Personality: Once spurned by all he’d held dear,
Elaith found escape in evil and violence. He’s ruthless
and always in control, even to the point of being cold.
The only emotion most can ever remember seeing on
Elaith’s face is a cold, hard rage. The moon elf’s sense
of ironic, black humor is also a trademark.
Locales Frequented: Evermeet (only long
ago), and many locales in and around Waterdeep
(including his tavern, The Hidden Blade)
and Undermountain.
History: Elaith was born and grew to maturity
amid the splendor of the isle of Evermeet. He had a
home, love, and he was heir to the Craulnober
moonblade.
Then came his time to draw the family’s moonblade.
The moonblade’s gem clouded to the dead,
milky white of a blind man’s eye as the Craulnober
moonblade rejected him. As the last of his line, the
moonblade had not killed him as it would have normally.
With only despair and failure in his heart,
Elaith left Evermeet that very day. He took passage
on a vessel to Waterdeep.
Once in Waterdeep, he discovered the cold rage
and icy temper that have come to mark most of his
life since then. Putting his own interests and survival
above all, Elaith has grown to quite the notorious
figure in and around the City of Splendors.
Not long ago, Elaith’s mistress gave birth to his
daughter, Azariah. Elaith also helped Danilo Thann
(upon the advice of a priest) recover an elven artifact
from the Knights of the Shield. In the climactic
battle, Elaith was struck by a poisoned blade. As he
lay dying, his only concern was for his daughter, and
the moonstone in the hilt of the dormant moonblade
glowed back to life. Elaith survived the poison and is
trying to adjust to his new role as a father.
Motivations/Goals: Elaith’s utmost concern now
is his daughter and seeing that she’s raised properly
and is provided for in case something should happen
to him. He’s given up his moonblade, saving it for
Azariah.
Campaign Uses: Elaith is one of the most intriguing
characters Waterdeep-based PCs can meet.
While he’s thoroughly evil, perhaps the elf he once
was has been reawakened with the birth of his heir.
PCs could meet Elaith if he needs some reputable
deed done, something he dare not risk due to his
reputation, or if something happened to Azariah,
