Daran Edermath (Da-ran Ed-er-math)

Daran Edermath was a retired half-elf adventurer who dwelt in Phandalin.
Daran has silver hair and is over a hundred years old. He was a member of the Order of the Gauntlet but now retired, but still keeps in touch with them. 
Daran is quick to help, and is happy to speak and trade with newcomers to the town of Phandalin, sometimes offering them a place to stay in his apple orchard. However, he is slow to put his faith in strangers, and any hint of underhandedness could forever lose his trust. He preferred to avoid politics of the former mayor and banker Harbin Wester.
