are no Red Wizards involved with this group, they number a Tharchion, Mikal Canos of Delhumide, and a Tharchioness, Thessaloni Canos of the Alaor. The family has built itself up by its military reputation.
The Tharch of Alaor. This small Tharch comprises the island in the Alamber Sea that serves as the main naval base of the Thayan fleet. For a country with one seaport, Thay keeps a large number of warship keels afloat. This is the largest naval establishment, with the secondary, and only other, base in Bezantur.
The Tharchion of Alaor is Thessaloni Canos, sister of Mikal Canos and a 10th level lawful evil Lord. The Red Wizards recognized the quality of each of these commanders but also decided that putting them in close proximity would be hazardous to the health of their regime, so they are almost as far as possible apart as they can be without being in other countries.

Tharch of Alaor. This small but important tharch comprises the small island of Alaor off the Thayan coast, site of Thay’s largest naval base. Tharchioness Thessaloni Canos has managed to keep ahold of her office for the last three decades in the face of considerable conflict and rivalry from other Thayan politicians, as well as the death of her brother Mikal, who was a strong supporter.
Facilities here were heavily damaged during the Salamander War and were replaced with more up-to-date and sophisticated installations. See “Armed Forces” below for more information on the Thayan navy.
