![]() Here are some NPCs (and groups of NPCs) you might look into (some described in Heroes' Lorebook, some not): the Knights of Myth Drannor, the Company of Crazed Venturers, Akabar Bel Akash, Fyodor, Ruha, Danilo Thann, Piergeiron the Paladinson, Tristan and Alicia Kendrick, Adon, Priam Agrivar, Timoth Eyesbright, Vajra Valmeyjar, Janol, Myrmeen Lhal, Ishi Barasume, the list is nearly endless.Ĭertain NPCs have been established in the 4e and 5e lore as having survived-Mirt, Elminster, and Artus Cimber, to name just three-but the fates of many, many others has been an open question for the past thirteen years of real-world time. If one of your goals is to use NPCs that FR fans would recognize, I'd suggest perhaps starting out by grabbing the late-2e sourcebook Heroes' Lorebook, and then looking up on the FR wiki any characters described therein that tickle your fancy. (There are, of course, also NPCs whose fates are not uncertain, including for example those who died prior to the end of 3.5e.) ![]() The Spellplague in 1385 DR and the time skip to 1479 DR for the start of the 4e Realms means that many NPCs detailed in the earlier novels and sourcebooks set in the 1350s, '60s, and '70s can be assumed to have died in the interim if they haven't been mentioned since-or you as DM are free to decide that they survived via one means or another. This is largely because Wizards of the Coast has not established the fates of many FR NPCs from the 1e–3.5e era.Ĭertain NPCs have been established in the 4e and 5e lore as having survived-Mirt, Elminster, and Artus Cimber, to name just three-but the fate of many, many others has been an open question for the past thirteen years of real-world time. So that's where I need your help! Who are some adventurers from Forgotten Realms, who are now dead? A mix of different classes would be ideal, but you can name whoever you can think of!īut your question isn't the easiest to answer, unfortunately. As a truly deadly force, they are held back for only the most covert and dangerous assassinations. They're practically robots, the only thing left is programming to follow the Masked Lords orders. These are their corpses reanimated, with their old powers, to fight for the Masked Lords beyond their mortal life. The catch? They all died, their souls long passed on. This is a really elite team of assassins, made up of the most powerful adventurers of the past. Which has led to my idea (largely inspired by the Talons, again from Batman), or Force Black. Then I realized that the members of these organizations aren't typically higher than level 10 they're simply not strong enough to tackle really powerful adventurers in levels 11-20. Now, at first I thought these Masked Lords would react to new powerful adventurers by hiring a team from say Acq. I'm calling them something like the Masked Lords, or the Masked Court, as a sort of higher-umbrella version of the Masked Lords of Waterdeep. They are more of a reactive instead of proactive faction, who have a network of agents that react to any adventurers that become too powerful and show a willingness and ability to challenge the Lord's Alliance power structure. Although they are more Lawful Neutral than evil, their main goal is to protect their own power first, safety of the cities second. Essentially, these are some of the most wealthy and influential people across the Sword Coast, who are the true engineers of the Lord's Alliance. ![]() ![]() Now, the reason I want this info is I'm working on creating a hidden faction in my campaign, who are much like the Court of Owls from Batman. Preferably died fairly recently, and are not in the old past of Netheril and other dead empires. So I was hoping for some help to learn who some of the greatest heroes of Forgotten Realms are, who are also dead. Hi! So if you don't want to read the blurb below for why I want this, I'll just say that I am running a Forgotten Realms campaign, but haven't read much of its fiction/novels so don't have much deep lore knowledge.
