Skullport

(Female human) Alysae is the owner and proprietor of the Hobbled Lamia Festhall in the Lower Port. Originally from somewhere far south of Waterdeep and Skullport, she found her way to the Port of Shadows after a run-in with the Waterdhavian Watch several summers past. Presumably, she is still wanted.

(Male human) Lord Adrian Deepwinter is a minor noble of the City of Waterdeep. Little is known about the reclusive young noble, save that he maintains a magically protected villa in Sea Ward of the city and is rumored to have contacts throughout the city's underworld.

(Female dark elf (drow)) Qilue Veladorn was the youngest of the "Seven Sisters", the Chosen family of Mystra, goddess of magic, and was a drow cleric of Eilistraee as of 1372 DR. She was the high priestess of the Promenade, a powerful secret temple to both goddesses deep beneath Undermountain.

(Female dark elf) Kessra Tanor'thal is the young and ambitious representative of House Tanor'thal of Karsoluthiyl in Skullport. Kesra was the niece and representative of Matron Mother Haelra Tanor'Thal and a dangerous slaver in her own right.

(Female human) Lochlord Gideona is an experienced, powerful southern archmage and the public face of the Keepers, the guild of wizards who assumed control of Skullport's portals and main loch over a century ago.

(Male human) Rand Orlack is the cruel and brutish "Commodore" of the former pirate fleet of Captain Ridley. He is currently deceased.

(Aboleth) The Skum Lord was the primary agent of the Kraken Society in Skullport. It owned almost forty percent of Skullport's buildings and inhabitants. If a person refused or could not pay their monthly rent, the Skum Lord's skum servitors would drag them off to the monster's lair for sinister purposes.

(Male Yuan-ti) Zstulkk, a yuan-ti abomination hailed from Hlondeth, was one of the most prominent slavers in Skullport. He realized the limitation to independent slave trade, so in 1363 DR, he founded—together with fellow slaver and priest of Loviatar, Quinan Varnaed—the Iron Ring Consortium. Zstulkk maintained a cadre of yuan-ti purebloods and half-breeds under him.

(Beholder) Misker the Pirate Tyrant was the vain and bombastic beholder smuggler king in Skullport. His twisted mind held a centuries worth of secrets and he never, ever forgot a slight.
