Laraelra Harsard

Laraelra Harsard is a human sorceress with minor magical powers. As of 1479 DR, she is the Blackstaff Heir under Vajra Safahr.

Description

Laraelra is very thin, pale, and has long black hair. She is an idealist who cares deeply for Waterdeep and its inhabitants. She champions the causes of underdogs, including dwarves in the Cellarers' & Plumbers' Guild who are frequently discriminated against. Despite her independence, however, she is insecure and fears her father's disapproval.

History

In 1479 DR, while exploring the sewers with her hired bodyguard Meloon Wardragon, Laraelra heard a woman's screams. She was able to track the source to a house owned by Renaer Neverember. Laraelra, Meloon, Renaer, and two of his friends rescued the woman, who turned out to be the Blackstaff's Heir, Vajra Safahr, who had been kidnapped after the secret murder of Blackstaff Samark Dhanzscul. Laraelra and friends were forced to leave Waterdeep for a short time after Khondar "Ten-Rings" Naomal framed the group for Vajra's supposed murder. They returned to Waterdeep and Blackstaff Tower, where Vajra officially assumed the title of Blackstaff. Laraelra was accepted by the tower and made Blackstaff's Heir (chosen by Vajra over Eiruk Weskur), allowing her to carry and wield a Blackstaff and channel Vajra's power through it.

Relationships

Laraelra is the daughter of the guildmaster of the Cellarers' & Plumbers' Guild, Malaerigo Harsard. As such, she has detailed knowledge of the sewers and tunnels underneath Waterdeep.
