The Red Sashes

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


At a Glance

A mysterious group apparently active only in Waterdeep.


Appearance

What You See

The main objective of the Red Sashes is to not be seen. This makes them more useful to their clients, but it also serves the aims of The One.

Mannerisms

Activities & Goals

Patron

The Red Sashes act, albeit often unwittingly and contrary to superficial appearances, in the defense of Waterdeep and to further the aims of the Lords.

Alignment
Allies & Enemies

These are gray areas for this group.


Members

Leadership

The Red Sashes are led by someone known even to most members only as The One.

Rank & File
  • Baklin
  • Jurisk Ulhammond
Contacts

Even within the Red Sashes, few members know more than the “street name” of the person they report to. Outsiders have only rumors and hunches to help them guess at who might be a member. There are, however, a handful of people who are thought to have dealings with the Sashes. Sometimes, like in the case of a Lady of the Court, these contacts are surely second or third-hand.

  • Aletha Samprava
  • Jhoysil Samprava
  • Naneatha Lhaurilstar
  • “Red” Hlintas Urtel
  • Surrolph Hlakken
  • Thurve Thentavva

Organizational History

The Red Sashes were founded in 1312 DR as a force of order, outside the law.
