Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves It introduced millions of moviegoers to the evil Red Wizards of Thay, a classic faction of Dungeons and Dragons bastards. on a period Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, Edgin (Chris Pine) and Holga (Michelle Rodriguez) learn that their former partner Forge Fitzwilliam has risen to power thanks to Sofina, a powerful witch who previously hired the trio to break into Harper’s basement. The pair soon learn that Sofina was the Red Witch of Tai, an evil wizard belonging to the necromancer Zass Tam. In fact, the theft that led to Edgin and Holga’s imprisonment was so that Sofina could get her hands on an artifact that would allow her to create an undead army to use in the Red Wizards’ plot to take over Faerun.
The movie does a good job of explaining the basics of the Red Wizards – they are an organization of powerful magic users who reside in the country of Thay. While most associate the Red Wizards with various sinister plots, it would be more accurate to describe the group as immoral, simply because they will use any means to aid in their endless pursuit of arcane magic. While the group was originally under the direction of a group of Zulkyrs, powerful mages who each represent a different school of magic, Szass Tam eventually orchestrated a civil war that led to his rise as the sole leader of the Red Wizards. Tam’s army consisted mostly of various undead creatures, ranging from zombies to vampires to thistles like Tam himself.
Of course, the red wizard’s most recognizable symbol isn’t the red gowns they wear, but their elaborate tattoos and bald head. Sofina has a traditional red witch tattoo, with the marks representing red flames. These tattoos have magical and mystical powers, as Red Wizards often imbue their tattoos with charms that give them permanent magical abilities of some kind.
