Welcome to the server!

Make sure you take a look at the rules as it relates to Red Wizards (Application only class and you need to take your 1st red wizard level ASAP (i.e. at level 6). Also, there is a specific class for Thayan Knights, so your friend doesn't need to be 'hired muscle'. :mrgreen:

Custom Changes regarding Red Wizard:
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=49041

Custom Classes for Thayan Knight:
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=49035

EDIT: Also, you may want to reach out to the Thayan guild, they already have a shop and are quite active. Key point is you will need DM approval for both RWoT and TK. You will also need to work with the guild to seek membership.

Welcome to the server, Thayvian!

As Chad indicates, we do have a very active Red Wizard community if you'd like to get involved with others who share your interests. You and your friend are sure to have a blast here either way.

Also, if you have any questions, just ask and pretty much anyone (in game or out here on the forums) will likely be happy to help you out. Though you can always reach out to a DM or staff member as well for an official response.

I really don't want to be part of a guild. I will seek an application for Red Wizard. But I will not join a guild. I have already disliked what I have see so far of it. I don't wish to bow to other players whims. I and my friends are here to play a Thayvian RED Wizard and hired muscle.


My only wish. Is to play a Thayvian Wizard Visiting the enclave. I do not wish to be part of any hierchy Can already feel that I dislike the internal structure of the guild OOC when I was instructed that I NEED to be part of the guild.

I disagree and have been roleplaying my character visiting from Thay Under Orders to perform an inquiry into the enclave from my superiors and to report back in a years time.

I would stll like to write a BIO and apply TO be a red wizard. As I will be adventuring with a friend or two we simply want to play a Red Wizard and hired muscle.

Having an already distasteful experience with a higher level character OOC I out right will not be joining the guild. Especially one heavily established with no chance of taking it over or gaining anything. I would like to actually further Explore this character as mildly adversarial foil to the enclave.

What are the steps of Application and would it be possible to not join the guild but be from a visiting power from Thay?

My Friends and I simply wish to play a Red Wizard and compainon adventuring togeather. I was annoyed that a restriction existed after I had planned and made my character. I was annoyed with the tennacity as to which the current guild seems to protect and overzealously ooc make sure I don't don red unless I'm part of the guild.

I don't mind participating in ROLEPLAYING but I have bad experiences with power-hungry cliques in the past and will not do so again ... ever period. Not to say that anyone is power hungry but I will not join a guild.

My friends and I more then happy to keep our Roleplaying sessions to ourselves. Or find another sever to play at where there are less restrictions.

I don't mean to be inpolite but we work very very hard and very long hours. We don't have endless time to play and simply just wish to play a Red Wizard and hired muscle.

I will be writing a bio soon. And applying for the class. I will not join a guild.

If I am refused we will continue to roleplay our characters unless it bothers someone and if a complaint is raised we will quit.

However we are more then willing to have some exceptionally good roleplaying with the guild as long as I do not have to directly be part of it. And I will make sure my character's bio history reflect this.


A great idea was to be a Visiting Red Wizard from thay sent to do an Inquiry of the actions of the enclave and report back in a years time. As my character explained before before tossed out of the guild. This need not be a negative thing.. One could see the profit of having another thayvian around. Instructed to asses the Enclave nothing more nothing less.

I request that I work with DM Creo << the DM I first encountered who actually gave me the Red robes in the first place.

So far we want to say thank you for the RP and amazing server. Hopefully our applications and intended style of play is not rejected. If this is the case we will simply play on another sever.







I am nearly level 3 now and fast approaching level six.

Quoted from the Application only Classes thread under Server Rules and Content:
Administrator wrote:Application Classes
  • Red Wizard of Thay
  • Thayan Knight
  • Shadow Adept

For Thayan Knight, Red Wizard and Shadow Adept, send a private message to the "DM" group.
They will inform you on how to further apply for either class.
You will be expected to understand the Lore and RP perspective these PRC's if you apply for one of them.
It sounds like you already know a lot of the lore, so I doubt you'll have any trouble getting permission to use the class. That's all the application is really there for, to make sure you understand the lore heavy class you're trying to play.

You're fully able to play the class without being a part of the guild. I would still recommend speaking with them in an OOC manner as they are nice people and are willing to be helpful if you have any questions, and I definitely recommend never saying never when it comes to RP, but no one's going to force you to be part of a guild if you don't want to be.

Red Wizard Application.. Not 100 percent sure whom to send it to.



First Name: Zattiera
Last Name: El Cept

Appearance: Tall medium build. Very slight emotionaless expression. eyes cold Calculating. Often Frowning at peasants and lessers.
Race: Human Mulan
Age: 32
Height 6 foot something
Weight: 190lbs
Eyes: Green
Hair: None
Facial Hair Style: None

Personality Profile: Silent calculating opportunistic deceptive diplomatic cold vicious, classist. Vicious.
General Health: In good health
Deity:Mystra <<< I think not sure if it's suppose to be the other dark weave or not.
Initial Alignment: Lawful Evil
Profession: Enchanter
Base Class & Proposed Development: Specialist Enchanter to Red Wizard
Habits/Hobbies: Affinity for adventuring.
Languages: Thay Chondathan Common (will update this one I see my characters languages again)
Weapon of Choice: Magic followed byCross bow and hidden dagger.

