Vellynne Harpell
Vellynne Harpell was a member of the prestigious Harpell family, based in the town of Wodeney. Cold and dispassionate, she took to magic in her late forties and was skilled in the arcane tradition of necromancy. She had a lifelong struggle—a nervous disorder that manifests as trembling. It affected her balance and her stride, but she learned to cast her spells unimpeded by it.
Despite her firm grasp of the dark arts, she would not have been admitted into the Arcane Brotherhood without her family connections—a fact that stuck in her craw.
Vellynne brought a family heirloom with her to Icewind Dale: a professor orb that she refered to by its proper name, Professor Skant. This orb has knowledge about the Nether Empire that became important once Ythryn was discovered.
Relationships
She maintained a rivalry with a fellow wizard of the Arcane Brotherhood, a Tiefling woman named Avarice. While the two sought the same goals in their careers they refused to work with one another and even acted in detriment to the other's actions.Relationships
