History
The family traveled from Cormyr to Waterdeep in 1310 DR to seek further wealth and prosperity with the Adarbrent Shipping Company. Finding immediate success, they quickly improved their station in life, joining Waterdeep's nobility in.

Lady Adarbrent gave birth to her third son, Ellis in. Some time later she passed away. Lord Royus never stopped mourning her death.

In the spring of, the impulsive and adventurous Syllia eloped to New Waterdeep with her lover, and fellow Harper, Farid al-Nisr. Lord Royus and her brothers didn't respond well to the news.

While some of Royus's brothers in House Adarbrent became rich from the cross-sea trade with New Waterdeep on the continent of Maztica, the Deepwater War left the family financially unsure. Following these developments, Lord Royus began to explore borrowing gold, at a very low interest rate, from Fahd yn Sarsor al-Nisr, Syllia's father-in-law. Unbeknownst to anyone in House Adarbrent, the senior Al-Nisr was Yrshelem within the Rundeen, who sought to takeover the financial holdings of the Waterdhavian family.
