Tasselgryn "Tas" Velldarn

(a.k.a. Tas)

Tas is an elderly human archmage with greying hair bythe name of Tasselgryn “Tas” Velldarn. To trusted friends, or those who explicitly request it, she can also offer her services as a forger. She is an expert in doing so, and can create very convincing forgeries for the right price. She maintains a massive connection of contacts throughout the Sword Coast, and keeps up to date on bureaucratic changes, enabling her to forge just about any writ, using her impressions of various lords’ wax seals. A minor certification might cost something in the realm of 100gp, while something more substantial such as an invitation to a lord’s ball might cost as much as 2000gp. It is not known what she does with the money, as those who have attempted to steal from her have quickly fallen victim to her many magical wards. Unbeknownst to most, Tasselgryn is a good friend of Halaster. She once travelled Undermountain with a group of adventurers, but was the only one to make it to Halaster’s personal demiplane. When she arrived, Halaster was in an unusually good mood, and invited her for tea. The two of them talked for hours, and found, to Tasselgryn’s surprise, that they had a lot in common. With no further challenges in Undermountain left to overcome, Tasselgryn moved into Skullport. Halaster visits from time to time, and may even be present when the players arrive. He is unusually friendly if he is met here, and may even share some cryptic lore about Undermountain, with a bit of convincing.
