Sildar Hallwinter

Sildar Hallwinter was a retired knight from the Griffon Cavalry of Waterdeep.

Description
Sildar was said to be kindhearted and was nearly 50 years old in 1491 DR. He was a loyal member of the Lords' Alliance and a friend of Gundren Rockseeker. He was known to have visited Phandalin, in particular the Stonehill Inn, which he described to be quaint.

History
In 1491 DR, he set off to Phandalin from Neverwinter to escort Gundren, who had recently rediscovered the Wave Echo Cave. Sildar had his own reasons for visiting Phandalin, and wished to find out what was happening with his fellow agent of the Lord's Alliance, Iarno Albrek. He also wanted to help Gundren and his brothers re-open the mine, as well as establish Phandalin as a place of prosperity, as it once was. However, on the way, he was ambushed and captured by the Cragmaw tribe and he taken to the Cragmaw Hideout, where he was watched over by Yeemik. Hallwinter's equipment was stripped from him, and sent to Cragmaw Castle.
