Watchful Order of Magists and Protectors

The **Watchful Order of Magists and Protectors** is a group in the *Forgotten Realms Campaign* of Nat19. They are a peacekeeping force consisting of magically-inclined individuals within the city of Waterdeep, and are often called in to investigate or otherwise deal with crimes concerning more magical elements.

## Role in Plot

The Watchful Order of Magists and Protectors originally investigated the explosion that took place outside the Obsidian Hall. They collected information from both the Dragon Heist Party and the nearby townspeople about the incident, and shared a degree of what they knew with the former.

The Watchful Order later questioned Kyra Volcora after the Dragon Heist Party's confrontation with Torrin and Dazzan Ghesh, during which O'bahd Baxter, Alyf, and Krusk Bensly lost their lives. They inquired about the cause of the incident, the events as they unfolded, and whether she knew about a magical stone that was of interest to local criminal factions. While Kyra had the stone in her possession at the time, she lied and stated she had never heard of it. Seemingly believing her story, they sent the bodies of her friends and Krusk off to the Hospice of Saint Laupsenn at her request so that they could be resurrected.
Napaka

**Queen Napaka** is a posthumous character in the *Tomb of Annihilation Campaign* of Nat19. She was the queen of Omu prior to its destruction at the hands of Acererak.

## History

Napaka was queen of Omu when Acererak arrived. She offered her life to him in an attempt to persuade him to spare her city. Acererak was amused by her proposal, though he did not spare Omu. After the Tomb of the Nine Gods was constructed, Acererak had her entombed within it, and named its stone juggernaut after her.
Urstul Floxin

**Urstul Floxin** is a character in the *Forgotten Realms Campaign* of Nat19. He is a member of the Zhentarim. As an NPC, he is portrayed by *Aaron Robert Parnell*.

## Personality

Urstul Floxin is a ruthless scoundrel. He is also vengeful, as he was shown threatening to return to kill Yalah Gralhund after he didn't get what he wanted from her.

## Role in Plot

Urstul was first mentioned by Hyustus Staget. He was noted as a prominent criminal the Waterdeep City Watch had been after for some time.

Urstul would not physically appear until later during the Dragon Heist Party's infiltration of Gralhund Villa. He held Orond Gralhund hostage as the Dragon Heist Party interrogated Yalah about the mass murder outside the Obsidian Hall. He demanded to know where the Stone of Golorr was as he held a knife to Orond's throat.

Having to choose between siding with Yalah and siding with Urstul, the Dragon Heist Party chose Yalah. They attacked Urstul, which led the Zhent to kill Orond and flee the villa. Although Hrabbaz, Kyra, and Torrin dealt some damage to him as he ran, he managed to escape on a magically-enhanced horse.

## Relationships & Affiliations

### Zhentarim

Urstul is a member of the Zhentarim, and apparently commands lower-ranked members of the organization.

## Role in Plot

Sleipmon first appeared to Isaac Humbleson as he and the other Emblem Bearers were traversing the Radio Station. A fight broke out in which Paige Humbleson was about to be captured, and in that moment, after having witnessed his little sister be put in harm's way over and over, Isaac had a vision. In this vision, Sleipmon entrusted him with an Emblem that allowed him to digivolve Elecmon into Aegiomon, and rescue his sister.

Sleipmon appeared to Isaac yet again as the latter was faced with a difficult decision. Kaye Walters had provided Isaac a choice: kill AeroVeeDramon, Aegiomon's close friend, to free the other Emblem Bearers and their Partner Digimon, or give her the Emblem he had received from Sleipmon, and have all hostilities toward them and AeroVeeDramon cease. Unsure of what to do, Isaac had another vision, in which Sleipmon wondered if the responsibility of the Emblem was too much for Isaac, and asked him what he would do. After Isaac found the confidence he needed to move forward, Sleipmon bequeathed unto him the power of Emblem Digivolution, thus empowering Aegiomon greatly. He once again requested Isaac find him in the Digital World, and stated that he seems like someone he would've liked to have been paired with. He also said that if Isaac ever gave up or stopped moving forward, he would lose the Royal Knight's support.

## Relationships & Affiliations

### Isaac Humbleson

In Isaac's vision, Sleipmon trusted him with an emblem that allowed him to digivolve Elecmon. He spoke to Isaac about the nature of power, and requested that he come find him in the Digital World, so that his watch may end.
Yaka

**Yaka** was a character in the *Tomb of Annihilation Campaign* of Nat19. He was a talking, golden skull who once dwelled within the Tomb of the Nine Gods and told terrible jokes. As an NPC, he was portrayed by *Spencer Downs*.

