Kedaeloth 11-27-03, 04:09 AM	Hello :D I'm searching information about Aznar Thrul, his story, his stats, where can i found these informations? PS: i cannot speak english very well so excuse me for the mistakes ^^"
Fredegar The White 11-27-03, 04:35 AM	Sorry but the name doesn't ring a bell! Could you be more specific about him were does he appear?
Kedaeloth 11-27-03, 04:57 AM	He is the Zulkir of Evocation in the Thay :) In FR manual there are only the stats of Szass Tam and his complete story, about the others zulkirs there are only few lines :( About Aznar Thrul is written only his alignment ( CE ) , race, sex and his relationship with Szass Tam :( I'm interested in his Stats, Skills, Feats, special attacks etc :D
Tempus665 11-27-03, 05:03 AM	Originally posted by Fredegar The White Sorry but the name doesn't ring a bell! Could you be more specific about him were does he appear? He´s a Red Wizard, and the zulkir of evocation. There isn´t too much information on him, unless you want to skim through some of the older (2nd edition) products, like the Spellbound boxed set.
Kedaeloth 11-27-03, 05:07 AM	I got "The dreams of The Red wizards" (2 ed.) but there is only Szass Tam :( What is the Spellbound boxed set?
Fredegar The White 11-27-03, 05:24 AM	Spellbound is a boxed set with Thay, Rashemen, Aglarond. It was printed for 2ed some years back. Search for a download!!!
Kedaeloth 11-27-03, 05:31 AM	I'll do and i'll hope to find something :)
Plectrum 11-27-03, 08:41 AM	He also appears in the novel Red magic
Crust 11-27-03, 12:18 PM	This is cut and pasted from the 2E Villain's Lorebook (a great piece of source material). It might look odd because of the cut/paste. This should help. Tharchion Aznar Thrul, Zulkir of Invocation/ Evocation (Human male 23rd-level invoker), AC 4; MV 12; hp 43; THAC0 13; #AT 1; Dmg By weapon; SZ M; ML 19; AL CE; XP 17,000. S 13, D 12, C 17, I 18, W 13, Ch 15. Spells: 8/8/8/8/8/8/8/8/6 (includes bonus spells). Special Equipment: manual of golems, ring of protection +4, robe of Rukhyon*, staff of power, vampiric dagger*. Description: This 6'3", 175 lb., bald, black-eyed man is the only mage to hold both the titles of zulkir and tharchion. He's cruel, savage, and represents the greatest challenge to Szass Tam's plotted overthrow of the current Thayan political system, such as it is. Thrul's current gambit to lessen Tam's role in Thay's future is to ensure that the planned invasion of Rashemen is successful-thus diverting attention from Tam and his schemes. However, if the invasion fails, his confederates, Lauzoril and Nevron, will bear the blame, leaving him untouched and able to continue his opposition to the Zulkir of Necromancy. Thrul always maintains his hit-point total at maximum through the use of his vampiric dagger.
Kedaeloth 11-27-03, 05:39 PM	Thanks :D
The Simbul 11-27-03, 11:50 PM	He is currently the only Thayan who is both a Zulkir and a Tharchion, thus giving him dominion over the Priador, which includes Thay's primary port city of Bezantur. He has a rivalry with Mythrella the Zulkiress of Illusion, since her Shadow Tower exists within Bezantur, the city under his dominion, and it is against Thayan custom for two Zulkirs to reside within the same city. The former Tharchion of the Priador, Mari Agneh, became victim to his machinations and is imprisoned behind a sealed wall within his Citadel, kept alive and as a mind slave by his spells. He does not allow anyone to appear before him without being stripped of all weapons, clothing, and spells, for fear of assasination attempts. He politically manuevers against Szass Tam, and makes for an apposite rival. However his maneuvers against the Lich is far more subtle and behind the scenes than the plots of other Zulkirs. ****** I hope my Scrying has been of some use to you :D
Green Giant 11-28-03, 12:18 AM	Here is a quick and dirty 3e version of Aznar Thrul. The levels come from UE although it said he had 2 epic levels I added them to the archmage class. It also changed his alignment to LE (believe this is an error). He also seems to be underpowered in magic items with no enhancement items or protection items.

Green Giant 12-01-03, 12:34 PM	Here's another Zulkir. I also fixed Aznar Thrul since I went over the level limits in skill ranks and changed his alignment.

I don't really know whether Lauzoril is truly a Mulan human. His description makes him look like a Rashemen or other ethnic human. Shazzelurt and ebon lash are in UE. I couldn't find the stats to a scourge so I used the whip dagger stats from Arms and Equipment Guide.

I had to replace the staff of striking with the staff of conjuration since I haven't seen such a magic item yet. I also decided to try something different by adding the 2 epic levels to the Red Wizard PrC instead of the Archmage. I gave him the Thrall to Demon feat from BoVD to showcase his demonic alliances from the Lord of Darkness sourcebook.

Green Giant 12-03-03, 12:21 AM	I should have been paying more attention. The Robe of Rukhyon can be found in UE. (Shame on all of you for not catching that mistake:mad: ). I've just re-edited the stats on Aznar Thrul once again to reflect the item's properties.
Kossie 12-03-03, 05:34 AM	Great job Green Giant!
Crust 12-03-03, 07:23 AM	These are pretty nice attempts at the Zulkirs. It's nice seeing someone spending their time creating NPC stats for characters that haven't already been published. :thumbsup:
Kossie 12-04-03, 06:25 AM	Y'know, Crust has got a good point. Who's for turning this thread into one where npc characters are given 3e write-ups, cool ones like: Ioulaum The Srinshee Qysar Shoon IV Sammaster Matron Baenre Rhangaun of the Twisted Rune Kartak Spellseer Triobrand Anyone interested/ have a view??
Szass Tam 12-05-03, 02:00 AM	The Zulkir of Conjuration is a Half-Fiend. There are levels given for all of the Zulkirs in the FRCS in the back as part of the description of the Red Wizards faction. Though they are good write ups I would have done many things differently, if interested I will post them.
Green Giant 12-05-03, 02:14 AM	Actually you're mistaken. It only says that the Zulkir of Conjuration is fiend-touched not a half-fiend. Its probably a little confusing until you read Lords of Darkness where it says that he consorts with demons and has demonic allies hence his Thrall to Demon feat.
Kossie 12-05-03, 04:56 AM	Szass Tam, I'm intereted in your point and would like to see your own versions if you don't mind posting them??
Falkomur 01-13-04, 03:46 PM	I'm sorry but I really like the way you wrote up Aznar Thrul, but I can't seem to find the magic item, Manual of Golems. Can someone please tell where it is listed? Thanks, and keep up the good work :ayyyy!:
Green Giant 01-13-04, 07:47 PM	Don't know if Manual of Golems exists as a 3e item although the Arms & Equipment Guide has a Libram of the Flesh that allows the creation of flesh golems.
Stormwalker 01-18-04, 01:21 PM	manual of golems are on page 258 of the 3,5 edition DMG. "Tammy´s" stats are listed in the Epic level handbook...
