The Harpells

The Harpell family was an eccentric clan of wizards who, for the most part, lived in the Ivy Mansion in Longsaddle in the Savage Frontier of northwest Faerûn. Despite their eccentricity and their strange experiments, they were well known for collectively having a vast knowledge of the history and geography of the North.
They were a kind-hearted clan, but their magic was capricious, sometimes backfiring in peculiar ways. As members of The Lords' Alliance , they were firm allies of Mithral Hall, despite their unreliability as magicians.