## Role in Plot

Yaka was discovered by Ivellios whilst the Tomb Party was exploring the Tomb of the Nine Gods. Upon being touched by him, Yaka began to float and follow Ivellios, all the while telling horrible jokes and failing to remember the details of said jokes. When warned of the dangers of following the Tomb Party, Yaka seemed unperturbed and continued telling his jokes. Valosi quickly grew tired of Yaka's ramblings and cast Dispel Magic on him, rendering him inert.
Tyar-Besil

**Tyar-Besil** is an underground, dwarven ziggurat/citadel in the *Forgotten Realms Campaign* of Nat19. It is located beneath the Dessarin Valley, and is the base of operations for the Howling Hatred cult. Its current name is up for debate as Aerisi Kalinoth, the air cult's leader, wishes to change it to better reflect her organization's goals.

## Role in Plot

Tyar-Besil's first appearance was when Krusk was taken there by Aerisi Kalinoth and her underlings. It was where she revealed to Krusk his supposed previous involvement with the cult, and his apparent memory loss regarding it. He was set up in his own room with attendants tending to his needs.

The next day, the rest of the Apocalypse Party infiltrated Tyar-Besil in search of Krusk and quickly managed to locate him via the magical efforts of Reagan and Kyra. The party carved their way through the Howling Hatred's members and eventually made their way beneath the temple to confront Aerisi and her minstrel Windharrow, emerging victorious from the ensuing battle.

After joining forces with Eurybia Maelstrom and Oz, the Apocalypse Party ventured back into Tyar-Besil to investigate a vision Reagan saw of a group of Howling Hatred cultists preparing a small orb. While there the party fought a pair of demons presumably belonging to the cult, and met with a djinni named Ahtayir who offered them a wish. After deciding to use the wish to ambush another elemental cult leader, they rested to regain their lost resources. Upon awakening they were met with none other than the same cult leader they intended to ambush: Gar Shatterkeel.

Gar attempted to make a deal with the Apocalypse Party, and as a show of good faith informed them that the remnants of the Howling Hatred were on their way to Red Larch to kill Reagan's father. He told them of his plan to rule a new world alongside the archomental Olhydra, and that they could find a place in this new world as well. When Casper tried to use his wish from Ahtayir to teleport the remaining Howling Hatred cultists to the room the Apocalypse Party was in, the djinni attempted to grant it, but was interrupted by the arrival of Yan-C-Bin, an air archomental who was reportedly rather upset with Ahtayir. The two air elemental beings quickly disappeared, and Casper initiated combat with Gar. After a brief assault in which Gar made no aggressive moves, he was seemingly killed. However, the Apocalypse Party remained unsure if this was the true Gar or simply a clone.

## Notable People

 **Windharrow** † | NPC | Aerisi Kalinoth's minstrel.
Wizard of Wines Winery

The **Wizard of Wines Winery** was a location in the *Forgotten Realms Campaign* of Nat19. It was a winery south of Krezk in the country of Barovia. Before its destruction at the hands of Barovia's druids, it was run by the Keepers of the Feather.

## Role in Plot

The Wizards of Wine Winery was referenced early on in the Curse of Strahd Party's adventures when Jolyne overheard a conversation about the Martikovs' missing wine shipments. They later discussed rectifying the issue with the Martikovs, and they seemed amenable to the proposal.

After the incident at the Church of Saint Andral, however, the Curse of Strahd Party shifted their full attention to finding ways to kill Strahd von Zarovich, and away from dealing with the wine shipments. Meanwhile, the winery came under siege from druids and their twig blights and was overrun, pushing the surviving Keepers of the Feather out.

Eventually, the Curse of Strahd Party arrived to investigate the winery, and found many of the Keepers beaten and bloodied. Davian Martikov, embittered by their late arrival though still willing to accept their aid, explained the situation. The Curse of Strahd Party and the Keepers of the Feather then worked together to rid the winery of all hostiles, including the massive, tree-like creature, Wintersplinter.
Zagmira

**Zagmira** was a character in the *Tomb of Annihilation Campaign* of Nat19. She was a member of the Red Wizards of Thay, and made a temporary alliance with the party in order to find the Soulmonger. As an NPC, he is portrayed by *Spencer Downs*.

## Personality

Zagmira is a manipulative woman, fully willing to send a group of adventurers into a dangerous location with no backup. She feigned cooperativeness and sincerity in order to achieve her goals.

