Thultyrl Thultyrl was the name of the ruling family of the city of Procampur in the Vast . It was also the title that its rulers adopted . The Thultyrls served as hereditary overlords of the city . Appearance . The Thultyrls had a distinctive family resemblance of copper - colored hair , gray - green eyes , and a sharp chin . Title & Vows . The name " Thultyrl " was originally the family ' s surname until it was adopted as their title , leaving them with no practical surname . Instead , they bore the title " of the Royal Blood " . Every Thultyrl swore eternal vengeance on any pirate that dared raid Procampur ' s ships or attack its harbor . Assistants . The ruling thultyrls were assisted and supported by the Hamayarch , a special mage - adviser to the ruler . This post was traditionally taken by mage weaker than the Thultyrl , who was very loyal to their ruler and operated with their blessing . The Thultyrl was protected by the Forty , a troop of forty stern bodyguards and soldiers . The Thultyrl also had a personal secretary . History . Early history . The city of Procampur was formally founded in the Year of Trials Arcane , 523 DR . However , its wealthy miners and craftsmen were plagued by thieves and various other criminals , and frequent pirate raids drove many Procampans away . This left only the most resolute , miners mostly , who vowed to force back the killers and robbers . They hired powerful mercenary forces to defend their city , but then needed to control the mercenaries . Magic was the key , and the local Thultyrl family of wizard s rose to a position of power , and hereditary rule . The early Thultyrls who ruled the fortress - city preferred peace , order , and discipline in a walled and guarded city . To reduce petty crimes like theft and enable easy rule , they decreed that the expanding city should be segregated into walled , self - contained districts , defined by the activities that could be conducted within them . This led to the creation of Procampur ' s famous color - coded wards . Some Thultyrls ruled as tyrants , demanding total obedience and instilling terror in their subjects . In the mid - 13th century DR , the current ruling Thultyrl was killed by a fever that struck Procampur . He was succeeded by his son , a young man at the time , born " circa " 1220 DR . At this time , three generations of ruling Thultyrls had been served by the Pearl as their Hamayarch . This Thultyrl was an energetic young man , considered a good ruler and the wisest in some time . He could be amiable and generous , but bad - tempered when sick or injured . His personal symbol was of flying griffin s . He loved hunting . His personal secretary was Beriall , and Enguerrand was one of his Forty bodyguards . In the Year of Burning Steel , 1246 DR , the neighboring city of Tsurlagol was taken over by a horde of orc s , goblinoid s , and other marauders , led by the orc warlord Fottergrim . The Thultyrl chose to honor Procampur ' s treaty with Tsurlagol and led an army to besiege and liberate the city . To supplement his forces , he hired mercenaries , including camel - riding cavalry from the Shaar and the Siegebreaker s , an adventuring band of sappers . On campaign , he brought his hawks , hounds , and master huntsman with him and enjoyed a hunting trip , though this was cover for a scouting expedition . However , the Pearl believed that the Thultyrl was destined to die young , at the age of 26 and early in his reign , in battle against Fottergrim before the walls of Tsurlagol . Instead , he was wounded on his hunting trip ( an event perhaps orchestrated by the Pearl ) . The Pearl secretly prevented his wounds from healing to keep him away from the frontlines and Fottergrim , believing that he would go on to become a good king and complete the Great Codex of Procampur ' s laws . Tsurlagol was liberated regardless . Modern history . In the Year of the Wandering Wyrm , 1317 DR , the current Thultyrl recruited the temple corps to help defend the city against the Plague of Dragons and the dragon that spread them , before it too suffered from them . By 1357 DR , the Thultyrl of Procampur was Rendeth of the Royal Blood , a young , popular , energetic , but level - headed warrior . However , the position of hamayarch was held by Alamondh , in truth an evil mage named Carthoun Misintle who had desires on the throne . Alamondh plotted to kill Rendeth and take his place under a magical disguise , but was forced to wait until Rendeth produce an heir with the family ' s distinctive appearance . Despite the Thultyrl ' s traditional vow of vengeance on pirates , Alamondh encouraged Rendeth to relax the city ' s stance on piracy , showing leniency and conciliation . A few pirates were even allowed to use Procampur ' s port , provided that their crimes were not too great and no Procampan captain accused them of anything . When in Marpenoth of the Year of the Shield , 1367 DR , Procampur was struck by the featherlung plague , high priests Orn Thavil of Tymora and Baniya Dolester of Lliira went to the poor district to set up an auxiliary shrine and treat the sick directly , and other priests soon joined then . Though their actions halted the spread of the disease , the Thultyrl reprimanded both high priests for breaking Procampur ' s district rules , and reminded them that the city and its laws were older than a number of deities . Both Thultyrl Rendeth and Hamayarch Alamondh were still in power by the Year of Wild Magic , 1372 DR .
