Disclaimer: This page discusses one view of Thay, an infamously evil, slave-keeping, magocratic country in the Forgotten Realms. This vision is offered for entertainment purposes for adults only. I do not condone anything described; quite the opposite. Please read with discretion, and feel free to stop anytime. Before you use any ideas herein, please gain your group's full consent to engage the material.

As a country, Thay is relatively new, but as a people, Thayans have been developing for millennia. It's incredibly helpful to have their history on hand, but it's spread across different books and needs to be pinned down. More details can be found in books like the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting (3rd edition), Unapproachable East, Lost Empires of Faerun, Champions of Ruin, the Grand History of the Realms, and Lords of Darkness.
Entries in this timeline drawn from canon sources are in plain text. Those which pertain to House Valgon and events created for our campaign are italicized. You can read more about enclave dates in my writeup on the embassies.
Please note: I will not be using or reporting on canon events regarding Thay after 1371. Feel free to alter this timeline to suit your own needs.