## Role in Plot

Zagmira and her group of Red Wizards first appeared before the Tomb Party in Omu. She inquired as to whether they possessed the Omuan puzzle cubes necessary to enter the Tomb of the Nine Gods, and once they confirmed they had eight of the nine, she told them of the final cube's location. She sent them into the Fane of the Night Serpent to locate it, and after a few days they emerged, though the makeup of the party had changed significantly.

Zagmira offered fake sympathy for their many losses, and asked for the puzzle cubes. Gleyn lied to her, saying that while they did have all the cubes, he had hidden them nearby. He offered to retrieve them if Zagmira and the Red Wizards agreed to cooperate with them inside the Tomb of the Nine Gods. Zagmira grew hostile, claiming they could easily defeat the adventurers and find the cubes. However, they were swiftly eliminated without having harmed the party once.

## Relationships & Affiliations

### Red Wizards of Thay

Zagmira is a member of the Red Wizards, and is willing to perform a number of morally unjust acts to follow their orders.

## Personality

Valetta is a welcoming and courteous woman. She can also be seen as something of a scolding maternal figure to those under her charge, such as the nimblewright Nim.

## Role in Plot

Valetta greeted the Dragon Heist Party as they entered the House of Inspired Hands. She cooperated with them in their investigation of the incident outside the Obsidian Hall, involving a nimblewright setting off a fireball and killing numerous people.

When asked about the nimblewright that had just sent a mechanical bird their way outside the temple, Valetta led them to an upper floor and introduced them to the very same nimblewright: Nim. She translated for Nim as the Dragon Heist Party asked it questions. This interrogation led to the revelation that Nim had created an unregistered nimblewright out of loneliness, and that nimblewright was likely the culprit. As a result of this, Valetta confiscated Nim's tools.

To assist the Dragon Heist Party's investigation, Valetta and Nim allowed them to take the Nimblewright Detector the latter had built in order to find the rogue nimblewright.

## Relationships & Affiliations

### Nim

Valetta acts as a sort of caretaker for Nim and the other nimblewrights at the House of Inspired Hands. She can understand it, and translate its intentions/thoughts to others.

## Role in Plot

Ranaer was rescued from a Zhentarim hideout in Waterdeep by the Dragon Heist Party. He had been kidnapped by them so they could learn about the Stone of Golorr, as well as the large sum of money his father Dagult had once embezzled.

Ranaer accompanied the Dragon Heist Party in their quest to locate Floon Blagmaar, as the man was a drinking buddy of his. Upon finding Floon, they were met with the half-orc wizard Grum'shar, a mind flayer, and an intellect devourer. The fight nearly resulted in the deaths of the entire Dragon Heist Party, but thanks to Ranaer they managed to emerge victorious, though the mind flayer ended up escaping.

Ranaer later accompanied Floon and the Dragon Heist Party to meet with Volothamp Geddarm, who had hired the party to locate Floon in the first place.

A number of days later, Ranaer would recommend Kyra Volcora as a potential Harper candidate to Mirt. Mirt contacted Kyra and offered her a position with them, and she accepted.

After the mass murder that took place outside the Obsidian Hall, the gnome who had been caught in the Fireball explosion was revealed to have been seeking them out. Through his Zhentarim contacts, O'bahd Baxter managed to learn that the gnome was entrusted the Stone of Golorr by Ranaer, and tasked with delivering it to the Dragon Heist Party for safekeeping.

## Role in Plot

While the Curse of Strahd Party explored the crypts of Castle Ravenloft, they discovered the crypt of Saint Markovia. Upon entering, her spirit appeared to them, and asked who among them they would like her to heal. The entire group immediately turned to Devin, who had accepted a Dark Gift to revive Hadrick that had turned her appearance into that of an undead.

Markovia imbued Devin with divine magic, returning her to her normal drow physique. She also granted Devin a magical bow made of powdered bone, as well as two Arrows of Undead Slaying to use against Strahd von Zarovich. She then disappeared, and was not heard from again.

## Abilities

As a spirit, Markovia displayed abilities beyond those of a typical ghost. She possessed seemingly divine powers that allowed her to heal even the damage done by Dark Gifts from the Amber Temple, which had previously been known to be incurable by anything short of a Wish spell.

She received the nickname "Vaclonesi" from the first clone of Valosi. As an NPC, she is portrayed by *Spencer Downs*.

