Linene Graywind

Linene Graywind was the leader of the Lionshield Coster trading post in Phandalin in the late 15 century DR.

Description
Graywind traded in a wide variety of supplies, and the Lionshield Coster was the main place to buy finished goods in Phandalin. Linene was also willing to sell arms and armor to anyone she felt would not threaten the village of Phandalin. She also sold horses.

Personality
She was described to be sharp-tongued, but was grateful to anyone that could aid her in times of need. She was a reliable source for gossip.

History
In 1491 DR, Linene expected a large shipment of goods from Yartar, but they never arrived. The caravan transporting the weapons and armor was raided by Cragmaw tribe goblins, and was taken to their base.

She refused to do business with the Redbrands, a local bandit group, and advised adventurers to stay away from the Sleeping Giant, where the ruffians drank.

Following the attacks by the white dragon Cryovain in the surrounding region, Linene hired on Velleen Firecrow as a new assistant and courier. Velleen and her cadre of adoring kobolds turned out to be spies for the evil Cult of Talos.

In 1496 DR, Linene was training her daughter, Minghee, to someday take over the business, which now found itself in stiff competition with the Phandalin Miner's Exchange under the ownership of Sharna Quirstiron. However, Minghee wanted to travel, or to at least find a job that would allow her to do so, which worried Linene.
