Caladnei

Caladnei (kah-lad-nay) is the Royal Mage of the Cormyrian court, replacing Vangerdahast after his retirement. She is renowned for her feisty and opinionated personality, often seeming to be hard to deal with in the Court. Caladnei is also the leader of the famed War Wizards.

Background
Raised in Turmish by her Cormyrian father and Turmian mother, Caladnei has traveled throughout Faerûn in her youth, often via portals. She has trained her fighting skills in Waterdeep, dueled with wizards in Halruaa and even learned forging skills with the gold dwarves of the Great Rift. When Caladnei's mother died in a storm at sea, her father took ill and she returned to care for him. She began supporting herself as a mercenary and as a crafter of minor magical items. It was around this time that she attracted the attention of Vangerdahast and began the path to where she is today. She is also the only Mage Royal of Cormyr that is not descended from Baerauble Etharr and Alea Dahast.

In 1399 DR, Caladnei was ravaged by the expanding Spellplague, in a heavily-warded spellcasting chamber known as the Dragonskull Chamber. The room, its wards warped so that anyone with spellcasting ability can't approach without becoming violently ill, was ordered abandoned.

Possessions
Among Caladnei's possessions are a +2 longsword, a ring of protection +2, a minor cloak of displacement, winged boots and a brooch of shielding.
