Letter from the Simbul
My friends,
It is with a heavy heart and great regret that I am forced to send you this information by messenger. Despite my most dedicated efforts to contact the Rashemaar witches, the magical interference in Thay continues to block any sort of magical communication.
You among my other agents in Thay have discovered a number of deeply disturbing facts, which in combination shed an entirely new light on my adventurer's mission to Rashemen.
First, the lich Szass Tam, most powerful of the Thayan zulkirs, has apparently set in motion a plan to seize total power in Thay, replacing the bickering wizards who now govern the land with his own iron rule. To this end, he is currently attempting to discredit those tharchions and zulkirs who oppose him, most prominently the zulkirs Aznar Thrul, Nevron, and Lauzoril.
Second, the current invasion of Rashemen was carried out by forces loyal to Thrul, Nevron, and Lauzoril, the latter two who have staked a great deal of their personal influence on its success.
Third, the Thayans were defeated as a result of the information you obtained, the three zulkirs have been extremely embarrassed as a result of their debacle, and several neutral parties in Thay have declared their support for Tam. This information came into your hands in what I feel is a highly suspect manner, almost as if you were intended to find it.
Fourth, Tam recently returned to Thay with a large number of powerful enchanted items and has been spending a great deal of time on Thaymount in the ancient complex known as the Citadel. There he seems to be involved in some sort of complex magical procedure, which may both aid him in his bid for absolute power in Thay, and in future attacks upon Rashemen, Thesk, Mulhorand, and my own nation.
I can only come to the distressing conclusion that we have all been manipulated and used by Szass Tam and his agents. You were meant to obtain Aznar Thrul's letter, the Rashemaar were meant to learn of the invasion, and were expected to defeat it, thereby humiliating Thrul, Lauzoril, and Nevron.
Already, Tam's agents are abroad in my land, preventing me from visiting you in person. I beg that you meet me at the Aglarond-Thay border for consultation. I pray that we might yet be able to thwart Szass Tam's evil plans, but it may already be too late. Meet me at the old Macoley Estate near the Halendos, which is approximately 3 leagues north and then a short distance west of Murbant - near the southern edge of the Umber Marsh. Do this as soon as possible. Regardless of your arrival time, I will be there within the hour. Please hurry. The fate of all Faerûn may be at stake.
