Lyran Nanther

Lyran Nanther was an inhabitant of Melvaunt who was nominated by the Zhentarim agent and Lord of Shadowdale, Jyordhan, to succeed him. Because Jyordhan was killed by Khelben "Blackstaff" Arunsun and was dispossessed of the Pendant of Ashaba, Lyran was left with no claim to the lordship and did not become the new lord.

Lyran made unsuccessful attempts to seize Shadowdale during the rule of Doust Sulwood between 1348 DR and 1353 DR.
