Myrmeen Lhal Myrmeen Lhal was the Lady Lord of the Cormyrean city of Arabel , a skilled ranger , and revered member of the Moonstars . History . Myrmeen was born in a poor section of Calimport into a life of obscurity . At the age of six her mother lost a child during a storm , claiming a group called the Night Parade had taken the baby ' s spirit to a better place . Despite her mother ' s words she was plagued by nightmares throughout her childhood . She married a man named Dak at the age of twenty and they were to have a baby together . On the night of the birth there was another bad storm and Myrmeen lost consciousness . When she awoke , Dak said the baby was " gone " , implying that it was stillborn . A year later , they divorced . Myrmeen left Calimshan and became an adventuring Harper , traveling all over Faerûn , including Evermeet . Myrmeen married Haverstrom Lhal , a cousin of King Azoun IV . They were happy together , much happier than she ever was with Dak , but unfortunately Haverstrom died in an ambush not long after they wed . Two years after his death , King Azoun IV became impressed with her leadership qualities and made her commander of the garrison of Arabel , and eventually ruler of the whole city in 1359 DR . It was an anarchic place , having only recently been ruled by Gondegal , the Usurper King . She restored order to the city and made it a much more prosperous place by organizing the trade routes between Cormyr and the Moonsea and creating a safe haven for caravans . She created jobs and built houses for the poor , earning her the love of the people . The Night Parade . One day , Myrmeen ' s ex - husband Dak appeared all of a sudden to reveal that their baby had not died ; he had sold her to someone . She killed him on the spot in anger and organized a group of Harpers to find her daughter . They discovered that the Night Parade were the cause of Myrmeen ' s nightmares . Around six thousand monsters lived with barely any secrecy in Calimport thanks to one member with incredible hypnotic powers . After coming close to death several times , she found a girl who she believed to be her daughter , and together with one of the monsters ( who turned out to be her " stillborn " sister ) they managed to kill the hypnotic member of the Parade . Once it was dead , the citizens of Calimport rioted , eliminating the majority of the creatures in the city . Myrmeen managed to find her real daughter but upon discovering the wonderful life she led , she decided that she would not let her know her heritage and instead adopted the girl she had previously thought was her daughter , Krystin . Returning to Cormyr . The Goblin War changed Myrmeen ' s new , happy life with her daughter . It was quickly realized that Arabel could not be held , accentuated by the fact that Myrmeen had lost her left arm in the fighting ( she soon had it restored through divine magic ) and the populace was magically transported to Suzail . Arabel became a goblin city for a time but Myrmeen vowed she would retake it . She formed an army of rangers , scouts and mercenaries and forced the monsters out . Unfortunately the humanoids fled into the forests where they became much more difficult to dislodge . She defected from the Harpers to become one of the leading members of Khelben ' s Moonstars but otherwise ruled Arabel with the same benevolence that earned her her popularity in the first place . Seven years after she had her son , she decided to move her household to Suzail to be closer to Krystin and her granddaughter , however she did so at first without leave from the Crown , placing her herald Westar in charge of Arabel until a replacement lord could be found . Family . Myrmeen had three children : The daughter she had with Dak , who had no idea of her heritage ; Krystin , her adopted Calishite daughter , and Ganrahast , a son she conceived with Vangerdahast but who was known at first as Ganrion to hide his father ' s identity . Krystin had a daughter as well — Nalara Marliir — and both Myrmeen and her granddaughter were very close to one another . Game Irregularities . In 2nd edition " AD & D " , Myrmeen Lhal is referred to as a 13th level ranger . She was still listed as 13th level in " After the Dragon " , an article by Ed Greenwood in the Dragon Magazine Annual 2000 and the first mention of Lhal ' s class level under the 3rd edition ruleset . However , in the 3rd edition " Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting " ( printed a year later ) , she is referred to as a 12th level ranger of Tymora . This is one of the few instances where second edition characters have actually gone down in terms of power levels .
