The city is famous for its winding canals, broad streets, elegant stone walkways, floating flower beds, public gardens, and grand wizard towers, because naturally Thay decided oppression needed curb appeal. Beneath that beauty, however, Eltabbar was built with arcane precision, its roads, canals, and structures forming a massive protective glyph meant to help imprison the demon lord Eltab below the city. For centuries, it served as a haven for [[Red Wizards]] and a major center of Thayan power, trade, magic, and slave markets. In 1367 DR, [[Szass Tam]] released Eltab in a failed attempt to bind him, causing earthquakes and floods that devastated the city before it was rebuilt with undead labor.
