This diplomatic, urbane man of sometimes
barbed wit (18 Intelligence, and
18 Wisdom) was born in Sembia,
orphaned there in a fire in the city of
Yhaunn, spent his youth with traveling
priests of Gond, and rose in their order
as the years passed to eventually
become High Priest of the foremost
temple of Gond in all the Inner Sea
lands--the temple he founded in Tilverton.
For over a score of winters Gharri
ruled Tilverton in fact, if not in title,
making it a center of innovation and the
manufacture of small but useful items,
toothed gears, for example, and intricate
locks and hinges.
Cormyr occupied the Tilver's Gap
area recently, a move not openly
opposed by Gharri, who considered it
necessary to prevent Tilverton being
overrun by orcs, the troops of Zhentil
Keep, or the expanding empire of
Lashan of Scardale, all of whom wanted
the strategic location and wealth of
Tilver's Gap. Gharri was made Lord
Regent, an empty title considering that
the Cormyrean military commander
would and did make all decisions of
consequence. After some months,
Gharri quietly vanished, coming to the
tiny, ostensibly-ruined fortress of Cas-
tle Krag. Krag was a former bandit-hold
in the woods of Shadowdale, long abandoned,
but recently used secretly by
the Zhentarim and subsequently by the
Lord of Shadowdale. From there,
Gharri quietly got on with the business
of running the local priesthood of Gond
(which included a very good group of
spies reporting all news to him), until
he
made a trip to Daggerdale to aid the
Lord of that Place, Randal Morn, and
was destroyed in a titanic magical battle
near Serpentsbridge by 12 mages
of the Zhentarim. Gharri's reputed
caches of magical and mechanical wonders,
and vast personal wealth in bar
and coin, have not yet been recovered,
nor is his passing known to most of the
Realms.
