Priam Agrivar Priam Agrivar was a male human paladin of Tyr of the North . He was a famous adventurer and a crewmember of the " Realms Master " . Personality . Priam was taciturn and solemn in nature , keeping tight reins upon himself and acting with care . But this did not make him a grim , severe sort to quell others ' amusement . He possessed a kind , good humor with his friends and allies , which made him likable among them . He was always ready to help out and to help others , making him a good team - mate and team leader . Priam took his calling as a paladin seriously , bearing its great responsibility to both himself to others . He was courageous with a keen sense of justice . Nevertheless , he preferred the spirit of the law to its letter , and his understanding of people made him tolerant of others . However , he was dogged by his depression and associated alcoholism , a problem he fought off twice in his life to believe in himself once more . He knew too well that even being a holy and honorable paladin couldn ' t save him from drowning himself in a tankard . In the depths of his depression , he wallowed in self - pity , was indecisive , felt he was a coward , and drank heavily . He did not wish to be a burden on others . Description . Priam was tall ( 6 ' 1 " ) and lean , but with the muscular build of a warrior . However , while his arms were withered , they were thin and bony , in contrast to the rest of his build . He had deep , violet - blue eyes and long dark black hair pulled back into a ponytail at his neck . Generally , he preferred to be clean shaven , but could have a few days ' growth when depressed . He appeared to be in his early forties " circa " 1358 DR . Abilities . Priam possessed all the powers of paladin , with the ability to " detect evil " , to heal and " remove disease " at a touch , and to turn undead , as well as an immunity to disease . However , he did not summon a mount . He retained these powers even as a fallen knight , but took some time to relearn them . With his mind so clouded , he could not turn undead . Relationships . A member of the Agrivar family , Priam Agrivar was the only son of the renowned wizard Ostus Agrivar . Ostus wished to prepare his son to succeed him as Lord Agrivar , though Priam was not done adventuring . Nevertheless , they remained close . He also had a half - sister , Cybriana , who was later transformed into Kyriani Agrivar . They stayed in touch following their meeting and her transformation . Priam developed an affection for and attraction to Ishi Barasume , a warrior from Kozakura and his shipmate aboard the " Realms Master " . The feeling was mutual and they were well matched in spirit and in battle . Possessions . Early in his career , Priam fought with bastard sword , shield , and dagger , and wore chain mail . He later gained a " + 1 longsword " , enhanced against magic - using and enchanted creatures ; a " + 1 longbow " with six " arrows of illithid slaying " ; a set of plate mail ; a blowgun ; and a " periapt of proof against poison " . Agrivar habitually wore his family ' s crest over his armor , a rampant black griffon . Following his father ' s death , Priam Agrivar was the absent lord of the Agrivar family estate on Mount Sar , including the family home called Ostus ' s Hold . While Priam adventured in search of his father ' s killer and otherwise fighting evil , Lord Nasaqh held the Agrivar lands in trust . Some six years later , Nasaqh likely hoped for Priam to return to the family seat someday . He was still holding the lands for Priam by 1372 DR . History . " His Most Valiant Knight " . Although the son of Ostus Agrivar the renowned mage , Priam Agrivar made his reputation as a paladin of Tyr , god of justice . As a young man , he was noted for his skill with the sword and his dedication to justice . Some felt he would rise to rule a city , much like Lord Piergeiron of Waterdeep . Ostus and Priam performed many services for Lord Nasaqh of the neighboring land , for which Nasaqh was quite grateful . When Nasaqh ' s barons revolted against his rule , Priam Agrivar took service with him . The rebellion was finally quelled in the Year of the Dragon , 1352 DR and Priam ' s services were no longer required . Hearing rumors of a barbarian horde threatening Soubar , Priam planned to ride to their aid , but returned to his father ' s house to bid farewell . However , at that time , an unknown foe — Imgig Zu — broke through the wall of Ostus ' s Hold and attacked father and son . He crippled Priam ' s arms and hands with the " staff of withering " and slew Ostus with a death spell . The attacker seized the " Selûne ' s Eye " , which Ostus had been custodian of , and left mocking the broken paladin . Agrivar buried Ostus in the family crypt , dismissed his servants , then ventured out in search of his killer . Selûne ' s Smile . But with his arms withered and unable to wield a sword , his spirit broken and consumed with self - pity , and frustrated by his failure to find his foe , Priam fell into a deep depression and drunkenness . His reputation as a heroic knight faded , forgotten by many , and he never used his paladin powers . Some six years later , he ' d wandered into Waterdeep and was reduced to begging on the streets . Priam was begging outside the Selûne ' s Smile when Vajra Valmeyjar , champion gladiator of the Arena of Blood recognized