Hezass Nymar

Tharch of Lapendrar. Comprising the River Lapendrar from Amruthar south, this tharch once encompassed only the east bank of the river. Since the elemental campaign and the Salamander War, the Thayans have managed to hold most of the river’s surrounding territory, though many areas are patrolled and garrisoned only sparsely.
Currently under the control of tharchion Hezass Nymar, a priest of Kossuth in the pocket of a number of wealthy Red Wizards, Lapendrar was once considerably more important due to its central role in the invasion of the coastal cities in 1357. After the death of its Theskborn tharchion Hargrid Tenslayer and the formation of the new tharch of the Priador, the Lapendrar declined somewhat in importance. Nymar claims much more territory than he actually controls, including the coastal cities of Taskaunt, Lasdur, Tilbrand, and - much to its citizens’ amusement - Laothkund. The Thayans retain a firm grip on the port city of Escalant, which has become an important economic asset.
Somewhat vague and weak willed, Nymar is a supporter of the wizards who oppose Szass Tam. He does little to actively help them, leading some to suggest his replacement.
Tharchion of Lapendrar
NE hm C8 [Kossuth]
Nymar is a corrupt cleric of Kossuth, puppet to a faction of powerful Red Wizards. He does as he is told, maintaining Lapendrar as a successful and prosperous realm. He realizes that his life of luxury will end if Szass Tam comes to power, so he backs the necromancer’s rivals.

Hezass Nymar (NE male human Clr 8 of Kossuth) rules the tharch of Lapendrar. Weak-willed and corrupt, he does whatever the zulkirs tell him. Those within his church believe that the Firelord will soon come to cleanse Nymar of his weakness, and his fellow clerics debate whether he will survive the cleansing. If he were removed from office, the church would push to have another cleric of Kossuth take his place.
