Amedahast

Amedahast was a female human, and a descendant of Baerauble Etharr and Alea Dahast. She was the successor of Baerauble in the position of High Wizard of Cormyr.

Appearance
Amedahast was thin with reddish blonde hair worn in a braid to halfway down her back. She had a slight fey look to her face. By 629 DR, Amedahast's hair was still long, but it had turned silver.

Relatives
Amedahast was descended from Baerauble Etharr and Alea Dahast, a relationship between a human and an elf, but due to many years of human breeding, she was completely human. Her nephew was Thanderahast.

Background
Amedahast was summoned personally by Baerauble Etharr from her home in Myth Drannor to study in Suzail to become his successor. In 376 DR, she met Prince Azoun I who offered to tutor her in her studies concerning Cormyr. They met each day for a month, during which time Amedahast fell for Azoun, but was crushed when she discovered him with another woman.

Amedahast liked cats, and introduced them to Suzail after a plague in Marsember. She kept around a dozen in her chambers.

Amedahast created the longsword Orbyn, one of the Cormyrean Swords of State, for King Duar.

Death
In 629 DR, Amedahast blew herself up in a Suzail townhouse, by breaking her staff and unleashing the magic within it, killing the traitorous Luthax and his conspirators in the plot against the Crown.
