Thadat

Thadat was a mage that sold magical items and services in Innarlith in the mid-14th century DR. He was murdered by the Red Wizard Marek Rymüt in 1364 DR on account of his refusal to join Marek's attempt at creating on monopoly on magical services in Innarlith.

Description
He was short and thin.

Possessions
He kept a number of items in the suite of an inn he rented in Innarlith. Some of them were useful spell foci, while others were useless and meant to simply give customers the impression that they were for magical use.

He created a Ring of feather falling and sold it to Wenefir, a cleric of Cyric.

He wrote a Draconic poem with powerful necromantic effects on a clove of garlic that he kept in his room. The text of the poem in Draconic was: '‘Dan de dan de dan ne zhee. Chaznur durro shizzlin dul aele asruzhaeldi. Ullian-drol durro klaya aele sheet al leernall. Realnakfloordurro shoke aele aesaldrindur. Lomridnelle verith al almindure fleezhae. Gahn dool aesdnurde quinlek gloesh.’ (‘One and one and one is three. Tear that trembles up my spine. Pain that turns my cries to screams. Despair that breaks my spirit line. Surrender truth to desperate dreams. Set your soul and body free.’)

Relationships
He was a competitive rival to the sale of magical services and items to the Red Wizard Marek Rymüt. Marek stole Thadat's garlic from him after murdering him and later ingested this garlic years later while performing a spell that would turn Senator Willem Korvan into his powerful undead slave. Marek remarked that he thought Thadat never realized what this garlic would do and how powerful it was.

History
He was active in Innarlith in the mid-14th century DR, where he had made a name for himself as a creator of magic rings. He rented out a suite of rooms in an inn in the second quarter of Innarlith, where he lived and which he used also for his business.

On Alturiak 4 1364 DR, he was confronted at his home in the inn by Marek Rymüt, a Red Wizard who was disguising himself as a private seller in magical items and services in Innarlith. Thadat deeply distrusted Marek and ordered him to keep his hands where he could see them during their meeting. Thadat made it clear to Marek that he refused to join what he called 'your little club', referring to Marek's attempt to monopolize the trade in magic in Innarlith. During the meeting, a spell of silence suddenly descended on the room without Marek or Thadat casting it, and a Vaasan mage named Kurtsson appeared behind Thadat. Kurtsson then murdered Thadat with his axe, while no one else in the inn could hear his screams because of the magical silence. Marek pocketed Thadat's clove of garlic before opened a dimension door to escape. Kurtsson used an illusion to transform his appearance and walk out of the inn, to give the impression that someone else had murdered the mage.
