Daskore Wolfsbane

Daskore Wolfsbane is the steward and court mage of Ironhearth Hall in Eriabourne. He is sworn to the service of King Keldar Windbeard.
== History and Personality ==
Daskore has not been forthcoming with his past, but has gruffly referenced a life of adventure in the Grey Marches as well as studying at Calenhad with the High Circle. Daskore later visited the Ruby Reaches and requested a position amongst Wuldor's court, citing his runic knowledge and alchemical prowess as a qualifier. Prince Keldar, only a child at the time, was fascinated with the other dwarf's contraptions and asked him to stay, and Archbishop Volinda Duffheim sent a message to Wuldor at his army camp requesting the wizard be allowed to stay on. Wuldor accepted without complaint, and Daskore became the court wizard - and later steward - of Ironhearth Hall. He took on the future queen Dagny Duffheim as an apprentice and raised her with a competent grasp of magic.
Daskore is gruff, self-interested and brusque, but he is also honourable and driven by reason. 
== Skills and Powers ==
Little is known of Daskore's powers, save that he has a keen interest in the Underdark below Eriabourne and has knowledge of runes, alchemy and portals. He's also a proficient mage with several offensive and utility based spells.
== In the Campaign ==
Daskore was first met by the Bloodsworn at Ironhearth Hall, where he was initially ambivalent to their presence and saw them only as a minor distraction. Once he became aware of the illithid threat, he was keen to prove his innocence and was among the alliance which was found to be free of psionic influence. He used his magic to empower his allies as they overpowered the King's family.
Once the threat of Oobastis had passed, but the Bloodsworn were set to venture into the Underdark to rescue Queen Dagny, Wolfsbane approached the party and requested that they search for a "Lodestone," (sometimes called a portal stone or resonance stone) for his studies. 
They did in fact procure such a stone from the spiderfolk slaver Tirix, but they wished to use this for their own purposes and explained to Wolfsbane as much. Disappointed, Daskore offered them their reward in advance for the lodestone, but they declined, advising that they could not promise he would have his stone within the six months.
