Nimor Imphraezl Nimor Imphraezl was a talented and deadly zekyl assassin of the Jaezred Chaulssin . In the post - Spellplague era , Nimor became the patron of a Jaezred Chaulssin fosterage in Menzoberranzan under the guise of Nagyon Nurindyn , a member of House Nurindyn . Description . Nimor often appeared as a youthful drow male . He had long silver hair and was short and slender with a narrow , handsome face . He was physically very strong , much stronger than a normal drow . He was a member of the Jaezred Chaulssin , a group of assassins who dreamed of casting down Lolth ' s unholy hierarchy in every drow city in the Underdark and becoming the secret guiding force in rebuilding a new society and then its ruling power . Abilities . Thanks to his draconic heritage , Nimor was much stronger than other drow and had perfected many dark spells of the assassin ' s lethal profession . History . Background . Nimor was not raised in Chaulssin , as it was considered too dangerous for the young . To counteract this danger , the leadership of the Jaezred Chaulssin decided to create fosterages , bases of operation that doubled as places to raise their children . With him being a half – shadow dragon of the family , Imphraezl made him the son of Ilphtrin Imphraezl , the Patron Father of Sschindylryn , creating the suspicion that he was raised in Sschindylryn . In the Jaezred Chaulssin , rising in rank was done by defeating a superior , and Nimor got his position as the Anointed Blade by murdering his chief rival , Antrysn Barriath , who was subsequently raised from the dead . Nimor held this position by the time of the Silence of Lolth in 1372 DR . This made Mauzzkyl Jaezred , the Patron Grandfather and thus the leader of his organization , the only person he was accountable to and put him above all other Patron Fathers . His duties were not to lead a fosterage but to be the personal servitor to Mauzzkyl . The War of the Spider Queen . During the Silence of Lolth in 1372 DR , the Jaezred Chaulssin seized the chance to take over a number of weakened Lolth ite cities . Nimor was assigned to Menzoberranzan . He helped instigate a slave revolt in the city ( led by the alhoon Syrzan ) in order to both weaken the city and take power over it . Soon after , Nimor solidified his support from Crown Prince Horgar Steelshadow of Gracklstugh ( by bringing down his father , the king ) and the Lichdrow Dyrr and Matron Mother Yasraena Dyrr of House Agrach Dyrr ( by killing the matron of the house ' s rival , House Faen Tlabbar ) . ) . The duergar army , with assistance from Nimor , who brought in Kaanyr Vhok to aid their cause and who was able to infiltrate the city ' s ranks as " Captain Zhayemed of Agrach Dyrr " , attacked and defeated the Menzoberranyr army at the Pillars of Woe . The combined forces subsequently besieged Menzoberranzan for a number of months . However , before the siege was successful , Lolth returned as the Silence of Lolth was ended . The priestesses of Menzoberranzan regained their powers and were able to turn aside their besiegers . Nimor returned to the Jaezred Chaulssin in failure and was demoted from his position as the Anointed Blade . Infiltration of Menzoberranzan . Since his failure to overthrow Menzoberranzan , Nimor worked carefully to reacquire his former position . To this end , Nimor adopted the guise of a minor noble called Nagyon Nurindyn and even managed to help establish a fosterage in Menzoberranzan by using House Nurindyn as their front . By 1479 DR , Nimor was the patron of this fosterage and directing his assassins . Nimor chose Arach - Tinilith , the priestess school that doubled as the theological center of Menzoberranzan , as his target . In 1469 DR , he managed to infiltrate the graduation ceremony of the newly ordained and caused carnage by intentionally disrupting a ritual , resulting in a rampaging demon horde that caused not only heavy material damage to the temple but also mortal casualties . Activities . Undercover as a patron of the Menzoberranzan fosterage around 1479 DR , his ultimate goal was to incite rebellion against the matriarchy and thus Lolth . To this end , he ordered his followers to spread , especially to the male populace , who were by divine mandate chronically maltreated , the idea to rebel against Lolth ' s priestesses and by extension their goddess . Another operation under his guidance was infiltration . He succeeded in so far that opposition groups in the male - dominated warrior and mage schools , Melee - Magthere and Sorcere , started to organize with his people among them . He also ordered his shadar - kai and half - drow members to sell themselves into slavery to noble houses to become favored slaves and suggest an alliance with House Nurindyn , his front , in order to make it easier to spy on them while at the same time creating discord in the infiltrated houses . All this was done to create at every social layer of the city a climate of dissatisfaction directed at its rulers under Lolth to cause rebellion . Despite his terrorist activities , ranging from rabble - rousing to assassination up to the carnage mentioned above , Lolth ' s clergy was incapable discerning the hand of the Jaezred Chaulssin in these events on any meaningful level . Relationship . Apparently , he commanded a 140 members strong force of the Jaezred Chaulssin in Menzoberranzan . His most important rivalry was with Antrysn Barriath , as mentioned above , he killed him once for his position . After his resurrection in 1372 DR , Antrysn retook his old position . By 1480 DR , the next violent showdown between the rivals was believed to be close . Abilities . Nimor was a " zekyl " and had all the abilities of one and was an assassin of the Jaezred Chaulssin . The assassins ’ guild ’ s members all had some training in either as a sorcerer , rogue or assassin . Nimor received training as a rogue , an assassin and as a fighter . He was extremely skilled in the traditional assassination skills of the roguish quality of trying to kill his target with the first strike or through the usage of poison , to which he was conditioned against , and received further specific training of the Jaezred Chaulssin to augment the lethality of his killing strike . His hiding skill was such , that he could simply hide away no matter whether people were watching him or not . As a fighter , he was trained to fight with one weapon in each hand , a rapier , for which he gained even more training , and a dagger each hand . Over the course of his career as an assassin , Nimor learnt to cast a number of spells . Naturally , he learnt a number of spells , that were useful to his profession as an assassin . He was capable to counter divination spell by either diverting them to a wrong target with " misdirection " or remain simply undetected with " nondetection " . He could fool others ’ senses , with " ghost sound " hearing , vision with either shutting them out with " obscuring mist " or " darkness " or becoming invisible via " invisibility " or " greater invisibility " and smell via " pass without trace " . He could protect him against being trapped via " freedom of movement " or against general damage with " false life " . He could also cast " poison " and " true strike " to make attacks more accurate . Possessions . Nimor owned a large number of magic items that helped him at his profession . He owned an " assassin ' s dagger " to increase the lethality of his killing strike of an assassin and a green black steel " rapier of puncturing " , that sapped with its vitality of the enemy , dropping that enemy ’ s resilience to withstand his killing blows . He wore a magical mithral chainshirt , ghat wasn ’ t only enchanted to better protect him but also to increase his hiding and sneaking skills , the former was helped with a " greater piwafwi ’ ’ , that also gave him minor protection against fire , and the latter through a pair of " boots of elvenkind " . His " drow house insignia " held the spell " ebon eyes " , to see through " darkness " spells . His most interesting item was a " ring of shadows " . It was an ebony band , that worked as a " ring of see invisibility " for normal people , while under the usage of an assassin such as Nimor , it allowed him to cast both " etheral jaunt " and " shadow walk " .
