A young lady of Cormyrean noble birth
born and bred in Suzail, and where,
utterly bored, she turned to thievery
for amusement. Her doings in Cormyr
were detected and observed by guards·
captains of the city, who reported to
Lord Thomdor. Thomdor had a private
meeting with Shaerl Lhairhavenn,
without informing her noble parents,
and offered something worthwhile and
entertaining for her to do with her life:
go to Shadowdale as an emissary of Corm-
yr, and attempt to ally herself with
Mourngrym, Lord of the Dale; learn all
she could of him and of the dale, spread
something of Cormyr's views and interests
in the area, and report back. The
alternative was, of course, public dis·
grace and imprisonment for her thiev·
ery. Shaerl accepted, but came to Love
Mourngrym, and stayed with him. She
died for him at the hands of devils
fought by Mourngrym and his compan·
ions in the woods near Myth Drannor,
was raised by Mourngrym's funds, and
married him. Shaerl lost 1 child of
her lord's when she was killed; now she
carries another, the future heir of Shadowdale.
Thomdor is well pleased with
Shaerl, and she is welcome in Cormyr.
Her parents know little of her accom-
plishments, but are glad that she is of
the ruling class somewhere, and that
she played some important part in the
service of Azoun; it enhances the family
Name.
