History
In 1361 DR, Vestress served as the nominal Regent of Ascarle, claiming to rule on behalf of a kraken. Vestress was a rogue illithid who had taken the city from hands of a drow banshee, whom she banished to Inthar on Ruathym via a portal. She desired to conquer Ruathym, but the banshee made that impossible, so she plotted to have the banshee destroyed by Liriel Baenre. Under the Kraken Society, she also allied with Rethnor of Luskan and Shakti Hunzrin as part of a plot to turn the Lords' Alliance and Waterdeep into war with Ruathym. However, all of these plans were discovered by Liriel, who led an assault on the city, deposed Vestress, and released the illithid's captives.
