Kormallis

The Kormallis family were part of the nobility of Waterdeep in the mid-to-late 14 century DR. They recruited people for mercenary work or other jobs that required adventurer-types. They also had an interest in supplying travel-related gear to folks on the move. Sometime in the darker part of their history, they dabbled in the slave trade.

Organization
Lord Helm Kormallis (nicknamed "The Torturer") was the patriarch of the family from at least the, to at least the. He had no consort in 1372 and technically his heir was his eldest son, Harkas Kormallis, but Harkas was not interested in the title as he had dedicated his life to the service of Tyr. If Harkas renounced the title, it would then fall to Helm's younger brother Pall.

As of the, the seneschal of the estate was secretly a refugee of the Tethyrian Interregnum and his son, Felvor Elcaskur, was a Scion (priest) of Siamorphe.

Base of Operations

House Kormallis was involved in slave trading in the first half of the 13 century DR, before they were ennobled. In the, when over two dozen families were inducted into the nobility, the Lords of Waterdeep required them to renounce slavery as part of the process. When the Kormallis family was elevated to the nobility in the, they publicly declared they had ceased slave trafficking, but did not completely abandon the illegal practice until the.
