Looking for info on any towns or cities that have red wizard enclaves located in or near them between Waterdeep & Amn, thanks.

I don't recall a full listing ever being published [aside from the short listing in 3e's Lords of Darkness]. However, the aforementioned tome also states:- "Other large cities may have a single shop staffed by a handful of Thayan wizards or are visited at least monthly by traveling wizards with goods to sell."
So, you can probably justify the case for an Enclave popping up anywhere along the Sword Coast, as long as the above condition is met. |

Being that 3.x was never fleshed out with all that nice juicy lore for the sword coast, I would imagine that most major trading cities would of been approached for it.
sO that being the case, I agree with sage.
( you could also have one along one of the trade routes too, seconded use as an inn for travelers, hey any way to make a silver) |
why is being a wizard like being a drow? both are likely to find a dagger in the back from a rival or one looking to further his own goals, fame and power

I thought the 3E Realms were to detailed!
I guess not, huh? |
"These things also I have observed: that knowledge of our world is
to be nurtured like a precious flower, for it is the most precious
thing we have. Wherefore guard the word written and heed
words unwritten and set them down ere they fade . . . Learn
then, well, the arts of reading, writing, and listening true, and they
will lead you to the greatest art of all: understanding."

There is one in Triel (or Hill's Edge, I forget which) just up the River Chionthar.
Not to metion the ones from Lords of Darkness, Sage mentioned: Athkatla, Waterdeep, Baldur's Gate and Secomber. |

| I'm sure that Athlatla would have one too, they only need to pay the Cowled Wizards. |

The City of Coin does have an Enclave, as both BlackAce and I noted earlier, from the 3e Lords of Darkness tome. |

| I was wondering, with the changes to Thay and the hierachy in 4E, does Thay still have enclaves in major cities in 1479 DR? I would think it is unlikely since Thay is now an enemy to everyone as an undead kingdom. |

If it's permitted to quote from the 4E Campaign Guide:
quote:
Red Wizards were once purveyors of magic items across
Faerûn. However, civil war and the Spellplague spelled
the end of Thay as a mercantile power. Where the Red
Wizards were unpopular, the upheaval left their enclaves
open to attack and destruction. Luckier Red Wizards were
often cut off from their homeland. Many decided to stay
abroad rather than return to a Thay ruled by Szass Tam.
The people of Thay still refer to the arcanists among
them as Red Wizards, and only such mages are allowed to
wear red within Thay. But a small confederacy of magicitem
dealers calling themselves Red Wizards still exists as
a trade concern. This organization is most powerful in the
major coastal cities of the Sea of Fallen Stars, as well as in
the Moonsea region—especially Mulmaster. It enjoys no
protection from Thay. Most non-Thayan folk now equate
“Red Wizard” with magic merchants rather than with
Szass Tam’s sinister nation.

| You could possibly tie the now independent Red Wizard enclaves to the rebel Zulkirs and Tharchions camped out to the south of Thay (around the Alaor, or wherever they would up). I think they're still traditionally Red Wizard flavoured, they just been booted out by Mr. Mega-Lich. |