Background: At an early age, noble children are carefully examined for any signs of arcane talent. Any who are shown to have even small aptitude are immediately inducted into wizardry school, followed by a long and arduous apprenticeship to a Red Wizard. Those who survive their apprenticeship and are ambitious, resourceful, and talented are invited to join the Red Wizards. Zulkirs Laurozil Had seen potential in the young Mulan Nobel, Zattiera El Cept. From a young age Zattiera had great skill in the school of enchanting and quickly made his way through the ranks of the school. The Young magus had shown to be more then capable. He soon rose to be the top of his class. Mostly due to a series of "Unfortunate accidents" Nearing completion of his training He was sent to the sword coast to report on the status of the Enclave and report back in a years time. Until such a time the young Mulan was instructed to learn all that he can about the sword coast, it's leaders factions and see how the Enclave is coming along. Before entering Baldurs Gate the young magus was assaulted by bandits who took most of his possessions. The Town Crier had helped him out and provided medical aid. Soon after Resting El Cept made his way to the enclave. To present his instructions. Having his possessions stolen only the night before he did have the writ to produce to the enclave whom assumed him an imposter and asked him to leave. He bowed politely and left to take note of the rude behavior of the enclave. He now stays at the local inn writing his report hoping to improve relations with the Enclave longing to be away from the Northern filth back in Thay.. He travels with companions Hired muscle to protect the Mulan Nobel to assist in his report. Zattiera is planning a trip to candle keep to seek out the second part of his missions. A long forgotten book. Zattiera is a cold calculating individual, who seeks power through manipulation and enchantment. He is dangerous to both friend and foe, and more then willling to kill to achieve his goals, or deviously murder anyone in his way be they peasant, city official, fellow wizard, or noble. So far his goals are far away and has been forced to seek employment through the locals hunting down the very bandits that robbed him.

Goals: To Return to Thay after completing my report. To gain political foothold in the region power allies and wealth.

Possible Plot-Hook Ideas and Misc Facts: Sent by the Zurkill of Enchanting School to asses the progress of the enclave and report back to thay in a years time. Foil to the current Enclave. Adventuring with friends hired Muscle. Inquiry into the enclave is only a ruse for finding a mystical and powerful tome from candle keep?

Definitions

Khazark
The leader of a trade enclave is called a khazark.
This position is supposedly equal in rank to an autharch,
but in practice, it is even more respected

Tharchions
A Tharchion is a civil ruler of a tharch of the nation of Thay.There are eleven Tharchions

Mulan Nobel Class of thay brought to Toril

Mulhorandi
The Mulhorandi pantheon consisted of the deities worshiped in Mulhorand. Their domain was Heliopolis.

When the Imaskari captured the Mulan people and brought them to Toril, the slaves also brought the worship of their deities.
With help from Ao, these deities were able to follow their worshipers and end their servitude

Thay

The nation of Thay came about when a sect, calling itself the Red Wizards, declared its freedom from the god kings of Mulhorand.
The sect's center of strength was in the northern provinces where the natives did not have the inbred reverence for the god-kings.
After razing the city of Delhumide they declared themselves the free nation of Thay in 922 DR. Thay is west of the Sunrise Mountains and South East of Thesk.
Thay is a nation ruled by Red Wizards a wizarchy of sorts. Relient heavily on slave labour. They establish enclaves throughought the land to further politcle
and economic ends. Providing magicle services to the general public. Dimplomacy and other less savvory skills.

Zulkirs

Zulkir s sa title of power among the Red Wizards of Thay. There were eight zulkirs, one for each School of Magic; together they ruled the Red Wizards and, by extension, Thay itself.
They did not directly control the country, as the day-to-day governing was left to the tharchions.
However, they had the ears of the tharchions, and "what the zulkirs want, they get".
This truth explains many of the failures of Thay — as there was no one ruler of the Red Wizards, the constant in-fighting among the zulkirs often resulted in ruined plans.
Zulkirs held their positions for life, or until he or she renounced the title.
When a position opened, wizards of the same school of magic selected the replacement,
but often other zulkirs tried to sway the election, making the appointment an intrigue-filled and ruthless event.

Enclave
Thayan enclaves are independent mercantile and political entities within an urban area in a non-Thayan country.
Here people interact with Thayans in a peaceful manner, buy magic items, and make deals with the Red Wizards who control the enclave.


Circle Leader.
Circle Leader: At 5th level, a Red Wizard gains the ability to become a circle leader, who is the focus person for Red Wizard circle magic
Some of the most powerful and spectacular spells worked across Faerûn are cast in the form of circle magic.
Circle magic is a type of cooperative spellcasting that allows the spellcaster leading the circle to increase his caster level significantly and achieve results otherwise unavailable to the spellcasters composing the circle.
The Red Wizards of Thay make frequent use of circle magic. Stories of other forms of circle magic abound in Faerûn.

There's no imperative to join the player guild in order to play the Red Wizard class. Your application/biography have been placed on the DM forums for review and they will return to you with their feedback in due time. :)

Firstly, Welcome!

We are glad that you and your friend have decided to spend your valuable free time here at BGTSCC. As Endelyon has already stated it of course not required that you join the player guild to be a red wizard. The Red Wizard class and Thayen Knight are application only classes, which make them rare choices for new players. However, this should not discourage you from playing the class. We have received your application and are looking forward to seeing your friends. We will get back to you as soon as possible.

Side:
You're fully able to play the class without being a part of the guild. I would still recommend speaking with them in an OOC manner as they are nice people and are willing to be helpful if you have any questions, and I definitely recommend never saying never when it comes to RP, but no one's going to force you to be part of a guild if you don't want to be.
I agree with the above sentiment and you may want to consider looking in to the guild at some point. Involvement in guilds can enrich your player experience. This is of course not a requirement to play a red wizard here, or the only way to have fun. It is a but a suggestion.

I will of course be happy to work with you creating adventures for yourself and your friend, answering any questions you may have and aiding in getting your application approved. Should you need any help.

Once again welcome to the server, I look forward to seeing you in game !!!
