Victory! The Salamander War is over!!!
In further defeats, the reeling Salamander armies have been virtually annihilated and scattered across the Wizard’s Coast and the Priador. While bands of Salamanders still roam the Priador, their power has been broken and with their leader dead, no reinforcements arrive to replenish their number. Very soon, with mercenaries and legionnaires hunting them, there will likely be none remaining.
A powerful army of Fire Elementals, along with Demons summoned by Zulkir Nevron and his conjurers, retook the city of Escalant from the largest remaining concentration of Salamanders several tenday ago. And Tharchioness Mari Agneh, about the same time, anxious and determined to make up for her legion’s stunning defeat outside of Bezantur rallied what troops and mercenaries she could and retook the towns of Thasselen and Murbant in the name of Thay. What few pockets of Lapendrar legionnaires who managed to survive the war have made their way back to the city of Escalant, while the Fire Elementals brought forth by either Thrul, the Flaming Brazier, or Kossuth himself, having served their purpose, have returned to their home plane.
This has caused Hezass Nymar, the newly appointed tharchion of the Lapendrar, and Mari Agneh to both lay claim to the finally-capture cities of the coast. To what tharch they will go remains a subject of intense debate among the zulkirs and representatives and powers of the two tharchs. It is said that Szass Tam himself helped appoint Nymar to his position and backs the inclusion of the newly captured territory into the tharch of the Lapendrar, while the now extremely-popular Aznar Thrul (and as a result the school of evocation seeking to negate Tam’s influence) along with the revered priesthood of the Flaming Brazier back Mari’s claim to the new territory.
But recent not-so-subtle whispers spread rumor that Mari Agneh has not been seen in Bezantur since shortly after returning from her successful conquest of Thasselen and Murbant. Whether or not this is true, already even less subtle ‘whispers’ have suggested that Aznar Thrul, the Savior of Bezantur, should be named tharchion to replace her if something has happened to Agneh....
Regardless of the current political situation, a triumph organized by the Flaming Brazier priesthood and Red Wizards of Evocation is being planned in Bezantur within the next tenday. It will be a parade to celebrate the glory and power of Thay, and to remember the fallen patriots whose sacrifice brought to an end ‘The Salamander War’!
