Margaster

House Margaster was a prominent Waterdhavian noble family with ties to Asmodeus in the late 15 century DR.

"Nothing is beyond our grasp."

- Margaster motto

Description
The family had Illuskan heritage. They had Uthgardt blood in their veins, and physically they looked like the barbarians.

Activities
The Margasters engaged in overland trading of bulk goods, but also quietly practiced wizardry.

Base of Operations
Their estate was located in the North Ward, between Stabbed Sailor Alley and Shattercrock Alley. Thornhold, a fortress located off the southern edge of the Mere of Dead Men, was owned by the warlord Brunyundar Margaster until it was captured and claimed by a paladin as part of the Second Troll War. House Margaster continued to claim a right to Thornhold into the late 15 century DR.

By the time of the War of the Silver Marches, the Margasters owned property in Silverymoon, including a three-story tower and a detached carriage house. Two cambions guarded a stash of magical items in the carriage house, while Xamlyn Margaster resided in the tower.

History
By the time of the War of the Silver Marches of 1485 DR, several members of the Margaster family were secret worshipers of Asmodeus.

In 1488 DR, the Margaster family had allied with the drow of House Hunzrin and together managed a business of demoniac phylacteries.
