Thayan enclave (Proskur)

The Thayan enclave of Proskur was a compound of the Red Wizards, within which they could conduct economic and political business. Like all of the enclaves of Thay, this estate was under the nation's "Law of Sovereignty", and was considered Thayan soil by its inhabitants, and home nation.

Business and trade
The primary, legitimate, business of the Thayans of Proskur was the sale of exotic and magical items.

There were a number of shops within the Priador Emporium that sold the finer, specialty goods to the locales of the city. While these were not normally readily available in the Dragon Coast, indulgences such such as perfume, Mulani art, Rashemi jewelry and spices from the east could be found at shops mere feet from one another. There was even a distillery that imported wines and liquors from Thay and Rashemen, such as the rare Rashemen firewine, and made them available to the citizens of Proskur.

As they were famed for, the Thayans made available an abundant selection of powerful, and expensive, magical items from the east. The Stronghouse housed merchants selling magical items from wands,rods and staves to non-native herbs and alchemical reagents, to potions that were brewed and scrolls that were scribed in-house by Thayan arcanists. The even featured an immensely talented tattooist who, among more mundane designs, could inscribe their clients with magical tattoos.

Description
The facade of the enclave was a stark contrast to the rest of the city of Proskur. It was vaguely menacing, as each of the outer buildings and adjoining walls stood at least two stories tall, creating a bulwark to the inner city. These outer structures were outwardly covered in moss at their higher reaches, to deter any attempts of being scaled.
