Hezass Nymar prided himself on being a practical man. Let others perish with their convictions, he was a survivor who took advantage of the slightest change in the wind. Loyalty to himself above all others. That was his motto. And when the time had come, now decades ago when he was a young man saved from slavers, he had readily accepted the aid 'offered' by his saviors. Not that they really gave him much of a choice, but still, their aid had saved him time and again when he should have fallen or failed despite his best efforts. He sometimes even wondered if the entire affair had been manufactured by his 'mysterious allies' simply as a way to try and force his allegiance to them.
Be that as it may, through the second chances and beyond that they had afforded him, he had become a Kossuthan priest of some power in Thay. But more impressively, riding the wave of pro-Firelord sentiment that swept through Thay in the wake of the Salamander War, he was selected by none other than the powerful Szass Tam himself to rule the Lapendrar tharch after Tharchion Tenslayer perished during the ill-advised war. How he had managed that was a secret he would guard with his life, although he strongly suspected the hand of his 'mysterious allies' played a big part in it.
So when the near-mythical Masked One had been waiting in his chambers of the Heirarch's Palace in Amruthar immediately following his coronation as tharchion, he knew the time had come to begin repayment on the debt he owed his saviors. Now, almost two years later, the Masked One and he were back in the same chambers yet again.
"How," he asked after his moment of reverie had passed and he was back in the present "Does this benefit me or the Lapendrar tharch? I could care less about Pyarados, but it sounds like you want the Tuigans to overrun all of Thay which is decidedly bad for me and my aspirations."
The Masked One hissed his displeasure in a sigh. "You are not meant to understand. The big picture, however, will benefit Thay and our plans here - which is what you *should* be concerned with. You have the resources I need to deal with the keep, which is what we need. See that you do so. NOW."
Hezass glowered at empty chair for a time after the Masked One left. Then the headache started to return, reminding him of his obligation. For the hundredth time again he prayed to Kossuth to remove the geas, and all he got in answer was a pounding migraine. Holding his head in his hands, he stood shakily, cursing his saviors.
The Horselords would soon arrive, and the horde would not be able to sweep into Thay unless he did as commanded.

This is yet another new campaign brought to you by Thayan and your DM team! It will be an open campaign, which will be comprised of around 6-8 events held during the next 3-4 weeks (so relatively short, by my standards!).
If you wish to join most (or all) of the events, I suggest joining an announced event with a PC in the level 8-12 range. Since there will be some combat-heavy events coming up, those events will be targeted for PCs within that range to make sure the battles aren’t too lopsided. However you don’t need to attend all events to participate in this campaign. So if you have a PC outside of that range you want to join the event, feel free to do so if I haven’t specified any level restriction for the event.
The first event for this campaign will be held this Tuesday, December 10, at 7:00 PM CST. This event will be open to all, but as there will likely be some combat, I’d recommend using a PC close to the level 8-12 range.
