Surthay (tharch)

The tharch of Surthay was a region of Thay north of the Thayan Plateau, just beyond the First Escarpment. It served as a strong, military bulwark against the forces of nearby Rashemen, as well as the launching point for invasions into the cold, enigmatic lands of northeast Faerûn.
