Burruld

Cloud Castle
The citizens of Waterdeep notice a cloud castle floating over the city and raise the alarm. Vajra Safahr, the Blackstaff, gains entry into the cloud castle but finds only mist and shadows. The Lady Mage of Waterdeep shouts a warning to the inhabitants of the cloud castle to depart or be destroyed.

The new Open Lord of Waterdeep
The Open Lord of Waterdeep, Laeral Silverhand, tries a more peaceful path than Vajra and seeks to parlay with the cloud giants. This diplomatic move proves successful and the Open Lord of Waterdeep is introduced to Burruld, master of the cloud castle.

Burruld tells Laeral that he is only following the commands of King Skyvald and asks Laeral Silverhand if any captive Storm Giantesses are in Waterdeep, disguised or otherwise. Burruld is looking for King Skyvald’s daughter, Princess Irie, and is obeying the Storm King’s direct orders.

Foreshadowing the "Storm King's Thunder"
The Open Lord promises to look for Irie and is offered a map of the city once Burruld’s family finishes their calculations and drawings of Waterdeep. Laeral Silverhand asks Burruld if he has information related to the Giant-manned ship which is ramming and sinking merchant ships but the cloud giant is unable to help the Lady Silverhand. Burruld assures the Open Lord that this cloud castle has no hostile intentions towards Waterdeep and Laeral leaves on peaceful and positive terms with Burruld after a blood handshake.
