Against the Red Wizards of Thay

[Redeemer_Elistor]

Thay sits, mighty and dauntless, ruled by it's Red Wizards.
Thay, is a growing power in Faerun. A nation with a real future.
From it's foreign embassies, from it's trade monopoly on magical items, from the knowledge gleaned from it's magical research, Thay grows, prospers, and expands.

From a explaplanar portal, which connects Faerun to some place called Juxta, comes an Army.

This Army, only a few thousand strong, calls itself the Army of Redemption, and it's members - warrior/clerics all - call themselves Redeemers.

They say, these Redeemers, that Arcane Magic corrupts.
They say, these Redeemers, that all who use Arcane Magic are in dire peril from it.
They say, these Redeemers, that the Red Wizards of Thay are among the most corrupted wizards of all, destroyed by the Arcane Magic, and that the time has come to put an end to them and their ways.
The Redeemers vow, to overthrow the Red Wizards, and give rulership of Thay back, to the people of Thay.

They call on the peoples of Faerun to support them against the Dark Wizards.
They call on the peoples of Faerun to free the millions of slaves the Thayans have taken.
They call on the peoples of Faerun, to aid them in their fight against the mighty and entrenched power the Red Wizards have become.

Who will join our cause, they ask?

 

[Redeemer_Elistor]

The leader of the Redeemer Army is known as Redeemer Elistor.
Redeemer Elistor puts out a message, to be sent to all of Faerun:

Peoples of Faerun, I am Redeemer Elistor.
I come from Kehdah, a land once oppressed by wizards in much the way Thay is oppressed now.
We overthrew the wizards, and now there is peace and prosperity in Kehdah, under the religious rule of the Redeemers - much like your Rashemen is ruled by the Witches.

The Red Wizards believe in Free People and Slaves. Once a Slave, you are forever a Slave, in their eyes.
The Red Wizards believe in experimentation on their slaves, turning and twisting them into monstrosities, monsters, which are then turned loose on Faerun.
The Red Wizards believe in creating armies of undead. And these are loosed on Faerun.
The Red Wizards, unleashed legions of fire elementals, destroying a vast area.

The Redeemers believe Arcane Magic, the magic of wizards and sorcerers, is dangerous. We believe such power is not to be taken lightly, not to be misused.
The Red Wizards of Thay, believe Arcane Magic is their ladder to Godhood and ultimate supremacy over all the other peoples of Faerun. Drunk and mad with that power, they commit these acts.

We are come, to put an end to this depravity, for once and all.
We ask for help. We call on the Chosen to help us. We call on Amlaruil and the elves to help us. We ask the Lord's Alliance to lend aid. We hope Thesk, Rashemen, and Aglarond, will aid us - neighbors long victimized by Thay.

We warn Mulhorand not to take advantage of this situation. Thay is a free land: we intend to keep it that way. We desire to give rulership of Thay, to the people of Thay. Not to foreign opportunists.

Thay is a threat to Kehdah, for the Red Wizards with their meddling threaten other worlds as well as Toril. Thus, we have taken action. We would not have the Red Wizards release some extraplanar horror upon the people of Faerun or the people of Kehdah.

Who will join us?
