As said, my mind somehow mixed the info so I did not intent sound Thay is nice place, it is ruthless as you said and I never intended deny the said fact. My only lap of knowledge was mixing up tieflings having a mere potential to be red wizards and that some have better position because they have (in human side) mulhorandi nobility blood.<br/><br/>Adrian, was born as commoner to half-elf and human parent, when both his parents died, Thayan law send him to last remaining living relative what he had and it was his uncle who was a red wizard (so uncle is commoner who had rised to rank of red wizard through lots backstabbing and bribery, it's not impossible to happen anyways). If his uncle had been a carpenter or other nobody important, Adrian would not had been bothered at all and send just on streets, but as officers checked was there anyone to take brat over, it then changed matters as Adrian told his last name and dots were connected between his father and his brother. Not to mention his uncle works as red wizard responsible for slave trade economics (a position which is held<em>only</em>by red wizards), so overall very wealthy man. So some quirk of fate uncle did not kick Adrian and considered him mere annoyance at first until his sharp intellect was figured out.<br/><br/>So, I did not deny any fashion that Thay is not nice place, it was just momentarily lap :P.<br/><br/>However, there is large enclave in Waterdeep?! God forbid ever Adrian entering there as he would be killed on sight (he has long dark hair and he wears red and is clearly mulhorandi blooded thayan). Probably Adrian may had faced few assassination attempts by now unless he had been very elusive or he has been merely lucky that none from thayan enclave have seen him on street (and heard his accent).<br/><br/>Anyways Ghazaala should be aware that besides red robes being unifying factor among red wizards is that they all are bald; only slaves wear their hair long and it's privileged to cut your hair shorter until your half-bald and then fully bald. As sign of social rank. Not even thayan commoners grow their hair too long, at least no longer than slaves do. So some curiosity may be towards that.
