Jhannas Errlyk

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

At a Glance

A human fighter. He heads a family business dealing in herbs, spices, wines, and poisons. He smuggles small items in his caravans. His illicit deals in Waterdeep are exposed in 1366 DR by former agents who form The Buckleswashers. Lord Errlyk escapes the city but the publicity costs him personal revenue and status within the guild, and destroys his efforts to infiltrate The Knights of the Shield. Consequently he vows to slay Bungobar Talltankard at any cost.

Lord Errlyk is a member of the Shadow Thieves. Following the fiasco in Waterdeep, he’s second-in-command under the Silhouette of Fences, Pirates, and Smugglers in Myratma; it’s unclear if he had a higher rank beforehand.

The Shadow Thieves

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

At a Glance

A criminal organization, born in Waterdeep but exiled and now headquartered in Amn. It is led by the Grandmaster of Shadows, who is (secretly of course) also a member of the Council of Six which governs Amn.

The hierarchy was described in Lands of Intrigue but changed significantly (and probably for the better) in Lords of Darkness. For now, this reflects the 2e organization, with the inclusion of some named individuals from the 3e writeup. It will transition to the 3e hierarchy with the inclusion of named individuals from the 2e writeup. Which just means this page is even more in-progress than others.

The Shade Council, or Shadow Council

Shadowmasters

There are 10 Shadowmasters in Athkatla, 4 in Eshpurta, 2 in Esmeltaran, 2 in Keczulla, 4 in Murann, 4 in Myratma, and 8 in Zazesspur. Riatavin has only one, because she’s just that good.

Silhouettes

  • Harlesk Knowin, Silhouette of Assassins (Caravan Sect)
  • Oryal Forestal, Silhouette of Spies (Athkatla)
  • Rekx Tiller, Silhouette of Bounty Hunters (Riatavin)
