Szass Tam

Szass Tam began as a name Ed Greenwood kept in his private notes years before any Forgotten Realms book was printed: a mighty mage somewhere in the east, with something to do with the undead.

Three ways to take a tale

Read, listen, or keep it

Read by candlelight

The whole tale on one page, with the chapter's painting drifting behind the words. It remembers where you stopped, and Drift can scroll it for you at your own pace.

Listen on YouTube

The same tale, narrated slowly over its paintings, made to fall asleep to. Chapters in the description take you back to where you drifted off.

Keep it as a book
