Thay

Thay is a region of Faerun, home to the Red Wizards. Its capital is The Citadel. Thay is currently ruled by the Eternal Master Hamun Kost.

History
Little is known of Thay or the Red Wizards that reside therein. They are allegedly very powerful, and accessing the region by any means other than teleportation is apparently impossible, as the borders are well-guarded by numerous powerful wizards who will shoot down any who approach.

The Eternal Master, the single ruler of Thay, is determined by an election process. Once this ruler has been elected, he or she acts as the undisputed ruler of Thay until his or her death. This is why many Eternal Masters seek the undeath of lichdom. The election process has been cited as being full of corrupt politics and deceit.

The current Eternal Master is unknown, though it is likely one has been elected since the death of Arthindol.
