Alcedor Kolat was a powerful mage who lived in Waterdeep.

Description
In the Year of the Shield, 1367 DR,

Personality
Of the two brothers Alcedor was the less social one. He spent mosth of his time crafting magical items and researching Netherese magic, especially wands and staves.

Possessions
Alcedor crafted many of his own magic items. Among them were the Amulet & Staff of Alcedor, a ring of chain armor, a ring of spell storing, a ring of spell turning, and a helm of comprehending languages & reading magic.He also acquired a drained Netherese blast scepter from Halaster during a visit to Undermountain.

Relationships
His apprentice wasBranta Myntion. Other people he counted as friends were Madame Garah, Malchor Harpell, Hedrik, Quallos Myntion, Nain.

Alcedor had no one he truly counted as his foe, however Lady Thyri Snome irritated both he and his brother due to her persistent demands.

He and his brother Duhlark were still close but had drifted apart from their adventuring days. They argued frequently over the nature of ancient (mostly Netherese) artifacts and lived in separate towers on the same property.

History
Alcedor and Duhlark were born to a pair of merchants in Sulmeth as identical twin brothers. Alcedor appeared much older than his brother however, due to the toll that creating magical items took on his body. The two were trained in Llorbauth's Mystics' Academy before joining an adventuring party calling themselves Mystra's Defenders. Years later, while in the Border Kingdoms, the Defenders were transported to the Maze Level of Undermountain but managed to escape back to the surface where they continued their careers for a while in the Savage Frontier. On Marpenoth 15 of 1358 DR, they re-entered Waterdeep, only to find it under attack from the undead forces of Myrkul, whereupon they immediately joined in the defense of the city.

After things settled down again, so did the Kolats, pooling their riches to purchase property in the Adventurer's Quarter of South Ward where they built Kolat Towers. Alcedor made and sold many unique and/or specialized magic items

After thieves broke in and stole several magic items and scrolls, Duhlark became increasing paranoid so he encased Kolat Towers in an invisible force field to prevent further intrusions. Over time however, Durhlark began to suspect his brother of selling their secrets, further driving the brothers apart. Eventually Alcedor left Waterdeep and hasn't been heard from since.