him and gave him a coin . Inside , Vajra met Cybriana , Timoth Eyesbright , and Onyx the Invincible , who ' d been seeking the " great paladin " Agrivar . Heading outside , they rescued the beggar from being beaten by thugs , and Priam Agrivar revealed his identity . Together , the heroes journeyed into the wilderness to seek the famed smith Jogaoh , a dwarf smith whose forge it was said could create works of magic , whom Onyx believed could help restore strength to Priam ' s arms . However , Onyx doubted it would be any good against Priam ' s continuing drunkenness and self - pity , but Cybriana had faith in him . On the way , they were lured into a trap and attacked by a dustdigger — in truth a pet of Jogaoh named Ulala . Jogaoh also doubted Priam , yet upon hearing his tale , he agreed to help , provided the companions retrieved something from atop nearby Stoner ' s Needle . After battling ghoul warriors in the night , Vajra , Priam , and Jogaoh ascended the rocky tower . Reaching the summit , Jogaoh revealed he too was a victim of Imgig Zu , his arms similarly withered , but he had forged for himself enchanted gauntlets that gave him strength . Jogaoh gave these to Priam and took a basilisk - guarded gem that restored the dwarf to his true form , that of a fire elemental . At that point , the basilisk awoke and attacked Vajra and Priam . Although Priam had his strength back , he still lacked his courage , and froze from fear rather than the basilisk ' s gaze . It was Vajra who slew the basilisk , using the reflection of the gem so it would turn itself to stone . Ashamed , still a drunk , Priam left , intending to lose himself in the Realms rather than be a burden on the companions . He looked back — only to see them ambushed and captured by bounty seekers of Manshaka . Finding his courage once more , Priam intercepted the bounty seekers , passing a dagger to Vajra , and ambushing the barbarian . The companions fought their way free , overpowered the bounty seekers , and left them tied up in a net dangling from a tree , before continuing on their way . Cybriana told her story and when she mentioned " Selûne ' s Eye " , Priam realized they shared a father . But , just then , the group heard chasme pursuing new victims and raced to the rescue . Priam slew one . Meanwhile , Imgig Zu and Kilili observed " Selûne ' s Eye " glow like the moon , meaning that Cybriana was near his tower and had been found by his chasme . Kilili visited Cybriana in the night , and lured her close to Imgig ' s tower . Imgig ' s gargoyle s attacked the party , snatching up Cybriana , Priam , and the rest . Cybriana was taken into their lair as Priam fought his way free and used his new - found strength to hold open the passage for his companions . But Imgig collapsed his own tower on them to cover his flight . The heroes escaped into the base of the tower , and Priam saved Vajra from being crushed , but not before she was badly battered . Timoth urged Priam to use his healing powers , and Onyx guilted him over the basilisk . Priam resolved that no more would he be afraid and self - pitying , and for the first time in years , used his powers to heal Vajra ' s injuries . Entering the caverns , the heroes battled through Imgig ' s ogre minions , following a trail of flowers conjured by Cybriana to where she was held . Here , Imgig Zu announced he would use the combined powers of Cybriana and Kilili to open the " Eye " and release his long - imprisoned people to overrun and conquer the Realms . But , too late , Imgig ' s people escaped , and still the ogres subdued the heroes . An exultant Imgig taunted Priam and threatened to kill him as he had killed Ostus Agrivar . But , just then , the roof of the cavern tore open and the brilliant light of the full moon shone through , blinding the ogres . Cybriana urged her brother Priam to strike , and strike he did , slaying Imgig Zu in the name of their father . Cybriana escaped and grabbed Kilili , and when they touched , they merged into one being , the living key to " Selûne ' s Eye " . The Cybriana - half gained dominance over the Kilili - half , and the merged being vanished inside the gem , drawing all of Imgig ' s people back within , saving the Realms from devastation at the cost of her unique identity . A merged being levitated down , passing the shrunken " Selûne ' s Eye " to Priam . Part Cybriana and part Kilili , she combined their names and named herself " Kyriani " . Priam , Kyriani , and the others returned to the Selûne ' s Smile where Luna rewarded them . She revealed that with Imgig ' s death , the withering spell had faded , and Priam found his hands restored to full health and strength . Priam had slain his father ' s killer , had recovered his natural strength , his courage and his pride , at the same time discovering a new half - sister . Then came his longer battle against the bottle . The " Realms Master " . Some time after , Priam discovered the " Hand of Vaprak " and rescued Vartan Hai Sylvar , a gold elf cleric , from gnoll s . In an effort to destroy the " Hand " , the two joined the crew of " Realms Master " under the mage Dwalimar Omen , with Foxilon Cardluck , Minder , and Ishi Barasume , on a mission to locate and safely dispose of dangerous artifact s . Priam was still adventuring as part of the " Realms Master " by 1372 DR . He also stayed in touch with his sister Kyriani .
