Blep Sakrun

The Human adventurer **Blep Sakrun** was born in Neverwinter in 2781 to a small wealthy family who owned a plot of land on Neverwinter River. He was a spoiled child, and his expectations grew to be that every command he gave needed to be obeyed. He became a minor adventurer travelling Lathaan, and made a bad reputation for himself. Blep is most well known in association with Bolsh Thornson and Lyllon's fall into ruin.

## Appearance and Personality

Those who met Blep often described him as average in appearance: his medium-length dark hair and grey eyes blended easily into a crowd of other Humans. He wore leather armor dyed the colors of his house, red and brown, under a black traveller's cloak along with a jewel-encrusted scabbard for his longsword.

Blep fit the mold of a stereotypical spoiled rich child: he was arrogant and thought of everyone of a lower social status as his servants.

## Magic and Abilities

Blep was trained in a variety of weapons, carrying a longsword, a handaxe, and a light crossbow with him on his travels. He was specially trained in duelling, and he boasted much of his skill, despite it never being proven in official records. While not possessing any magic abilities himself, he was gifted a *ring of jumping* and a *decanter of water* by his family before he left home.

## History

### Early Life

Blep Sakrun was born in 2781 to the Sakrun family in Neverwinter and raised in the family's manor on Neverwinter River. Blep had two personal servants who accompanied him when he went to his school in the city or made trips of any kind, always prepared to serve him meals or carry his things. He often visited his friends in Neverwinter, where they would run off in search of younger children to bully. Once he was fourteen years old, he demanded that he learn how to use a sword, and began training under a local swordmaster by the name of Edvoth Dovun, a retired soldier of the Sword of the Coast. Over the course of six years, Blep became proficient in using many different types of weapons, and deemed himself worthy of becoming an adventurer.

### Adventuring Career

Equipped with multiple weapons and sufficient gear, Blep set out across Lathaan. He initially headed out of Neverwinter and towards Phandalin, hoping to get into Wave Echo Cave and see the Forge of Spells for himself. Although frustrated that he wasn't allowed in, he took a few quests from the city's people. He spent the next season hunting small packs of orcs and goblins from the Tribe of Talos and earned much gold for it, yet he still wasn't satisfied. He left Phandalin and travelled to Leilon, Thundertree, and even visited the ruins of Conyberry, searching for a claim to fame. Eventually, he heard of the small, developing town Lyllon in Thurron, and decided that it would be the best place to grow his reputation.

### The Great Transformation

In the year of 2799, when Blep was 21 years old, he arrived in Lyllon, unaware of the destruction he would bring to the town. He antagonised the small town's populace, attempting to order them around and threatening to fight back when his demands were ignored. Although no one in Lyllon liked the adventurer, few actually stood up to him, many believing he would be on his way out of town soon. However, Blep stayed for at least three weeks, and during that time the people refused his orders.

Bolsh Thornson was among the few who stood up against Blep, although he tried to stay out of taking too direct of opposition. Blep's anger at the people for not listening to him grew to the point where he got physically violent. After being refused when demanding a bystander buy a drink for him at the tavern *The Ancient Fire*, Blep ran the man through with his longsword, leaving him to bleed out and die. Bolsh called out Blep, who challenged the young Dragonborn to a duel. Bolsh's anger grew until he snapped, and his dormant magic flooded out in an enormous burst of power. The wild magic let loose the spell *polymorph* in a ripple effect, hitting the entire population of Lyllon and magically transforming them into sheep. Now afraid, Blep fled for his life.

Supposedly, Bolsh apprehended the fleeing adventurer by throwing a transformed rival of his at the man, killing Blep. He then apparently kicked the rival into a brick wall, killing him as well. Bolsh's story may not be entirely accurate, as he was prone to exaggerating retellings of his past. Either way, Blep Sakrun somehow vanished, and Bolsh left Lyllon soon after.
