Weeping Friars

The Weeping Friars were an informal group of quasi-ascetics known throughout most of the Savage Frontier. They claimed to believe there to be only a finite amount of pain and suffering in the world. They offered to undergo suffering on a person's behalf in exchange for money or items, usually taking the form of alcohol or trinkets.

Drizzt Do'Urden travelled with the group for a while, acting as a bodyguard and companion. They were the ones who gave him the idea of travelling to Icewind Dale. When the Quickling Tephanis trapped them in a dragon's lair, Drizzt was the one to save them, however once the drow left the group for the Dale, they were tracked down by Roddy McGristle who tortured and killed them all for Drizzt's whereabouts.
