Wyrruth Wyrruth was a male human shade and an enchanter who operated as an ambassador between the city of Shade and Maerimydra . Description . A dark grey complexion complemented his equally dark eyes and his black hair was kept pulled back in a long ponytail . Wyrruth was tall but gaunt for a human and sported a black goatee . Wyrruth ' s clothing appeared relatively old - fashioned ; he wore a burgundy and black tunic with many layers and gold thread trim along the collar and sleeves . Over this was a weighty mantle of black with a burgundy lining . Personality . An eloquent shade of stately comportment , Wyrruth was completely loyal to Thultanthar and would rather die than betray his people . As an ambassador , Wyrruth was very careful to avoid conflicts in most cases and maintained a diplomatic air throughout his conversations . Abilities . Wyrruth was an adept negotiator and considered , by the leaders of Thultanthar , to be capable enough to serve as the ambassador to Maerimydra where he would need to deal with the dangerous politics of drow society . As a powerful enchanter , his diplomatic skills were complemented by the numerous enchantment spells he had prepared . He often used " sending " spells to communicate with his higher - ups in Shade . Wyrruth had great variety of magic in his repertoire and would supplement his potent " charms " with defensive and offensive spells like " incendiary cloud " or " prismatic wall " . Like many arcanist s from Shade , Wyrruth had been inducted into the higher mysteries of the Shadow Weave as a shadow adept , which allowed him to augment his spells and abilities to great effect . Wyrruth had developed his understanding of the Shadow Weave to such a degree that he was able to summon a protective shield of shadows and even create a shadowy doppelganger of himself . Possessions . In addition to the stately black and burgundy robes he wore , Wyrruth was outfitted with a set of " bracers of armor + 5 " , and an " amulet of natural armor " + 2 . A lavender and green " ioun stone " orbited his head , which could absorb magic hurled at him . Furthermore , he armed himself with a " wand of magic missile " and a " scroll " of " stoneskin " . Relationships . Wyrruth was steadfast in his loyalty to the Empire of Shade and kept in regular contact with his superiors despite residing deep in the Underdark . While operating as the ambassador to Maerimydra , he kept a cordial relationship with the drow and was mostly interested in how the events in the drow city might affect the nearby city of Shade . To this end , Wyrruth maintained a neutral stance during the Silence of Lolth . History . Trained in the arts of the enchanter , Wyrruth was eventually noted for his capabilities as a negotiator . Soon after the City of Shade returned to Toril , above the Anauroch desert , in 1372 DR , Wyrruth was among those selected to be sent throughout Faerun as an ambassador of Shade . He was sent by his superiors to operate as the ambassador to the nearby drow city of Maerimydra , where he took residence in Castle Maerimydra with the ruling drow of House Chûmavh . When the Silence of Lolth struck the Maerimydran drow and the forces of Kurgoth Hellspawn arrived in Eleint 23 , Wyrruth managed to keep out of the conflict and even managed to retain his ambassadorial position after Irae T ' sarran ' s cult of Kiaransalee took control of Castle Maerimydra . Wyrruth remained in the city to keep a close eye on the unfolding events and determine what , if any , impact they may have on the Empire of Shade .
