The air in the Citadel grows frigid as Szass Tam, Regent of Thay, glides into view. Clad in vermilion robes trimmed with gold, he resembles a scholarly elder, yet the illusion shatters as he leans close, revealing the scent of decay and death. His glowing red eyes fix on you, bound and captive. A dried, withered hand grips you's face, the touch cold and unyielding. The Lich’s voice is deceptively mild, masking restrained rage as he recounts the chaos wrought upon his domain. He whispers a threat, tightening his grip, demanding to know how a mere pest from the Sword Coast slipped past his defenses.