## Personality

## History

Vaclonesi was created by the Sewn Sisters as a means to keep an eye on the Tomb Party's activities within the Tomb of the Nine Gods. She was kept inside a cage in their lab until the Tomb Party found her.

## Role in Plot

Vault of Dragons

The **Vault of Dragons** is a location in the *Forgotten Realms Campaign* of Nat19. It is a secret vault beneath the Pink Flumph theater which contains untold amounts of gold, all embezzled by the previous Open Lord of Waterdeep, Dagult Neverember.

## History

At some point in the past, Dagult Neverember hid his embezzled funds in this vault and fled to Neverwinter. Barok Clanghammer, an acquaintance of Dagult's, was tasked with protecting this gold.

## Role in Plot

The Vault of Dragons has been the objective of multiple organizations and groups in the city of Waterdeep, namely the Xanathar's Thieves' Guild and the Dragon Heist Party, and later a small branch of the Zhentarim. In order to reach it, these factions vied for possession of the Stone of Golorr, a magical stone within which lies the soul of a knowledgeable entity known as Golorr. The Dragon Heist Party was the group to obtain the stone in the end, however, and Golorr taught them the location of the vault and the keys needed to enter it.

After obtaining the necessary keys, the Dragon Heist Party made their way into the vault, along with two Zhentarim members Yagra and Rickard, as well the faerie dragon known as Wishes who threatened to report their activities to the city guard if he wasn't given 5000 gold from the vault. While in the vault they encountered various traps, but they eventually found their way to the treasure trove, where they met its protector: Barok Clanghammer.

After speaking with Barok a while about the gold and Dagult Neverember's supposed ownership of it, they reached an agreement. The Dragon Heist Party would retrieve Ranaer Neverember, Dagult's son, and have him corroborate the party's claims that the money should be given to them.

The party rested for a while, after which they headed topside to retrieve Ranaer. While in the theater above the vault, they engaged in a large-scale fight between the Zhentarim, Xanathar's Guild, and the Harpers. After this fight was concluded, Krusk, Baxter, Tashlyn, and Ranaer reentered the vault. Tashlyn recovered roughly 25,000 gold, while the Dragon Heist Party members collected 100,000 to split amongst the four of them. An amount of gold was used to pay off the Dragon Heist Party's debts, and the rest was returned to the city of Waterdeep, with Ranaer claiming that was all that was inside the vault when they found it.
Suicide Squawk

The **Suicide Squawk** is an adventuring party in the *Vestige of Ophiuchus* continuity of Nat19. While not an official adventuring guild, they are a group of individuals that were hired by High Lord Morrian Hallo to seek out and rescue Edregan Bermont from The Family and Tenebros' forces.

## Role in Plot

The Suicide Squawk first met in Summergrass at the first warehouse the Amberwick Company ever owned, which is where they were hired by Morrian Hallo to rescue Edregan Bermont from Dianne Cansslaegr and Tenebros' forces. Their mission was to be completed in absolute secrecy. It had to be done before the next morning, and they had to fake Edregan's death using the corpse of a roughly similar half-elf, with no one knowing of his survival.

After receiving their mission, the group ventured to Edregan's last known location: another Amberwick warehouse just outside of Summergrass. They found their way into a secret hatch just outside the warehouse, and once they were inside they were attacked by mechanical hounds, as well as a large, clockwork tiger. They also found two low-ranking members of The Family, one of whom they interrogated to learn Edregan's current location: a fort called Camp Drakewild.

The Suicide Squawk immediately traveled to Camp Drakewild, where they found Edregan being held captive by red abishai and ogres. After dealing with them and mutilating the half-elven corpse to fake Edregan's death, as well as narrowly avoiding a confrontation with Stradivarius, the group discreetly returned to Summergrass with Edregan.

Their mission complete, the Suicide Squawk decided to celebrate by throwing a party at Briar's shop.

Later, during Vestias' ritual to destroy Summergrass, the Suicide Squawk members remained unaffected for various reasons. They joined forces with the Highest Standard to stop the ritual and defeat Tenebros. After things in the city calmed down, they each returned to their lives.

## Relationships & Affiliations

### Morrian Hallo

Morrian was instrumental in the formation of the Suicide Squawk, and many of its members view him positively.

### Briar

Ohmar and Briar knew each other prior to the Suicide Squawk's formation, and since the completion of their mission, the other members are now acquainted with him as well.

