Harpers

This information is intended for use with the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.


At a Glance

The Harpers —at various times called Those Who Harp and the Harpers at Twilight— is an organization of somewhat anarchic intent, directly and violently opposed to the Zhentarim, the Red Wizards, and other individuals and groups which seek to oppress.


Overview

Senior Harpers

There may be additional hidden leaders, but the list of those who direct the Harpers includes Alustriel Silverhand, Belhuar Thantarth, Cylyria Dragonbreast, Dove Falconhand, Elminster, Khelben Arunsun, Laeral Silverhand, Obslin Minstrelwish, and Storm Silverhand.

Harpers

The Harpers are heroes, but some find themselves in the spotlight more than others. Of particular note are Arilyn Moonblade, Artus Cimber, Bran Skorlsun, Brenna Graycloak, Caledan Caldorien, Danilo Thann, Finder Wyvernspur, Galvin, Lander, Mari Al’maren, Mintiper Moonsilver, Myrmeen Lhal, Olive Ruskettle, Sheenra Duth, and Wynter.

Others are quieter in their pursuit of Harper ideals. A partial list follows.

Harper Contacts/Agents/Allies

Contacts are essentially information conduits, while agents might be more active in furthering Harper goals. Individuals of these categories may nor may not be aware that one or some of the people they speak with are Harpers. No two Harper relationships are the same.

Nleera Tarannath is one such contact in Waterdeep. She knows about, and eagerly supports, some Harper goals and actions in Waterdeep. She has posed for seven years (as of 1367 DR) as one of the ghosts at Tespergates, in order to pass information to Harpers and other contacts.

Allies are likewise too numerous to list in full, but some of the more prominent include Mourngrym Amcathra, Qilué Veladorn, Sarghun, The Simbul, Syluné, and Yanseldara.

Most non-evil rulers north of the Lake of Steam and west of the Earthfast Mountains can be assumed to owe the Harpers a favor or three… and most evil rulers within this area should offer a bounty on Harper heads.
