Darrambur's Devils
Unlike other adventuring companies named after their leader, the elder Lord Darrambur Sultlue of Waterdeep does not ride with the band of adventuring darkhearts that obey his commands. Darrambur communicates with the Devils by means of magic from within his family home in the City of Splendors, where he gives instructions and hears reports of his Devils’ activities on a near-daily basis. They enact Darrambur’s will up and down the Sword Coast and among the many islands on the Sea of Swords.
Darrambur’s business is the slave trade, his style is one of depravity and lawlessness, and he never hesitates to pay good coin to his Devils when they return from a particularly difficult task, such as the kidnapping of a noble heir or the theft of a potent magic item. Lord Sultlue has personally murdered rivals kidnapped in this manner, then had them replaced with slaves magically transformed to look like his latest victim. His Devils have delivered such disguised slaves back to family eager to receive their lost kin, collected any reward offered, then rode off before the slave exploded in an angry blast of magic.
For all his wickedness, Lord Darrambur considers himself not nearly as debauched as his younger sister, Lady Jaszmaeril Sultlue, who had preferred until late to experiment with slaves obtained exclusively from Waterdeep. She could always count on Lord Never ember to look the other way, but that reliance became a liability when Neverember was deposed and he relocated to Neverwinter.
In exchange for Lord Neverember not revealing the slaving activities of House Sultlue to Waterdeep’s new Open Lord, Darrambur has agreed to his sister’s urgent request to dispatch his Devils to Neverwinter for a season or two of busy work.
Claimants to Neverwinter’s throne are once again gathering in the City of Skilled Hands, and his lordship Dagult Neverember expects each one to quietly disappear before they can publicly reveal their heritage and lay claim to the throne he covets for himself. For their part, Darrambur and Jaszmaeril are curious to know what would-be Kings and Queens of Neverwinter taste like.
The Devils are a mix of thieves, bounty hunters, mercenary fighters and a pair of former members of the Watchful Order of Magists and Protectors (of Waterdeep). A Paladin-turned- Oathbreaker is the public face of the Devils. She answers to Darrambur and no one else.
