To the loyal citizens of Thay, and to the seven zulkirs who share with me the burden of its governance,
Troubling reports reach me, even in my seclusion at Thaymount. Whispers that I, who have served Thay for nearly four hundred years, who have graciously relinquished regency over its governance, am somehow plotting to overthrow our council of zulkirs.
This is not a pointed accusation, and I name no names. But, whilst I labor in Thaymount for the betterment and protection of our nation, someone spends a great deal of coin and whispers to convince Thay that its eldest servant is its enemy.
To the Red Wizards: These are dangerous days, and every apprentice must declare a loyalty. When order returns to Thay, those who kept faith will be remembered. Similarly, those who sought to further dismantle our nation will not be forgotten.
To the secret conspirators, imagining that they tread their treacherous path unseen: Very little happens in Thay that does not, eventually, reach Thaymount. This warning is a courtesy; one that will not be extended a second time.
And to all the rest who may be reading, follow this thread to its end:
The truth, like the dead, rarely stays buried—and when you unearth it, you will find the grave you are standing in is full of those who did not bother to dig in the first place.
— Szass Tam, zulkir of necromancy.
