You, and others, were being tutored by a zulkir’s trusted advisors. As a fledgling Red Wizard, you were destined for greatness should you survive your training. You experienced a great many things during your classes, though, and slowly you were the only person left in your training class. When you found out what happened to your classmates you were left with more questions than answers, and ultimately decided that the sacrifices that Thay requires just aren’t worth your time and effort. You abandoned your training, possibly forsaking the path of magic altogether, and swore that you would only return to mete out justice for all the wrongs you witnessed.
- Skill Proficiencies: Arcana plus one other (your choice)
- Languages: Choose any two
- Equipment: A Thayan trinket, a ruined spellbook that once belonged to one of your peers, a scroll tube that contains four preserved humanoid eyeballs, a necklace with a trio of tiny crystals that have been woven together with silver filigree, asset of traveler’s clothes, and 20 gp.
The School of Sacrifice - What did you give up in order to enter tutelage? What concessions did you make to stay there?
| d6 | Sacrifices and Concessions |
|---|---|
| 1 | You had to give up your family; they were disappeared by the zulkir’s enforcers, but you entered into your education for free. |
| 2 | As you became close with your peers, they were removed from class. You never heard from them again, and the administrators didn’t recognize their names or descriptions when you inquired. |
| 3 | You had to give up part of your eternal soul. |
| 4 | You had to accept part of the zulkir’s soul into yourself. You have no control over or communication with this fragment, but its presence mars your existence |
| 5 | You had to swear an oath to Thay upon pain of eternal torment, and you’re convinced that actions taken against Thay would result in excruciating retaliation. |
| 6 | You willingly accepted a curse that causes you to lose your memories if you act against Thay. You have no idea how much you’ve already forgotten. |
You are familiar with the Zulkir that you trained under, and know the information presented in their description elsewhere in the "Thay: Land of the Red Wizards" supplement book (Not in D&D Byeond). You may not have spent significant time with them directly as your training was primarily handled by their advisors, but your awareness may open (or inadvertently close!) doors when speaking with other people, especially adventurers, merchants, and nobles. Similarly, the Zulkir may have a bounty on your head for your safe (or otherwise) return.
