[QUOTE="painandgreed, post: 3429835, member: 24969"] Well, the Red Wizards were always trying to become gods. One of them succeeded (with no small thanks to his mother and father). There was probably some bit of angst as the other Red Wizards did not want another god ruling over them which saw some turmoil such as Ceaser coming to power or Hitler getting rid of Roehm. Shortly thereafter, Iuz became the undisputed head of the Red Wizards and an example of what they all strive for. The current Red Wizards are all fairly loyal to Iuz, otherwise they wouldn't have been allowed to gain the power they have, but still bicker and fight amonsgt themselves. Iuz plays favorites, but the zukirs are all his favorites so he lets them settle their own disputes. Iuz is the autocratic ruler of Thay, but tends to only set general policy and delegate rather than actually try to control all the actions of his country. His duties mainly lie in research and laison to the outer planes as he tries to curry favor without ending up beholden to powerful outsiders.
