Zulkir

Zulkir is a title given to those belonging to Thay's ruling council, the Council of Zulkirs. There were eight of them, one for each school of magic. While the zulkirs ruled Thay, most day-to-day operations were handled by the tharchions.
In centuries past, the zulkirs served as equal, if competing, rulers. Now, the zulkir of necromancy Szass Tam is unquestionably the head of the council and Thay as a whole.
