Horrors of the Unapproachable East was a guidebook penned by Catalan the Mad in the late 15th century DR.[1]
“
The Tharchions of Thay once held dances that would end in death for those slaves who danced poorly.
After the rise of the necropolis, these rituals were not abandoned, as one might expect under the rule of Szass Tam. Instead, the necromancer king insisted they continue, with only some of the slaves being alive—and others undead.
Now, dancing poorly meant becoming a meal for those who danced well.
