An adventuring mage who may be contacted
through the staff of The Elfstone Tavern
(The Street of the Sword, Castle Ward),
Dagasumn was born in Port Llast and was
briefly apprenticed to Malchor Harpell (q.v.)
at the latter?s Tower of Twilight near
Neverwinter. Dagasumn soon came to
Waterdeep to make his fortune, casting
spells and tutoring lesser magic users for
fees. He is always dispassionately considering
and attempting ways of gaining magical
knowledge and power (i.e., magical items)
and gold with a minimum of risk. He hires
bodyguards for meetings with numerous
potential clients, and never goes adventuring
when he can stay safely in the City and
cast spells in the comparative safety of The
City of the Dead (where careful timing
between Guard patrols, and careful choice
of location, will ensure the fewest possible
witnesses) for adventurers who come to
him with gold (notably identify, detect evil,
locate object, and strength). Dagasumn will
keep strictly to the letter of any agreement
he makes with anyone, but is loyal only to
himself.
