News has spread that a Red Wizard calling himself Safazar has begun to stir things within the Baldur’s Gate enclave. He had not been in the city for too long, but had already ascended in rank. Some claim he rose through the ranks with unusual speed, too quickly for comfort, and that his ambition knows no end.

The Red Tower of the Thayan enclave seemed busier than usual. Red Wizards came and went with unusual frequency, yet whatever business drew them and whatever was discussed within remained shrouded in secrecy.

Safazar has officially been elevated to the position of Circle Leader of Enchantment within the Thayan Enclave of Baldur’s Gate. This promotion marks a significant step in their career, as they move further into the inner workings of the Enclave’s leadership. With this new role, Safazar will oversee all matters pertaining to enchantment magic, gui ding both apprentices and fellow Red Wizards in the proper application of their craft. Members of the city proper and the wider magical community are expected to recognize and respect this advancement in authority and influence.

As of this year, 1362 DR, Safazar’s voice will carry greater weight in the deliberations of the Enclave, and their counsel will be sought in decisions that affect both the arcane and civic spheres of Enclave dealings with Baldur’s Gate and its people, and its Dukes. This change underscores the Enclave’s drive to maintaining strong, capable leadership in every Circle, ensuring that we remain influential in the city’s political and magical affairs. All those who interact with the Enclave are advised to note this elevation and treat Safazar with the deference due to a Circle Leader of Thay.

Signed, Nathka Blacksand - Khazark of the Enclave and Circle Leader of Conjuration.

Rumours about have it, several weeks ago a handful of dockworkers, merchants of the wide, and the ever-curious common folk within Baldur's Gate witnessed Nathka Blacksand, Khazark of the Thayan Enclave, departing the city through its gates with a single packhorse heavily burdened beneath crates, satchels, and bundles of supplies for what seemed long journey. The movement seemed hurried yet deliberate, and though little attention was paid at the time, those who recalled the sight would later find it difficult to forget. Since that day, the Khazark has not been seen again coming or going into the Enclave, or the city and whispers have steadily grown that she has vanished without warning.

In the weeks that followed, Thayan Knights and Red Wizards were frequently seen travelling the city in pairs, questioning merchants, caravan guards, adventurers, and travellers alike for any sign of Nathka or the direction she had taken. Some were even reported venturing as far as Soubar and the territory surrounding Darkhold, though the locals there proved unhelpful, if not entirely stand-offish and no credible trail was uncovered, only vague rumours. The searches appeared to concern more than just the Khazark herself, with rumours suggesting the Thayans were equally just as intent, if not more so, on recovering something that had disappeared alongside her.

Whatever the truth may be, the gossip throughout Baldur's Gate has settled upon one conclusion: Nathka Blacksand has abandoned the Thayan Enclave and her seat of power, leaving behind both the station she has held for a half-decade and those who once looked to her for direction. It has yet to be determined though, why the elusive leader of the Enclave had disappeared with such deliberate intent.
