Vellynne the Good Necromancer

Background

Vellynne Harpell is a member of the prestigious Harpell family, based in the town of Longsaddle. Cold and dispassionate, she took to magic only a decade ago in her late forties and is skilled in the arcane tradition of necromancy.

Despite her firm grasp of the dark arts, she would not have been admitted into the Arcane Brotherhood without her family connections—a fact that sticks in her craw.

Vellynne brought a family heirloom with her to Icewind Dale: an old tome that contains her families knowledge of the Netherese society. This tome has knowledge about Netheril that could be important if Vellynne locates the lost Netherese city buried under the Reghed Glacier. The tome was recently stolen by one of the other three wizards in the Arcane Brotherhood on the way to Ten Towns. Vellynne intends to get it back before resuming her quest to find Ythryn.
