The previous tharchioness of the Priador, Mari Agneh, is alive!
It has been discovered that the long whispered rumors about her captivity were true. She was taken captive by the zulkir Aznar Thrul when, backed by the priesthood of the Flaming Brazier of Bezantur, he successfully put an end to the Salamander War in 1357 DR and then wrested control of the Priador from her. For the past 15 years, she has been his sexual plaything - paraded in front of his sycophants at parties and humiliated in virtually every way possible.
Mari has been freed from her prison in the Bezantur Citadel with the assistance of her old allies at the Temple of Mask, who long thought her dead, along with the aid of Melody, Avrora, Rand, Ihsahn, and Elliana recruited by the zulkir Lallara herself. The heroes even overcame the remaining Thayan Knights of Aznar Thrul guarding the Citadel led by no other than the notorious Vortar - who nearly brought low the entire group by himself before they managed to dispatch him. Within hours of Mari's return, the few remaining legionnaire officers charged with the defense of Bezantur pledged to serve her as tharchioness of the Priador, and once more all legion forces in that city are presumably under her command. In addition, representatives have already been sent to the reduced Murbant and Thasselen garrisons with an ultimatum to either pledge their oaths to her as Tharchioness of the Priador, or be taken by force and then publicly tortured and executed.
It seems obvious that freeing Mari at this time is primarily an attempt by the zulkir Lallara to tear apart the forces of the zulkirs rallying on the edge of Amruthar which are preparing to attack and sack that city. Aznar Thrul must now decide whether or not to abandon the assault of the city, return to the Priador with his legionnaires (and the bulk of the force attacking Amruthar), and retake it from Mari and the Priador forces now loyal to her. Whether or not this risky strategy works in time, and whether or not it will actually save Thayan lives as opposed to costing more, will be soon determined.
Regardless of what the future holds, at present Mari has returned and retaken her 'rightful' role of Tharchioness of the Priador with her claim supported by zulkirs Szass Tam, Lallara, and Yaphyll. Needless to say though - she is very, very angry at her long captivity and the inaction of those who knew about it.
Vengeance will be hers, and to hell with the consequences.
