NPC

  • The gold medal for the “Most Murdered” competition in Phandalin definitely goes to Thel Dendrar. The woodcarver’s untimely demise at the hands of the Redbrand Ruffians is part of the El Mop story, after all. He’s been murdered so many times over the last decade that he’s like the Michael Phelps of Sword Coast murder…

  • Freda carries herself with the quiet dignity and poise of a noble lady; traits seemingly at odds with the weaver’s dye-stained hands and humble origins as the daughter of refugees from Neverwinter’s Blacklake District. The weaver’s prodigious skill at the loom is matched only by her depth of knowledge regarding Phandalin’s history. Freda occasionally regales…

  • Trading his sword for a plowshare, Daran Edermath came to Phandalin in search of a quiet retirement after suffering a grievous wound in the defense of Greenest during The Tyranny of Dragons. The graying half-elf walks with a pronounced limp (a permanent token of his time spent fighting in the conflict). Once a member of the Order…

  • The traits that define Harbin Wester are emblematic of the things common folk expect of the noble class. Pompous, calculating, duplicitous, and singularly focused on the concentration of his own personal wealth – hidden beneath the veneer of polite and effusive courtesy. Despite these poorly concealed flaws in his character, Phandalin’s residents have shown enough…

  • Before she was the proprietor of the dirtiest, most dangerous watering hole along the Triboar Trail, Grista was a member of the Wilddwarf Brigade, a Dwarven battlerager squad of Citadel Adbar. Many of the Wilddwarves met their end during the Battle of the Cold Vale when their company was waylaid by a force of orcs,…

  • As a young maidservant at Snome Villa in Waterdeep’s North Ward, the common born Trilena captured the heart of Toblen, scion of House Snome, a Waterdhavian noble family whose fortune was built upon brewing, distilling, importing, and exporting alcoholic beverages. When whispers at the villa told the tale of Toblen’s affections resulting in their maidservant’s…

  • Despite her friendly, kind, and sensitive nature, there was once a time when Elsa found herself drawn to confident and charming men possessed of a devil-may-care attitude and utter disregard for authority. It was during a romance with one such rascal that Elsa became an unwitting accessory to the murder of a City Watch member…

  • Wait, WAIT…hold up. Who are these people that live in Phandalin? The text describes Phandalin’s residents as “hardy settlers from the cities of Neverwinter and Waterdeep.” But who in their right mind would move outside the confines of a walled city-state in The North of Faerûn to a remote, undefended town out in the middle…

  • Spend enough evenings at The Stonehill Inn or The Sleeping Giant, and no doubt you will hear the fanciful tall tales of Lanar, Phandalin’s resident lush. The oft sozzled miner spins his drunken, rambling yarns with such conviction that one might almost believe his outlandish claims. Like that time he once saw a bear with…

  • Once the quartermaster of Degar Mindero’s host, Elmar Barthen is a survivor of the Crossings of the Redrun; an epic slaughter during the War of the Silver Marches in which a large orc horde overwhelmed and destroyed Mindero’s forces in 1484 DR. With the remnants of the host scattered across the Silver Marches, Barthen aimlessly…