## Members

**Avianna Kolesh** (Active)**Elma** (Active)**Fujibayashi Hanzo** (Active)**Ohmar Lawson** (Active)**Sister Valdis** (Active)
## Trivia

* Their group name is a parody of the antihero team from DC Comics, the "Suicide Squad." The "squawk" in the name stems from the fact that most of the group's members have avian qualities, such as Avianna and Elma's wings, Ohmar's feathers and limited flight, and Hanzo's Eidolic Arm that allows him to sprout crystalized wings and fly.
	+ Sister Valdis is the only member not to exhibit any avian traits, leading the group to occasionally be referred to as "Sister and the Suicide Squawk."

* A creature can use an action to crush the Vital Star, releasing its contents and healing a creature within 15 feet. Alternatively, it can be used by its holder to heal themselves as a bonus action. A creature who is unwilling to be healed can attempt a DC 12 Charisma saving throw to resist, receiving no healing on a success while the Vital Star is still wasted.
* Vital Stars come in multiple variations, each healing by a different amount. These variations are as follows:
	+ **Vital Star S**: Restores 2d4+2 hit points to the target.
	+ **Vital Star M**: Restores 4d4+4 hit points to the target.

Tiamat (Vestige)

**Tiamat** is a deity in the *Vestige of Ophiuchus* continuity of Nat19. She is the dragon goddess of greed and the queen of chromatic dragons.

## History

Long ago, Tiamat split her body and soul into five lesser archfiends, known as the Talons of Azharul, and manifested them in the material plane. She did this in an attempt to escape Avernus, the first of the Nine Hells, by having the archfiends penetrate the barrier between worlds and hopefully reform in the material plane.

This attempt failed, however, due to the eidolons' interference. They stripped the Talons of Azharul of Tiamat's divine essence and sealed it away. Over time, the Talons each gained individuality, and became decreasingly cooperative with one another in regaining their divinity.

Vilnius

**Vilnius** was a character in the *Forgotten Realms Campaign* of Nat19. He lived in the Amber Temple for a lengthy period of time before meeting the party. As an NPC, he was portrayed by *Aaron Robert Parnell*.

 Personality

Vilnius was a quiet and self-centered individual. He was willing to allow others to put themselves in harm's way for him, and only aided them in a minor capacity so as to protect himself from danger.

When he picked up his master's staff, his attitude changed somewhat. He was much more curt, and completely disinterested in the plight of those seeking his aid.

## History

Vilnius and his teacher Jakarion once traveled to the Amber Temple in the land of Barovia. Unfortunately, Jakarion lost his life, and Vilnius holed himself up in the temple's lecture hall.

## Role in Plot

Vilnius was first seen when the Curse of Strahd Party entered a lecture hall in the Amber Temple. He did not initially trust the party, nor did they fully trust him. However, after learning of his situation and his desire to retrieve his former master's belongings, they agreed to help him so long as he helped them.

The group then traversed the Amber Temple, and after fighting off some flaming skulls and barbarians, managed to locate Jakarion's body and his staff. Vilnius quickly grabbed the staff, and immediately after his eyes glazed over. He began to leave with little ceremony. When Ashley attempted to speak with him to request his aid in transforming into a girl, he adamantly refused to help her. He then left the Amber Temple and began to make his way back down Mount Ghakis.

As the Curse of Strahd Party left the Amber Temple, Vilnius' body was found, along with Jakarion's staff. Believing the staff to potentially be cursed, Hadrick, Jolyne, and Kasimir carefully brought it down the mountain. It was eventually identified via magic, and revealed to be a Staff of Frost, though it was not cursed in any way.

## Relationships & Affiliations

### Jakarion

Jakarion was Vilnius' mentor, and the two seemed to travel together for a time.

## Role in Plot

Madam Eva was at the Tser Pool Encampment when the Curse of Strahd Party arrived there. They sought the seer for answers of how to return to their home, and she offered them a series of fortunes. She told them of treasures, potential allies, and even a way to find Strahd if they so desired.

Madam Eva would later be visited by the Curse of Strahd Party again after their adventures in the Amber Temple. Devin, Graiar, and Monty came to her with the recently deceased Ashley at Alexei's recommendation. With her help, they were able to resurrect Ashley.

Later, after returning from Krezk, the party once again spoke to Madam Eva, this time about Ashley's past, as well as the location of Ezmerelda d'Avenir.

Graiar would eventually seek Madam Eva's knowledge in order to locate the rest of his party after being separated from them in Castle Ravenloft.

After the defeat of Strahd, Hadrick and Monty visited Madam Eva one last time, both to thank her for her guidance and ask if she would do next. She told them she would stay in Barovia, as she had always been there.
