Azmyrandyr of the Twelve Talons, was a Red Wizard of Thay in the mid-14th century DR.[1][2]
Appearance[]
He was a gaunt man.[2]
Personality[]
He took poorly to being laughed at.[1]
Possessions[]
He was known to possess a wild magic stone and a magical ring through which he sent messages.[2]
Abilities[]
He could cast meteor swarm and also magic missile.[2]
Relationships[]
He was part of a strange cycle-teleporting effect that allowed him to trade locations with fellow Red Wizard Roeblen, but in return, he was bound to do the same whenever called on by an especially large umber hulk, with little warning time. This cycle had been forced upon him as part of his participation in an extensive cabal; linked into the same cycle were Auvrarn Labraster and Thaltar Glaervar.[2]
Rilder Palengerrast, Orth and Burgel were three of his four weakest apprentices.[1]
History[]
In 1369 DR, Azmyrandyr answered a call from an umber hulk, who employed a teleporting link to swap himself out of a fight against Alustriel Silverhand and thus escape from Silverymoon, where it'd been summoned by the merchant Auvrarn Labraster, whom Alustriel believed to be hiding information regarding a murder. He did not get much time to prepare, but brought a wild magic stone.[2]
He turned the room into a riven wreckage with a modified meteor swarm spell, and used the stone to break Alustriel's antimagic field, then swapped out for Roeblen the moment he took a hit.[2]
Later, the Simbul targetted him for killing at first light one morning he'd been pulling an all-nighter with his four weakest apprentices, preparing them for impersonating notables in Nimpeth. She quickly cut off all exits, and struck his apprentices with a fusillade of magic missiles, which instantly killed two of them. Having no other spells prepared than magic missile, which she proved immune to after his apprentice Orth hurled some at her, he instead resorted to calling for aid through an enchanted ring. She responded by rendering him into a boneless puddle by her casting of Simbul's skeletal deliquescence, and then cleaved apart by his apprentice Rilder's spectral axe.[1]
