Haerun Mhammaster

Haerun Mhammaster (or "Haerund") was a historian and sage of Waterdeep in the mid–14 century DR.

Abilities
His main field of expertise was in history and the culture of demihumans, namely dwarves, elves, gnomes, and halflings, including their art, music, legends, and folklore. He was also knowledgeable in cryptography and the architecture and engineering of dungeons and subterranean constructions.

Description
Greatly aged, he was hunchbacked, shrunken, and wrinkled. He was said to be as dusty as his books.

Activities
Staying always within his library, Haerund didn't seek out clients. Instead, he had friends at the Elfsong Tavern close by who, if they found trustworthy folks in need of his aid, sent them to his door.

Home
He lived in a rowhouse on the Street of Bells in the Castle Ward. His rooms and library were musty and dusty, but contained many pieces of elf-made statuary.

Relations
Johanna Kherrispehril was his apprentice for a time some time prior to 1368 DR.
