She was also raised in her later teenage years by Alustriel Silverhand . Perendra had a long relationship with Lord Zelphar Thann , originally from Waterdeep and later a count of Tethyr . The two were introduced by future king Haedrak . The courtship progressed slowly , because both nobles were overworked and timid . Perendra was a tutor to Geiron Hawkwinter , nephew of Countess Kyrin Hawkwinter . Perendra ' s magical familiar was an owl named Harnoster , whom she befriended and summoned into her service while in Silverymoon with Alustriel . History . In 1347 DR , as the young daughter of the last baron of Elemetar ( it was a barony before the Interregnum , ) she was exiled voluntarily with her father and family from Tethyr on a ship to Baldur ' s Gate From there , they traveled to Waterdeep , where Perendra spent most of her childhood . When she was only fourteen - years - old , her parents were killed by assassins who had tracked them from Tethyr . She was taken by Mirt " the Moneylender " to Alustriel who raised her into adulthood in her palace in Silverymoon . Under Alustriel ' s tutelage , she grew in her magical arts . A few years before 1357 DR , Perendra took her leave of her foster mother Alustriel , moved to Voonlar , and joined the Harpers , whom she had always respected . In 1368 DR , in the month of Eleasis , when Elminster sent Lhaeo through a portal to Voonlar , the lost prince met Perendra and found his first ally in her . The two of them traveled by magic to Silverymoon after a few tenday s , and there they planned with Alustriel and Khelben " Blackstaff " how Lhaeo might be made King Haedrak III and return to Tethyr . After that , the two traveled to Waterdeep to gain further support . Near the end of the war , when Zaranda Star was a prisoner in Shoonach , Prince Haedrak tasked Perendra , Vajra Valmeyjar , Onyx the Invincible , and Ondul Jarduth with teleporting into Myratma and freeing the slaves there in an attempt at a distraction so the prince could rescue Zaranda . They succeeded at rescuing the slaves and performed many acts of sabotage , such as fouling the water supplies and food sources of the city and weakening the walls with magic . After avoiding detection successfully , they escaped from the city by leaping from the walls into the river and swimming to join the rest of the Loyalist army . Rumors . Her romance with Lord Zelphar Thann was a common topic of gossip , as was her appointment to the position of vizera . In the latter case , it was bothersome to many upper - class Tethyrians that Perendra was appointed instead of Duchess - Consort Lawantha Blackthorn , who was higher - ranked as a duchess and a more powerful wizardess . However , Lawantha was a Calishite by birth , while Perendra was Tethyrian . Moreover , Perendra was Prince Haedrak ' s first ally and had saved the future king and queen ' s lives on multiple occasions .
