Durindale

Amos & Ardos

Twin red tiefling sorcerers with horns curling in opposite directions. Ardos is the older and taller of the brothers, with dark long hair and deep red eyes. Amos shares similar but lighter features and a smaller stature than his brother. The brothers found themselves in debt to the Zhentarim after Ardos fell ill from ingesting a mysterious poison and unable to afford the expensive anti-toxin and were forced to balance the ledger by taking on missions for the organization. After the Heroes of Durindale thwarted the Zhentarim's plans in the Ardeep forest, the brothers decided to make an escape attempt, hoping to discover a way to save Ardos' life somewhere other than beneath the indentured servitude of the Zhentarim. The party eventually discovered the brothers on their way back towards Waterdeep. Recognizing the familiar fraternal bond between them and with greater understanding of their goals, Parathrax restored Ardos' health and cleansed the toxin from his body. The party then offered the twin tieflings a chance at a fresh start in Durindale, which the two readily accepted.

With the then captain of the guard lost in the fight, he was promoted to his current role at the age of 26. It's only been 10 years, but the decade has aged him twice that. He is battleworn, weary of politics and dealing with his absent minded mayor, but bears his duty nonetheless. His resources are spread thin, and as winter approaches, he has more concerns than solutions.

Endriel's Harps

Count Jermyn

28 year old human bard who performs up and down the Long Road gathering intel. The newest agent in your group. Entertaining, but equal parts overbearing at times. He is obviously not a count, but it’s part of his bit that satires the wealthy and aristocrats.

Socially awkward young woman in charge of Neverwinter teleportation circle. Had to patch the hole Vorothruun placed in the roof. Studying to become an arcane mage.

The Feathered

Wingbearer Vinca

Second in command to Caltha and quite prideful. Spurned and angry about his position and to add insult to injury, his cloak has been stolen and he has been relegated to wearing no cloak at all. A thin and brooding figure, his sharp expressions and elongated face place his malcontent on full display. Wearing the same dark leather armor with additional embellishments of wings and claws stitched in, he seems out of place wearing no feathery cloak. He pushes long dark hair back out of his eyes and sneers in your direction.

Brother Altissima

The cultist who interrogates Endriel Magkas when he first comes to consciousness in Espionage & Escape.

Brother Iberis

A sickly, coughing member of the Feathered who is bullied by his cohorts before being killed by the party while on patrol and set up to look as though he has killed himself to hide their presence.

Leader of the faction that had taken Parathraaj captive and partnered with the followers of Loviatar in the Lady's Hand Monastery. Following the defeat of Malus and revelation of his deceit, returns to Durindale to aid Vorothruun in his quest for truth and power. Advanced in age, the frail in form human woman before you would seem almost maternal, wrapped in a shawl of grey feathers if it weren’t for the dark tattoos of eldritch symbols running down her neck and underneath thinning whisks of graying hair. As such, she gives off a presence of confident wisdom and looks unperturbed by your interruption.
