Thanderahast

Thanderahast was a High Wizard of Cormyr, nephew of Royal Wizard Amedahast and before becoming High Wizard, a war wizard of Cormyr.

Relatives
Thanderahast's aunt was Amedahast. This makes him a blood relative of Baerauble Etharr.

Background
In 629 DR, Thanderahast was not yet High Wizard, and suspected Luthax of treachery, when he discovered that Luthax and Elmariel Emmarask were planning to assassinate King Draxius Obarskyr using a magical beast from the ruins of Netheril. Thanderahast was able to warn the King in time and Draxius slew the beast.

In 900 DR, Thanderahast was High Wizard of Cormyr when he participated in the Battle with the Witch Lords, in which he went after Luthax, who he thought was dead.

Thanderahast battled the red dragons in 1018 DR when they invaded Suzail, and helped to extinguish the burning city and Castle Obarskyr by using magical weather summoning. He then battled Thauglor on the back of a wyvern, and was badly burned by the dragon's acid breath.

Possessions
In battle, Thanderahast rides a trained pony.
