Naglatha (pronounced: /nɑːgˈlɑːθɑː/ nahg-LATH-ah[4]), alias the Black Flame, was a Red Wizard of Thay residing in Selgaunt in Sembia in 1357 DR.[2][3]
Description[]
Naglatha was a young, black-haired woman with a grim face.[2]
Personality[]
Naglatha quickly rose through the ranks of the Red Wizards thanks to her fanatical zeal and ruthlessness. However, she was loyally devoted to the god Azuth.[2]
Activities[]
Naglatha kept her devotion to Thay a secret from her associates in Selgaunt. She masqueraded as a merchant with a store that traded in magical items and curios from the South. Her shop was located on Larwaken Lane.[6][3]
History[]
Naglatha arrived in Selgaunt early in 1357 DR with a very deep cover; even Alzegund was unaware of her identity as a Red Wizard of Thay. Everyone in the Dragon Reach area thought she was only a merchant with a preference for extravagant tools from south Faerûn. In truth, using the alias "the Black Flame", she was recruiting valorous men to Thay's cause. She always used a black mask in her mission in order to disguise her identity. Once a year she went "to the South" for three months, in truth traveling to Thay to receive new instructions.[2]
Later she rose through the ranks thanks to the "accidental" death of Alzegund in 1364 DR. In 1373 DR, she was involved in a plot by the demon lord Eltab against Szass Tam, but the plan backfired thanks to the intervention of Thazienne Uskevren and Tam promised his vengeance against her.[7]
